I'm always up for new bands and especially new genres. Neon Escape just recently released their debut album, We Won't Wait Any Longer, with the production help from Ian Mereness. I checked out their album today and it's a few genres put together, overall, it's something you should keep your ears open for. Featuring upbeat and faster songs and also some acoustic toned songs. 

The Detroit band somehow reminds me of Queen and Led Zeppelin and at the same time brings it to today's sound. I really like the band's take on being very open to different genres. Although the band's new and upcoming, you should seriously check out the song included for a better sound of what I'm saying.

The Voxtrot Break Up and Tour

Yesterday, I found that Voxtrot will be breaking up, right after their final tour. The tour starts in May (the 21st) and ends on June 26th. According to Stereogum, the band has been going on a downward spiral since their debut (and only LP) release of Voxtrot. This was back in 2007. 

I'm a fan of Voxtrot and I will try my best to get to see them perform in San Francisco, if you're around there, let me know!

B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray

Take some Twista, slow it down and enunciate each syllable. Take Plies, minus all the crap. Make Ludacris sound G-rated. And finally listen to this album, you'll hear what I mean. Before any comparisons arise, all rap brings out is a recycled way of music with a few new stories. Completely unexpected, this album puts together extremely well produced songs and well crafted lyrics. From rapping to just singing the hooks, B.o.B takes care of the whole album. 

Taking the current state of hip hop and the arrival of this album, both are opposites. Bobby Ray opens doors for change, from featuring artists like Eminem and Hayley Williams to actually putting together vocals and beats. On the other hand, hip hop doesn't see an end to imitation and recycling, this album isn't part of that. I'm impressed with the sudden jumps of genre hopping. 

The Adventures of Bobby Ray is a collection of B.o.B's personal endeavors that you can feel and hear on songs like "Airplanes" and "Higher." Being a huge fan of Lupe Fiasco, his performance only made this album even more ear-friendly. Songs like "Bet I" and "Ghost in the Machine" put Bobby Ray up for the test, one's upbeat energy packed why the other's harmonized reminiscent of R&B. B.o.B did a great job of inviting his guests onto the album, Janelle Monae is an undeniable listen for me, any day. And of course, to seal the deal, T.I. is featured on "Bet I."

I have to admit, the use of auto-tune did not do a great first impression but then T-Pain's "Time Machine" and B.o.B's "Satellite" sound very similar and are both equally enjoyable. 

Collectively, the whole album is a ballad of extreme emotions expressed by B.o.B. He really breathes some fresh air into the music industry. Check out the song included, I highly recommend this album for anyone looking for a change in music. One of the best albums of 2010.

New Slang - The Shins lyrics

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth. 

Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.

Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.

I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like

A gull takes to the wind.

Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree

And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.

Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,

Never should have called

But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like

A gull takes to the wind.

Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree

And i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,

And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.

Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?

And if you'd 'a took to me like

Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
