Undergroundmusicblog announcements

Hello. If you are reading this, I am no longer blogging on this blog. But, there are almost 250 posts, so feel free to look through them. Even though it won't be new music, it'll still be good music.
So . . . bye.

*This is 12/23/13. I changed the polls slightly so that you can vote until 1/1/24. That's almost ten years from now. I at least wanted any people who happened to be visiting to be able to vote. I didn't extend it any longer because this blog will either get deleted or aliens will cause mass chaos by deleting the internet or murdering that huge satellite in space.
Thought you might want to know that my friend has a blog, and we are very alike. http://www.electricperspectivemusic.blogspot.com/
Yeah.
Oh well. Yeah. This blog is kind of . . . dead.
I guess this is goodbye. Again. Because it's a second goodbye, it's awkwarder, so there's no way to wrap this up. But I'm not a writer or anything, and this is the internet, so I can cut myself off midsentence and add three little dots afterwards . . .

Band Reviews: Follow You Home

I've listened to a few of Follow You Home's songs and saw the band on a few websites, so I thought I would listen to them and see if they're a good band or not.

The first song I listened to was Save Yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNtBZ6jP--8)
It had an alright beginning. A nice guitar riff, good chord progressions. The singer sounds alright. She doesn't sound very powerful, but she can sing. I also like the screams, that was a nice touch. I think it's pretty cool that they were able to make the song interesting and still let it flow together nicely. It's overall a good song.

The next song I listened to was Void. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO9E_g9hPo4)
A slower beginning than the songs I've previously heard by them, but it picks back up. It is somehow a soft song, even with the drums, bass, and guitars. They added just a hint of a scream towards the end of the song. The harmonies sound nice and everything came together in an unexplainable but beautiful way.

Last song I listened to was What's to Say You're Not Alone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ8drn-6Izw)
This is probably the best song that I've heard by them. I'm not going to focus so much on the instruments in this song. Yeah, they sounded really awesome, but I want to focus more on the singing. I feel like the lead singer did really well in this song. She's using a bit more of her vocal range, and that's really what was missing from the other songs. Good lyrics. Good singing. Good chord progression. Good guitar riffs. Good song.

Let's look at the positives that this band has showed me through the three songs I've heard by them:
  • Nice guitar riffs
  • Nice chord progressions
  • Decent singer
  • Decent lyrics
  • Knowing how to make their songs different and interesting without making them sound weird
      *  Also, I liked the screaming, and the lead singer's hair.

Let's look at the negative:
  • Through most of the songs, the lead singer didn't sound too interesting. She was just kind of supporting the music, and generally lead singer's are fronting the band or representing the music
Overall, they're a talented band that deserve more recognition than they get. I have to give them a 3 out of 5 stars. They're a decent band that makes decent music. Even though they're not the best, I'm looking forward to seeing what music they'll put out in the future.
