Save Yourself - Follow You Home



Truth be told, I don't really do reviews as such - I do musings and thoughts.
And this is what this is really.  Just so you know.

I pre-ordered Follow You Home's new EP 'Save Yourself' and it came in the post
this morning! So, excitedly, I opened it and immeditely took a photo:
(If you follow me on twitter, you already know this)


When I re-started this blog, I mentioned Follow You Home in the first post, 
so if you want my thoughts on the actual band you can find that {here} - 
But I want to focus on the EP for this post.


I think the design is perfect and very impressive, the photo is stunning.
(Forever thinking about photos.)
Also, it's signed, so that's just another plus.
The songs are just as epic as I thought they would be and not one
of them disappoints. Although 'Once Upon A Lie' has been a favourite since I first listened to
Follow You Home, if I had to pick a new favourite for the purpose of this, it would be
'Save Yourself ' - I think it's amazing, as are the lyrics.
'Playing With Fire' went on repeat when I downloaded it for free from their site.
If I had any doubts about getting their EP, listening to 'Playing With Fire' erased those
doubts completely.
Which leaves one track, 'Eyes Wide Open' - Which is brilliant and a perfect end to the EP.

You can still pre-order it now at: http://followyouhome.bigcartel.com/
& For £3, you really don't have any excuse not to buy it. You don't need me to tell you that, right?

Follow You Home are arriving with a bang in the world of rock music.
So I suggest you become one of those lucky people that have their signed EP.

[Feature] Automatic Loveletter


Automatic Loveletter

Automatic Loveletter is a rock band, with acoustic influences, from the US. The band formed in Tampa, Florida, in 2007, led by vocalist and guitarist Juliet Simms, her older brother and lead guitarist Tommy Simms, drummer Ryan Metcalf, and bassist Clint Fowler.

Simms and her longtime drummer and collaborator, Daniel Currier, recorded with producer Matt Squire (Panic at the Disco, All Time Low) for their Recover EP, which was released exclusively by Hot Topic in 2008, and with Curt Schneider for their iTunes EP Automatic Loveletter, which came out in early 2009. Between writing and recording, the band toured the country, first in two cars, then in a bigger car with a UHaul attached, and eventually in a van. They shared the stage with Secondhand Serenade, Cute Is What We Aim For, From First To Last, Say Anything, Between the Trees and Craig Owens, and played Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left in 2008. The highlight came in the summer of 2008, when Automatic Loveletter got themselves on the Vans Warped Tour, where they drastically increased their fanbase and honed their live performance

Up to and while touring with 2008 Vans Warped Tour, Automatic Loveletter held #1 or #2 position on the Myspace Music Emo chart for 6 months, hitting 10 million listens.

On 9/8/11 A.LL released "Dream With Me" to support those who have lost a loved one in the 9/11 attacks and hoping for peace.

Their latest album, 'The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On' is quite literally one of my favourite albums, ever.
It's almost completely acoustic and Juliet Simms' vocals meant there was no way it wouldn't also become
one of the albums I listen to every day.
I can't fault it.

Danger - Sumo Cyco (Music Video)

I tend to lose my faith in music videos sometimes, it's like they all have the same base and no one's
willing to break out and do something different.
And then there are a few exceptions... like Sumo Cyco, who make music videos bursting with
action and a story.
Check out their latest music video for 'Danger' below -
