FAMILY FORCE 5 WOOOT

"Back it up / Move / Sucker punch to the mouth / Now you're making out with the ground"

Family Force 5, "Get On Outta Here"

If you know me personally, you know that I do adore Family Force 5 quite a bit. They have this simple unusual quality that sets them apart from everyone else. Their first album, Business Up Front, Party In The Back meshed metal, dance and southern rock into an amazing piece of work that amazes me to this day. Then they took a 180 with their second album, Dance Or Die, which took lots of influences from Disco and recent electronic acts like Cobra Starship and Daft Punk. Their third effort, III, is coming out in October, and I'm going to get it the day it comes out (if I can). But, they have released the video for one of the songs on III, a track called "Get On Outta Here". 

I can best describe it as "Redneck Dubstep". That's all I can say. FF5 delves deeper into the electronica world by tapping into some heavy bass synths that have a ever-so-slight wobble to them, but returning to the "White Trash" (for lack of a better term) lyrical and vocal style that dominated Business Up Front. 

I really like it, and it really makes me look forward to III coming out in October. This is not the first song released recently, they had a EP that they sold at live sets which featured three songs, "Wobble", "Dang Girl", and "You Got It". "Wobble" was the main song, which is nothing more than a standard dance-rock anthem. "Dang Girl"... I dunno, the lyrics are just "omg hot girl" at its core, but it has a DUBSTEP BREAKDOWN which makes it immediately awesome. Just sayin.

So, that's that. FF5, rednecks, dubstep, what have you.

New music: June 11, 2011

I have finished a couple of songs and posted them on Youtube. Here they are:

"Forgive My Sins", by Explosives



I really like this one. Not too amazing, but better than I've ever done before.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues", by Zerothemaster feat. Explosives:



My first real experiment with wobble bass. I like it. It's fairly minimalist, but I like it that way. It's a cover of Bob Dylan, in case you don't know.

I'll work on more when I get back in two weeks. I hope to make a more proper Dubstep track. :D

FALLLINNNGGG UUUUUPPPP!!!!!

I just listened to a pair of new songs off of Falling Up's upcoming album, Your Sparkling Death Cometh. This is, of course, my reaction:




Oh yeah.

Here's the link to their Facebook.

What I really like is that they're retaining a lot of the sounds that they used on Fangs!. "Blue Ghost" sounds very much like Fangs!, with the experimental sound, while "Diamnds" sounds very much like a rock single. I love both, and can't wait till the album comes out. I'll get back from camping, like, the week of. I'm so pumped now. :D
