Finally, I've been writing this one for I don't know how long! But now it's here, ENJOY!
SYN{A}PSE is a rock band from Victoria, B.C. The band consists of four guys, with a mutual passion for making brilliant music. Their style is very complex, I can't really put my finger on it. They mix mind-blowing guitar riffs and enchanting lyrics with outstanding drum work and a remarkable bass.
What striked me as I listened through their songs again, was how their songs build up as you listen to them. It's really amazing how they're able to keep me listening. Usually I get bored if a song doesn't start right away, but when they do it... I get even more intrigued.
They most certainly have a unique sound. I think I can hear a little bit of System of a Down in their music, but otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. Check them out and hear for yourself! One thing's for sure though, they are incredible at what they do and I absolutely love them!

Johnny One Match
Here's another band for y'all!
This one is a four-piece rock/alternative band from LA, California. Now, this band contains twin brothers, lead vocalist/guitarist and drummer/vocalist, which I think is pretty cool. Johnny One Match also has another guitarist and a bass player (who also sings).
When these four guys play, something awesome happens. They create amazing music together. Their music reminds me of any other alternative band I listen to, but what makes this band so special and awesome, is not only the incredible guitar riffs and the brilliant vocals, but also the fact that I could listen to them whenever. Like, whatver mood I'm in, it fits with the music. And that's very rare to find in a band these days, so definitely a BIG plus to that!
If alternative is your style, you should definitely check this band out, it's great stuff!

La Vie
My goodness, have I got a band for you guys, OR WHAT!
Truly, truly talented band: La Vie. This is a 5-piece band from Venice, California. These guys are rocking with three guitars, a keyboard, a bass, drums, a percussion and beautiful vocals. Their sound is very rock-meets-country, kind of like a mix of Rascal Flatts and The Fray. This is definitely something I might listen to when I'm feeling down and need cheering up, or if I'm just in a really great mood! The lyrics are incredibly beautiful and intelligent. Very special kind of music, never really heard something like it. Maybe it's 'cause I haven't listened to this type of music before, or maybe it's 'cause these guys really found something unique? Either way, I absolutely adore their music and I think you will too! So, by all means, check them out, you wont be disappointed. If you are... nvm, you wont be.
While both of their EP's are available on iTunes, you should know, that they are making their album in the early fall. I am so looking forward to that!
Oh, and if you happen to be in LA tomorrow night, go to Hotel Cafe to check them out LIVE at 10pm! Disappointed I can't be there, but I hope y'all will check it out!

Nostalgia
Well hello!
Thought I'd give you guys a little update on what's going on!
So I'm currently working on a couple posts about these two new great bands for y'all! Why it's taking such a long time, is simply 'cause... well, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. So if it's not just right, I can't possible post it. But don't worry, I'll post them next week, PROMISE! So keep your eyes open, they'll be there! + maybe a few extras ;)
Another thing, I am totally psyched and all nostalgic and excited, because: I FOUND MY LONG LOST SONGS! Not only that, I found my looooooong lost pictures and documents too! You see, my old computer broke a couple years ago. On it, I had all my photos and my 2000+ musical library! So you can imagine how thrilled I was earlier today when I connected that old hard drive to my now not-so-new computer! YAY! And you can also imagine how nostalgic it is to listen to all these songs that I used o listen to TWO YEARS ago! And oh, the old pictures! I already posted some on fb, they're hilarious! We're all so small on them!!
Now that we're on the subject of music that makes you nostalgic, I thought I'd post a few bands, possibly songs, that I lost and love:
Cute Is What We Aim For especially Newport Living and Moan
The Decemberists especially Los Angeles I'm Yours
Hawthorne Heights especially Decembers and This Is Who We Are
Kill Hannah especially Crazy Angel and Lips Like Morphine
Modest Mouse especially Baby Blue Sedan
My Morning Jacket
NeverShoutNever! especially I Just Laugh and Happy
Phantom Planet especially California
Rascal Flatts especially Why and Here Comes Goodbye
Well there are a few. Check out their other songs as well, there are plenty of awesome songs on their albums ;) If you want further advice, feel free to contact me!
Next, what makes YOU nostalgic?

Linkin Park @ Kaisaniemi, Helsinki [PICTURES]
The pictures are in the wrong order, so if you wanna look at them in the order that I took them, start with the last one. And the quality of these are NOT the best, so sorry for that too. More pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2056902735458.203657.1031294742&l=88bcedc1a3
Linkin Park forever
Hey folks!
Sorry I haven't written in a while, summer is a very busy time for me. Well luckily, I do have something juicy to tell you guys: about three weeks ago I went to see one of the greatest live bands of all time: LINKIN PARK.
That's right, on June 16th I was in Helsinki at Kaisaniemi and saw those guys playing their hearts out! It was a truly amazing show, it was what I had hoped for, and more! Since I am not a fan of their two newest albums, I'm more of a Hybrid Theory and Meteora girl, I was so excited when I realized they had played just a few of their new songs and more of the older ones!
This was the first time I saw Linkin Park live, and they really blew me away. I mean, my brother showed me a few live videos, but actually seeing them live... It was amazing. What amazes me most, not only their incredible talent, but also their cool-factor. I mean these guys are seriously COOL! They look like frecken gods up there! When you see them, you have such an amazing amount of respect for them, it's almost overwhelming.
Now, I was lucky enough to be in like the fourth row, so my view was not that bad. I got a bunch of great photos too, I thought I'd share them with you in the next post. Yes, that's right; a separate post for the pictures. I just looked at the videos and sadly, the sound is horrible. My camera is not really made for concerts. So I'm terribly sorry that I can't show them to you.
Well, this was an unusually long post, and I could probably go on forever telling you how much I love LP and that I've been their loyal fan since I was about 7 years old and my brother made me listen to Don't Stay and From the Inside. But I wont. I wont, because I'm pretty sure you have other things to do now. Hope I didn't completely waste your time with this, and I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that are coming up in a sec ;)
Much love to y'all!
