The Vespers

The Vespers are a quartet of folk glory! The sisters, Callie and Phoebe Cryar and brothers Bruno and Taylor Jones create beautiful music together with banjo, harmonizing vocals, upright bass, and a few other instruments.

The four friends just released their most recent music video for "Lawdy" off their latest project, "The Fourth Wall".  Trust me, it's brilliant.

I have seen them live twice and was swept away by their undeniable talent. I am still confused how they haven't been signed yet.

Here is a 6 minute documentary that they put together about their band, if you're interested about learning more.

Here are a few more videos for you to enjoy:
"Cotton Field" Live (don't worry it doesn't sound awful)
"Flower Flower"

Underoath

Underoath the post-hardcore legends are releasing some vinyl records of their earlier projects, "Changing of Times" and "Chasing Safety".

At their online store you are choose from their album and there are also multiple bundles if you are a huge Oath fan.

If I had a record player I would be getting "Chasing Safety" in a heartbeat! This band is what got me into the hard music scene in the first place.

I would constantly play "Define the Great Line" which plunged me into exploring other hardcore bands. That album is now one of my favorites of all time.

Here are some of their awesome videos!
"Writing on the Walls"
"In Regards to Myself"
"You're Ever So Inviting"

The Overseer

The Overseer just released their newest music video for the song "Absolve" off their 2012 project "We Search, We Dig".

This quartet of Arkansas natives are one of the newest bands to be signed to Solid State Records and are still getting their feet off the ground in the metal music scene.

Their full-length is of the hardcore genre and really gets the listener pumped up. If you are looking for an adrenaline boost, this is a band you want to check out.

At Creation Festival this summer, I got the chance to chat with the frontman, Anthony Rivera and drummer, Abishai Collingsworth when I was at the festival. They were super nice guys and I really enjoyed talking with them both.

Their show that night was awesome! They got the entire crowd moving even though most were not familiar with their material.

This fall they will be on tour with: The Color Morale, Of Mice and Men, and August Burns Red. You can check out tour dates by clicking here.

This is going to be a seriously sick tour, if you're going I am completely jealous.

New Found Glory

New Found Glory has been in the punk music scene for 10 years now and they are more than excited about celebrating it with their fans.

In honor of this anniversary, they are touring the States with The Story So Far, Seahaven, and Candy Hearts. This tour is particularly special because they will be playing their first album "Sticks and Stones" the entire way through!

For show dates check out their site!

They are having a pre-sale for tickets on September 6th at 12pm (which ever time zone the venue is in) and then the general sale will being on the 13th.

Get your tickets while they're still available! The show should be sick.

Flyleaf "New Horizons" Video

Today the band Flyleaf just released their newest music video for their single "New Horizons".

The song and video is completely different from their previous work. The scenes are not dark or crazy, they are playing in a room and frontwoman, Lacey is in the middle of their circle. Then at the end it goes to her outside with plants and her husband and baby (yeah, totally wasn't aware she was a mother) sitting on a blanket.

After seeing the video it has given me no hope in the band continuing with their harder sound. I loved Flyleaf for Lacey being raw in her vocals and lyrics and this track lacks all of those things.

Hey, maybe I'm wrong! Maybe when their third album comes out I'll be blown away but until then I remain disappointed.

UPDATE!!! So I have had this song on repeat for about 10 minutes now and it is really growing on me. Maybe this less edgy Flyleaf isn't too bad.
