Music Influences Part 3

so, since i've got nth to do, (yeah right. i got emails to reply. but not really in the mood la. k la. maybe after this. haha.) decided to continue where i left off here.

The Rocket Summer - Do You Feel

this band definitely goes under feel good and happy songs category. i mean. k la most their songs. it's like a happy feeling about it. dunno la. very nice to listen. i feel like smiling la. happy songs basically la. k i'm talking in circles now. anyway, i remember that Julian intro-ed this band to me like online. cuz he was like addicted to the band at one point of time. so he was spreading his addiction. which turned out good for me la. cuz now i can enjoy their music. haha. got like a few songs then i decided to get their whole album since Break It Out and So Much Love from the album sounded good.
First Song Heard: So Much Love

Simple Plan - Still Not Getting Any...

k this band as i recall was from my elder sister who said their first video from their first album was funny and i should watch it when i can. i think i also heard them on the radio first. i have this album cuz of my youger sis who went and bought this CD. who knows la why she bought at that time. but anyway, i listened to the CD and i think it's actually a really good CD la. the songs are all pretty good and nice to listen to.
First Song Heard: I'm Just A Kid [No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls]

Sound The Alarm - Sound The Alarm EP

k this band i totally found on my own. haha. i was like listening to music online then i was like hmm. k let's try and listen to this song from this band. and i was oooo not bad. cool. so i got the song la. then got this album. which is just ok ok only la. cept that one song i like. trying to look for the new album of thiers. but can't find ANYWHERE. :( haih.
First Song Heard: Suffocating

Sugarcult - Lights Out

heh. this band first heard of them from Beccy Choy. cuz she was trying to find the lyrics to one of their songs on her (now non-existant) blog. so i also go cari la. then i got the song and got a few other song and i liked them la. so then this album came out so why not la get it. it's not bad la. nothing great i guess. but a ok listen.
First Song Heard: Memory [Palm Trees and Power Lines]


Sum 41 - Chuck, Underclass Hero

k this band i think i saw thier video on MTV la one day. and yeah it was a catchy song. so went off to get it. then when Chuck came out it was like their emo emo style music. and it was like quite cool la. plus i grew a liking for them already la. then went for Youth Camp, i remember Peter telling me to get the Chuck album. so yeah i finally got it. it's pretty good la. emo and all. Underclass Hero is like totally diff from that. it's more fun fun jumpy rock songs. more political and all that. more than Chuck la. but UH was like all the songs sounded similar. didn't really like that la. but some songs were still not bad la.
First Song Heard: Hell Song [Does This Look Infected?]

Switchfoot - The Legend Of Chin, New Way To Be Human, Learning To Breathe, The Beautiful Letdown, Nothing Is Sound, Oh! Gravity.

heh. this band. dunno what to say la. they're pretty much like awesome la. their concert also was the bomb. sooooo cool. and soooooooooooooooooooooo worth it! :D haha! their songs are ... hayoo all are nice la. relaxing in some way. and their guitar stuff is cool too. prob one reason why i like them. haha. anyway, i believe this band was another MTV found band. i think i saw them on MTV then only i realised the existence of the band. haha. i think if i had to choose a best album it'll have to be between The Beautiful Letdown or Nothing Is Sound. quite hard to choose between the two.
First Song Heard: Meant To Live [The Beautiful Letdown]

Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends, Where You Want To Be, Louder Now, Louder Now: Part Two

comes to one of the most power bands ever. haha. k i like had them on my comp since like forever but never bothered to listen to them. and the song's i had at that time also was put on my comp thx to Sara Anne. so she intro-ed the band to me. haha. and then one faithful day when i was emoing, i listen to one of their songs and all the lyrics made sense and could be applied to my life at the time. and i jus fell in love with them. their best album is still Louder Now i reckon. the Part 2 of Louder Now was also a good listen. cuz it shows how awesome they are live. haha.
First Song Heard: Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team) [Tell All Your Friends]

Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds, Ocean Avenue, Paper Walls


this band rocks. just like their website url says they do. haha. this band was found by watching MTV again. i was like wow. their song rocks. like really. plus they have a violinist also. how cool is that?? haha. their guitars also sound cool in their songs la. so even more i like. the video also cool. so how la not to like. i think one of their cool videos which is a must watch is Rough Landing Holly. and their best album i think is... erm hard to choose la. all albums got pros and cons. all are good la actually. haha. get them all! :D
First Song Heard: Ocean Avenue [Ocean Avenue]


oKKAAAIII. so i'm finally done. k not really. cuz i know i like downloaded at least 5 albums that are before the letter R. but yeah. kinda malas to do di. but i wanted to finish this cuz at least i got some way of remembering how i know these bands. haha.

finish! :D
