My Favorite Citizen - Discogrophy




While it seems it will still be a while before the official "My Favorite Citizen Dicog" comes out you can get it now. (Of course you will delete it later and buy the real deal... right?)

This has to be one of my favorite bands. They may have only recorded 4 songs through their whole existance, but bands with quite a few full lengths under their belt can't rival the greatness of these 4 tracks. Beautiful indie pop/rock that will have you feeling like a kid again, and if you're a kid have you feeling... well just plain good I guess. All the songs are positive, and very catchy. Even the tough guy that loves powerviolence and black metal may just find himself singing along.
(If you didnt get all the subtle hints, download this and LOVE it.)

12/10 (impossible I know...)
My Favorite Citizen - Discogrophy

Support.

Like Silverstien but with less talent. (The Chiodos Bros.)




(From the title of this post you may have caught that I like the "scene" band Silverstien, and if you like 'em but only have When Broken Is Easily Fixed have no fear because uploads for them are coming soon enough.)

The Chiodos Bros, now well known as just plain old Chiodos, have some pretty good stuff, so I guess I may as well show you some. This album is insainly poppy for a "hardcore" album. (Hardcore is in quotes because while thats the genre they are known to be in I disagree.) If you've ever heard their music before than you should know what to expect. Poppy, metal-ish, some screaming, and cliche lyrics. While you may be thinking,
"Heard one band like that, you've heard 'em all..."
but these guys actually try, even if just a little. Not the best but definatly not the worst. So now here you go, the original release that got them signed to Equalvision, and in turn has now -even if this is'nt the one that is in the top 5 on the charts- made them famous.

6/10 (Infectious poppy melodies and singing get to you, but after awhile it's just annoying)
The Chiodos Bros. - The Heartless Control Everything

Mindless Screaming. (Army Of Flying Robots)




While kickass art is one thing this album has, it cannot make up for how awful the band is. This is just primal screaming that is damn near unbearble. YOU WILL LOVE THIS BAND IS YOU LIKE ASSFACTOR 4. IMO very similar to AF4 and I like neither of them.

4/10 (Some songs are bearable but not enough for me. Just not my thing)
Army Of Flying Robots - S/T 7"
