Blink 182

You either hate em or love him..
I see so many blink fans, and I also hear so much negativity about them but there’s a lot of music I hate too, so it’s all fair game. 
Travis Barker, Mark Hoppis and Tom Delonge - The famous three to hold the name Blink 182

before they were big mark and delonge slowly formed by jamming in the garage, but they needed a drummer. The first drummer Scott Raynor quit the band after their first big album "dude ranch" in order to finish schooling.
Unfortunately for him that’s when they became huge!

The bands success went on until 2005 when the band members decided to cancel the tour for all their different reasons. But they kept fighting and eventually Tom Delonge quit, shortly after he started “angels & airwaves”

But in 2009 they reunited and delayed their album until 2011

I don’t care what anyone says
I love blink 182

My favorite song which they dedicated one of their fans who committed suicide
I love hearing this song after a long and depressing day, it gives a unique feeling that everything will turn out all right





Atmosphere

Ever since i started playing drums ive been obssesed with hip-hopand this past week or so ive been listening to Atmosphere non stopThe Main rapper goes by slug and the dj goes by ant. the two met in 1989 but didnt release anything official until 1997 with "Overcast!"i also really like how "slug" has meaningful lyrics. not about his "ghetto, violence or the cruelty towards women"like in the song yesterday, he talks about someone who misses and clearly needs to see again. the whole song you will pick someone to relate to, and you can relate it to anyone. but in the end slug reveals he is talking about his deceased fathercheck outWhen life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold ...AMAZING album




The Black Keys


At first I just thought these guys just sounded like an ordinary garage band turned blues. But then I was hooked in with their song “tighten up” off their 2010 album “brothers”.I thought it was really good and I better check them out, and I did which is obviously why am writing about this talented group.Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums). From akrin ohio used to be two former college drop outs. But as seen today they are widely known and very famous.I don’t know much about the group, but their very talented and defiantly a group that deserves all the success they’ve achieved Check out Rubber Factory and Brothers (my two favotire albums)And heres my favorite song by them






Foo Fighters


When Kurt Cobain of Nirvana Committed suicide in 1994, he left the world in shock, especially Dave Ghrol the drummer for nirvana
In late 94 Ghrol grew tired of weeping over Cobain, he decided it was time to rock once more. So he took the originals the he wrote over the past year, and made his own demo, the drums, the guitar, the vocals he did it all. 

Then with his tape buzzing around the music industry he decided to put the band together, get real members and record the album. Its really an amazing story of how ghrol put this band together and if you want to know more then you need to check out “Back and Forth” the Foo Fighters Documentary

But overall the Foo Fighters are an amazing Grunge Rock band

Check out their first self-titled album, its quite amazing.

And here's one of my favorite songs to get you started

The White Panda

I normally hate this kind of music, but lately i (and i hate to admit this) am really starting to like this catchy dance crap. call it whatever you want, but you cant deny the fact that it makes you want to dance.

My latest guilty pleasure "the White Panda"
two guys that take popular songs and clash them together to form the ultimate remix

i discovered these guys when my brother, who was visiting from college ran into my room and starting blasting the song below. at first it was hilarious to see him dance and sing the lyrics, but overtime he sucked me into listening to them


Tenacious D



Although Inappropriate, Vulgar and sometimes disgusting “The D” is a great band. From skits, conversations and real music they have talent. By they I mean Jack Black and Kyle Gass, two hilarious dudes.

They actually used to despise each other, but they got over it when Kyle taught jack how to play guitar in exchange for some acting lessons.

With the help of Jack Blacks acting success he began to sneak “the D” in with him. As you can tell in some of Blacks appearances on the big screen you also see Gass doing cameos from time to time. The rest is history

But on may 11th they put out their new album “Rize of the Fenix” the first album they have released six YEARS.
 Please check out Tenacious DThey are hysterical, and even though they involve a lot of comedy in their songs they actually hold musical talent.
