"Garbage Truck" by Sex Bomb-Omb

Kings of Leon premiere new video

Kings of Leon just premiered the video for their new single "Radioactive". The new album is slated for release in the next month or so. But I have a feeling that due to America strangling their latest album to death, this one probably won't be as good. I don't know but the song isn't bad.

Song of the Week

Since, it's a hassle for me to do a song every single day now. I've decided to do songs of the week. So this week's song is "Portions For Foxes" by Rilo Kiley.

Honda Civic Tour didn't disappoint this time around.

Paramore performed three songs during their acoustic set.

   The Honda Civic Tour kicked off in Raleigh, NC July 23.

   The line-up featured Kadawatha, New Found, Glory, Tegan and Sara and Paramore.

  The blistering summer heat didn’t keep people away as the new Raleigh Amphitheatre located downtown was maxed out to capacity.

   The Swedish band Kadawatha performed first, but the crowd seemed dazed by the heat to even notice the band. They performed a few songs and admitted to the crowd that they were nervous because it was their first U.S. show.

  The punk rock band New Found Glory performed after Kadawatha. New Found Glory was infamous back in the early 2000’s. Granted I haven't listened to their music since the early High School year's, but it was nice going down memory lane.

Lead Guitarist and backing vocalist Chad Gilbert joked about the heat, “We understand the humidity we’re from Florida,” he said.

  The band kept the crowd on their toes by performing a few of their early hits such as, “It’s not your fault”, “Downhill from here”, “Hit or Miss” and “Don’t let her pull you down”. They even played their cover of the widely popular song ‘Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer.

  During the set they invited a fan who held a sign that read “I’m NFG’s # 1 fan” up on stage with them.

Twin Indie Rock duo Tegan and Sara helped mellow the crowd before the headliner’s Paramore stormed the stage.

   They performed songs from their current album, “Sainthood”. They performed an hour and half set.

  When the lights dimmed in the amphitheatre and a large white curtain covered the stage, the crowd went wild in anticipation for Paramore.

  One by one the band members took the stage performing riffs and banging out kick drum beats as lead singer, Hayley Williams ran onto the stage singing the intro to the bands most popular song “Misery Business”.

  I witnessed Paramore in concert last summer, but the set list was blah and their performance was mediocre. This time around they had the ability to remind me why I fell in love with their music in 2006.

  A lucky audience member was selected to come onto stage during “Pressure” and she was able to sing along with Williams.

  Paramore performed a mix of songs from all three of their studio albums, including “Decode” which was featured on the Twilight soundtrack in 2008.

  The band that’s heavily known for the pop rock sound performed their new ballad, “The Only Exception” which had the audience waving their bright cell phones in the air. I was even more estatastic when they performed "My Heart", which is off their debut album All We Know Is Falling.

  Half way during their set, they exited the stage and returned with the lights dimmed. A red couch and two lamps created an intimate and personal setting as the band performed three songs acoustically.

  The band ended the night with two encores, “Let the flames begin” and “Brick by boring brick”.
