Those fine young men are Yellowcard. You've heard the name thanks to their album, Ocean Avenue. It was like the soundtrack of a couple summers ago. The point is they released a new album called Paper Walls and that is easily the best album I've heard in a long time. Standout tracks include Shadows and Regret, Afraid and The Takedown.
Next up we have Bright Eyes. He dated Winona Ryder and so his name is eh, kinda familiar. Whatever, he's a favorite on the indie circuit and writes crazy good songs. The fact that he's cute makes 15-year-old girls happy, but the rest of us like his songs. Download the albums, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, immediately.
Last up, is Say Anything. The brainchild of Max Bemis, this band has had it's share of turmoil in its history. Max is honest about his battles with bipolar disorder and his Jewish heritage in his songs and interviews. He's also amazingly talented at writing not only catchy hooks, but lyrics that stick in your head for days. Say Anything's latest double disc opus, In Defense of the Genre, is undoubtedly one of the best cds in the last six months.
