Lost Ocean
Believe

I found a new reside
Story from the inside
Of the insane asylum tonight
Take me in, I'm the one
"Fool you" trick has begun
When I get what I came for, I'm gone

I believe I've been deceived
You've been misleading me
You and me were never meant to be in company
So give it up, give it up, give it up

I often think about
Philosophy and doubt
I never thought you that could
Mistake me here for good
But you did, so I beg and I plead
I beg and plead

Something beautiful
Something innocent
Something pure inside my heart
Come in

BANDS IVE GIVEN UP ON SEEING

I recently bought a bunch of albums. Around ten in the month of may. And I have been enjoying a lot of them. So here is a list of the ones that are really holding my attention of late.

MuteMath - Mutemath
This self titled debut is amazing. A very critically acclaimed band that aims not to be radio friendly but experimental. The thing that really has me hooked onto them is the retro sound. The band plays vintage instruments. So the guitars riffs and drum beats are similar to something you would have heard from a new wave band in the 70's o 80's. The lyrics are awsome and the music is anthemic. Think u2 combined with The Police and the killers.

Edison Glass - A burn or a shiver
Once again a band that combines elements such as indie and classic rock together. The riffs are catchy and combine a classic new wave rock feel with jazz and raggae elements. The lyrics are equally amazing. This band plays with a lot of skill and that is reflected on this debut cd.

Hundred Year Storm - Hello From The Children of Planet Earth
This bans straddles the fence between pop, indie rock and emo. The guitar riffs are catchy, the bass lines are groovy and the drum beats are unpredictable. The lyrics also stride a cord, hope and restoration in the midst of pain and chaos is the central them of this album, something anyone can relate too. Great indie rock.

Turn off the stars - Turn off the stars
An indie rock band with a decidedly brit rock style. They sound a lot like coldplay but don't come across as ripp offs in the end. Again the instrumentation is great and the lyrics are honest and relatable.

Lost Ocean - Lost Ocean
Piano based indie pop/rock. I like this band a lot because of the piano melodies, much like mae this band captivates me because of the piano and emotive lyrics.

I get a lot of flack for listening to Christian rock. People expect the music to be watered down and boring, but really, let's ask "The Simpsons" what the real difference is: "All you do is change 'Jesus' to 'baby'"

Okay, obviously it's bigger than that, but I have a huge appreciation for Christian artists whose music break standards even for the secular ear. This doesn't mean taking mainstream formulas and popping in a few lines about love--this means generating forward-thinking, awesome music with faith.

I was going to do a general blog of creative Christian rock bands, but I have never been as geeked out about a label as I have about Credential Recordings. I've never picked a favorite label until now.

On Credential:

Edison Glass - Crazy guitar riffs and twists in a classic-rock-meets-punk-meets-electric-twitch style for fans of The Mars Volta, Jonezetta, The Police.

Future of Forestry - The band's name comes from a C.S. Lewis poem about the appreciation and preservation of natural beauty. In true C.S. style (dare I say such a thing), the band carves out both surreal melodies and sharp, epic guitars. For fans of...Snow Patrol, The Shins, Jimmy Eat World, Muse.

Lost Ocean - Poignant, dynamic, and sometimes a little jazzy, their piano rock suits fans of Copeland, Aqualung, Halifax.

I can't say anything about them yet, but the Credential roster also boasts Dizmas, Seabird, Turn Off The Stars. I haven't heard of Seabird, but I've seen the other two get some nice press.

People Get Ready because BAC podcast number 52 is out, jam-packed with hot, sexy, boring music from The Brothers Martin, Lost Ocean, Ecstatic Sunshine, The Frames, Casados, Edison Glass, Anberlin, My Morning Jacket, Rafter, Guided by Voices, Rue Royale, Ryan Alexander, Sleeping at Last, the northern coast, and The Series.
