And Improved...
Do you remember when I mentioned that there was a possibly that I would bring back an old category eventually. Well, tonight is the night, for the grand re-unveiling of The New Band Palace. The premise of the category was send all your new band information to musiccourt@gmail.com (i.e. myspace page, band info). At the end of two weeks I would listen to each band that sended me their info (This worked quite well. I received one band and I am not even entirely sure if it was intentional) and then pick the best of the bunch and profile them for publicity on the blog. There was one problem. I got no bands. Simple as that. The category collapsed and that was that.
Well, here I am telling you that the New Music Palace section in the grand multi-layered castle of the Music Court is back. It is open for business once again. What does this mean? You have a new band struggling to get attention. Well, I get a fair share of viewers a day that may want to check out your music. Send what you got to musiccourt@gmail.com and if I get your info you may be a post in 2 weeks. The reason for the sudden appearance of this once antiquated section is kind of funny.
A little bird notified me today that my old Middle/High School bowling coach’s son is in a pop/punk band touring the United States. I have known Mr. Hecht since I was around 12-13 years old. I am 20 now. Therefore, if I hear his son is in a band I will profile it. It is just as easy as that.
So, you have a few second? Well you are on the blog so I will assume yes, or you are just procrastinating slightly (okay, maybe a lot). Check out: http://www.myspace.com/withthepunches. I would suggest listening to the first song, “Burned at Both Ends,” which mixes the classic pop/punk sound with this interesting Boston anthem-like feel. By creating this semi-variation on an otherwise tried genre of music, With The Punches represents a new style of punk quite well. I am impressed. But, I would like to challenge him to a bowling game. He may make better music than I, but, can he get the ball in the pocket better. Well, his father is Mr. Hecht, so probably. Dam!
Still, check out their music, and enjoy! Congrats to With the Punches and good luck with the rest of the tour.
