Combing purevolume

I decided I wanted new music. So, naturally I got on purevolume. Good artists, frequently free music, legal. And relatively safe.

Hello Tokyo -- Kind of peppy, but more in a white stripes way than a britney spears way, so I guess it's all good. Not good for depressed days, though.

The Elliot Project -- Dashboard Confessional / Death Cab reminiscent vocals, but more energy than Dashboard, and more raw than Death Cab. Good for the same sort of mood as the two mentioned bands.

Fine China -- Unique enough, each song is different, so it's hard to describe them. Poppish, techno-inspired beat and instrumentals, but mellow. Then on the *other* song I downloaded by them, the instruments were more deathcabby, and more prominent vocals, vocals also being in the postal service/dashboard confessional category... but in a different way than The Elliot Project.

Lastwinter -- Again, difficult to place. More rock instrumentals than the others, and sometimes rockier vocals. Another band with good variety, though the same vocal tools are used repetitively in different backgrounds. Look at me, talking like I know something. Anyway, rockier, but not overpoweringly rocky. Kind of in the same league as funeral for a friend, but not really similar to that band at all.

The Photo Atlas -- Kind of sounds like something Franz Ferdinand could put out if they were less scottish, and the singer's voice suddenly rose an octave or two. Similar in that every instrument (voice included) is very attatched to a beat.

Hmm. There's a new music fix for you (Especially you, Kaisha).
Unless I feel bloggy tomorrow morning, this'll be the last post before I leave for Arizona. So, bye in advance.
