Review: The Strokes "Angels" (2011) by Sam Hodge
After five years of absence, Julian Casablancas, Al Hammond Jr, and all the other strokes are back to hand out pretty much what should be known as a crazy tribute to the 80’s. Angels, the latest album from nyc’s rock/post-punk/indie outfit has pretty much everything a child of the 80’s or just someone who appreciates that kind of music will enjoy. The album starts with Machu...
Freelance Whales-Weathervanes Review(pt. 1) by...
Hello all people who read this blog! Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Busy busy busy. I can’t even stress the…stress that I’ve had with all of my work I’ve been doing lately. But oh well, you don’t care bout that. :D
Anyways, well, this CD is already fantastic. I’m listening to Generator ^ First Floor right now, and it is a very trippy...

Song of the Week by Matt Hodge
So, not many of you have heard from me in awhile, whether it be from my ARE YOU STUPID??? blog or from You Heard Me Right(which, we’ve been busy, lol). But while I’ve been gone, I’ve discovered great new music, played my first show with my first band, Toastbusters(Facebook us. You know you want to do it), and done a butt load of stupid, yet funny things. I have also re-discovered...

News: Bright Eyes' new album leaked
The much anticipated final (yes, this is the last Bright Eyes album that Conor Oberst intends to release) album of Conor Oberst’s indie-folk band Bright Eyes, called The People’s Key, was leaked! I’ve listened to it a couple times through and I can definitely tell you, it’s something different. I won’t go too in-depth, because I intend on doing a full review, but I...

Song of the Week by Matt Hodge
So, recently, I’ve been going through my iTunes to see what songs I like and don’t like(my music opinions/tastes have changed as of lately lol), and I stumbled across this song. It’s really not old, it’s actually kinda new, but I haven’t listened to this song or band, for that matter, in a long time. They’re just now getting big, but people who listen to SIRIUS...

Review: Torche "Songs For Singles" (2010) by Sam...
ok, so i was a little late getting my hands on this CD. i was too busy putting the awesome songs from their other releases on repeat to go ahead and get this one. but holy crap, am i glad i did. torche comes out stronger than ever in the new “EP”, which is good enough to be a full length. The opener shows that the band has taken a queue from melodic hardcore groups, moreso that...
Band To Watch For: Middle Class Rut
This is the coolest band i’ve heard in a long time. Middle Class Rut puts a hard rock push back to the Alternative genre that’s been missing to it since, eh, idk, 2001. These guys and New Politics are the first two bands that i officially declare Gold Age Revival (as they both take massive cues from 90’s alternative bands). It’s interesting though because they have a sound...
Label To Look For: New Granada by Matt Hodge
This label has recently been brought to my eyes because of personal favorites Sunbears! and Sleepy Vikings are signed to the label, Sleepy Vikings being signed within this month. They seem to have everything under control, and they did good with getting mostly indie bands to sign to the label, and the label has done a fantastic job of signing bands with potential and talent. Sleepy Vikings, who...

Song of the Week by Matt Hodge
OK, here’s the song of the week. Aren’t you lucky XD? Well, this week, I’ve been listening to a lot of punk. To be more specific, I mean classic punk. To be even more specific than that, the horrorpunk godfather band is known as TSOL, which stands for their uncommonly used name, True Sounds of Liberty. EVEN more specific than the other specifics that I listed, the song is called...

Band To Watch For: The Black Pacific
Recently, a super group of punk rock madmen came together under the name of the black pacific. They play a hard edged melodic hardcore style that’s rivaled by that of Bad Religion, Pennywise (heck, they stole their vocalist), and Rise Against. The band consists of Jim Lindberg (Ex-Pennywise), Marc Orrell (Ex-Dropkick Murphys, Far From Finished), Gavin Caswell (Technician at SideOneDummy...
Song Of The Week
Some of you may know who Nero is. No, not the ruler over the Roman empire, Nero the remixer. This dude is a genius, I am telling you. He can make farts sound danceable. But I found this song as true awesomeness. I, being the person I am, like dubstep, and think it is one of the best dance genres. But this makes it better: It is with the Streets. If you don’t already know who the Streets is,...
A Second Opinion: MCR's Danger Days by Sam Hodge
My Chemical Romance is a very solid band. They’ve proved it in all their albums, including this little gem right here. On this cd, they try to break the “emo” label once and for all by taking elements of everything and putting it into one. Did it work? Let’s just see.
The album starts off pretty great, with a song everyone knows: Na Na Na is a great track. Yeah, it’s...
Tribute of The Week: Billy Joel
the piano man is probably one of the greatest musicians i’ve ever listened to. all of his songs are a beautiful rock/pop fusion with elements of a bit of everything mixed in at times. now, i could honor this guy any day, but this is his week this year. he just had announced a rock band track pack coming out next week, and not only that, but next year will mark the 40th anniversary of his...

Review: A Day To Remember: What Separates Me From...
I have been looking forward to this CD for something of a year. I have always been a pretty big ADTR fan, and I think Homesick was the best album of last year. Without further adieu, here is the review for What Separates Me From You.
The first track, Sticks & Bricks, is the I’m Made Of Wax, Larry opening that everyone loves. He starts off with a menacing series of screams, breaks into...
Review: Anberlin "Dark is The Way, Light is A...
Today, i was fortunate to get two awesome albums: this one and ADTR’s whatseparates me from you (which either i or matt will review later)
If you Liked this album, i recomend songs by Jimmy Eat World, U2, Temper Trap, Flyleaf, and Thrice. Or just listen to this CD, cuz you’ll get the best of all
This album is produced by Brendan O’Brien, who has a massive resume of classics...

Review: My Chemical Romance "Danger Days: The True...
It’s finally here. My Chemical Romance’s fourth studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys (henceforth known at Danger, ‘cause I sure don’t feel like typing out all that). And what an album it is. Let it be noted that the album doesn’t officially come out in America (or the rest of Europe for that matter) until the 22nd, but it was released...
Top 5 Favorite Songs of the Week by Matt Hodge
As some have already guessed, we of You Heard Me Right are avid music listeners, and are in a band of ourselves(beside the point. BTW, we’re called Toastbusters. Facebook it.), but I listen to five albums a week, and that seems crazy, but it’s how I musically “soar”. I win retarded line of the year. But anyways, here it is:

Song of the Day by Matt Hodge
The win goes to….
Andrew W.K.-I Get Wet
Yes, this party friendly tune has been on my iPod for some time now, and it’s definitely a favorite of mine. I have met Andrew personally, a great guy, and he makes awesome music, so it’s a double whammy. Here you go Mr. W.K., your song is now the 2nd Song of the Day.

My Chemical Romance’s new album, Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys has leaked early! I am currently downloading it, and by tonight I will post a full review.
The Top 10 Punk Rock Songs of the Last Decade (as...
Punk’s been pretty underground this past decade despite the fact it had some big releases and the uprising of warped tour has been astounding. Let’s look back on 10 great punk songs released in the 2000’s. (note these are opinion of influence and sound to me, not favorites. I have way too any favorites to make a list of them)

Review: fun. “Aim and Ignite” (2009) by Adam Brown
The only way to properly describe the indie pop band “fun.” is, in fact, fun. Their debut album Aim and Ignite, released in 2009, was critically acclaimed, scoring a 91% on AbsolutePunk.net, 5/5 stars from PopMatters, and 4/5 stars from Allmusic. Their music upbeat, poppy, energetic, and very catchy. It’s hard not to feel happy while listening to fun.’s toe-tapping tunes.

Review: Rancid “Let the Dominoes Fall” (2009) by...
If you liked this CD, you’ll love music from The Casualties, Social Distortion, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and The Reverend Horton Heat.
For all the years of their existence, Rancid has always been known as a band that combined the grit of street punk with the genre’s classic roots and some ska tracks put in as well. They’ve also been known to experiment with things, most exampled in their...
