If you like the kinds of music that I like, I would definitely suggest checking these bands out. Pretty good:
http://www.purevolume.com/wakingashlandThey are a bit on the slower side. Real good sound. I would suggest them if you like Jimmy Eat World...or anything with a more musical kind of edge. Too bad I didn't find out about these guys a few weeks ago. I could have gone to one of their shows...it was at the teen center in TO.
http://www.purevolume.com/selfagainstcityThey've got that kinda "punky rock pop" sound. Not the whiny emo crap. They remind me of a more musical Taking Back Sunday and not as whiny. I'm gonna see if I can pick up their EP later today.
http://www.purevolume.com/bestinterestThey've definitely got a unique sound. I'd like to think of it as more rock/alternative. The first song I listened to by them was Empty Bottle Translations which was full of energy. I like those kinds of energetic songs. They had a link to download a CD of their's, so I did. I've listened to most, and it's real good so far. I would suggest it if you like Thursday. They're much less "emo" than Thursday and quite a bit more "bright" in their songs. I think they were my favorite find of yesterday next to Waking Ashland.
http://www.purevolume.com/acceptanceI would say they're rock/punk. They remind me a little of Hoobastank. So, if you like Hoobastank and, I guess, Jimmy Eat World, they're pretty good. Maybe a little AudioVent too.
http://www.purevolume.com/bedlightforblueeyesRock with some occasional "screaming" in the background but not really. They've got good energy in their music. Nothing really unique, but a pretty good rock band.
http://www.purevolume.com/rosesareredPunk/rock. The song that really made me like them was Oceans (the lyrics are in my info). They were on the front page at www.purevolume.com so I thought "well, since they're there, maybe they're good."
http://www.purevolume.com/autopilotoffRock. I've actually liked them for a year or so. I just stumbled across them while searching out other bands. Their new stuff (the samples they have up on their page) is a lot better than their old stuff. It has a more solid sound.
http://www.purevolume.com/bleedthedreamRock. They remind me very much of From Zero, if you've ever heard stuff by them (http://fromzero.com/flashsite.html). They've got a bit of "emo" edge as some would say, especially in their song Broken Wings. It's a pretty and emotional song. But yeah. If you like From Zero, they're a LOT like them.
