Long time no talk. I've been pretty busy of late, of which I will get into more detail in a later post, but in the meantime here's some music. It's Friday the 13th, so I'll post two albums that I've been listening to lately. Get excited. Here are the first two!
Brand New - Daisy
Brand New's fourth studio album, Daisy continues in the noisy direction of their previous effort, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. BN is a band whose sound has varied considerably from album to album, and Daisy I think represents a harder, more 'mature' tendency. Lyrics are dark and well-delivered by Jesse Lacey, who also does a fair bit of yelling throughout the tracks. I know some of the people who (may still) read this blog will be shaking their heads at this more mainstream, pop-like entry, but give it a chance. Would recommend: Noro, Bought a Bride.

Paramore - Brand New Eyes
I figured I'd get both of the pop albums I've been listening to lately out of the way (or maybe there are more and I just don't want you to catch on). I think Paramore's a very decent/good band for its genre - their catchy songs and honest, straightforward lyrics have often reminded me of Jimmy Eat World around the time of Bleed American. This album seems to be a bit harder than All We Know is Falling and Riot!, as was signaled by the first single - Ignorance. Hayley Williams's vocals are great as well, and even though I don't have too much to say about the artistic merits of the band (capable as they may be) I'd recommend them if you're looking for something not too involved and pretty entertaining.
Favorite tracks: Careful, Playing God
