Music is good.

The other day I spent some quality time checking out some Tooth & Nail bands the other day, let me give you the low down.

Me Without You
The song I downloaded started out promising, then turned into generic hardcore. Too bad.

Mae
I didn't really know what to expect when I downloaded the (unfortunatly) only song they had up, but let me tell you, it freaking rules.Their cd "Destination: Beautiful" Comes out febuary 25th, and will be one of the many, many compact discs I'll be buying that come out in Feb. and March. The song is very pretty, it kinda has an airy sound to it, which is something I enjoy alot.

Poor Old Lu
They've been around awhile, but I've never really listened to them. It's not too bad I must say, but I haven't made up my mind about his voice. It's definetly rock though.

Slow Coming Day
They're sort of emo rock I guess. Not bad by any means, they just didn't stick out to me much.

Watashi Wa
The only song they have up is a rough mix of a song right now, but it's not bad. It's sorta poppy, and it also has a touch of 80's. Not punk like I expected. I kinda like it.

Bon Voyage
Now wait, before you stop and say "Pistol! That's a girl pop band! What were you thinking?!?", let me say two words: Jason Martin. If you didn't know (which I didn't until I read a review on Decapolis), Bon Voyage is: Jason Martin, Julie Martin and Travis Zimmerman (I have no idea). Ronnie Martin also provides some synthes I hear. Anyway, since Jason does all the guitars (and writes the lyrics too I think), it sounds like Starflyer, only more poppy, due to Julie's vocals. I'm going to just say right now, that I enjoy it very much. Girl singer or not. She actually goes really well with Jason's guitars. Good stuff.

There you have it, although bands say they suck to be on, Tooth & Nail has some sweet bands.
