House vs. Hurricane

Pretty recently I've gotten into listening to this band, and I'm liking them a lot.  My friend, a month or two ago, just introduced me to them.  As soon as he played the first song I fell in love with the band.  The music is pretty cool and I can't seem to stop listening to them now.  The band is more hardcore style, with clean vocals and a synthesizer, for a more techno sound integrated with the harder sound.  Altogether the band is pretty awesome and I would recommend them to anyone who likes more hard core type music, like myself.

A Day To Remember

All time favorite right here. This band is quite different from the rest, and I will always, and I mean always love them.  Their music is upbeat and I just love listening to them.  When I started listening to them, they were on one of their older albums, I'm not quite sure which it was, but I liked it a lot.  Soon after, they came out with a newer album called 'Homesick'.  This album was absolutely incredible.  I'm not sure they could make a better one than this, but who knows.  I got the chance to see them live last year at Warped Tour '09, and I had a great time.  Currently, there is an EP out for their new album 'What Separates Me From You'.  I have only heard two songs from it, and it sounds a little different from their previous album, but still pretty good.  I'm hoping the album is released soon so I can check the whole thing out, and maybe even see them play it live in the near future.

The Devil Wears Prada

I've been listening to The Devil Wears Prada for about three years now, and they just keep getting better with every album they put out.  This is one of those bands that I like every album that they have put out, and most likely will like every album they will put out.  My personal favorite album is their more recent one, 'With Roots Above and Branches Below'.  Once I heard that album I became addicted, and couldn't stop listening to it.  I went through that album so many times.  Their older albums are also pretty good, I just don't listen to them quite as much.  Also, their newest EP has just come out, 'Zombies'.  The five songs on the EP are pretty amazing in my opinion, so I'm gonna guess the album will be great when it comes out.  I have also gotten the chance to see the band live, with them playing pretty much the entire 'With
Roots Above and Branches Below' album, which was pretty amazing. 
I don't think I'm ever going to dislike this band.

August Burns Red

August Burns Red is a band that I like to listen to every couple weeks.  I try not to listen to them too much so I don't get tired of hearing them.  This is one of my favorite metal bands.  I happen to like all of the albums that they have put out, which is just three.  'Thrill Seeker', 'Messengers', and their newest release, 'Constellations'.  I'm not quite sure how long I have been listening to them, but I know I always will.  I am also trying to see this band live in November this year in Philly at the Electric Factory.  They are playing with a band that I have already seen live, but am not really a huge fan of them, called 'Bring Me the Horizon'.  Although I'm not a huge fan, the show should be pretty awesome.

Alesana

I've been listening to Alesana for about four years now.  I'm not into this band quite as much as the bands from other posts I've made,  but like those posts, I only like a certain album by the band.  Other newer or older albums just don't really do it for me, and therefore I just forget they exist, really.  The album I like a lot from this band is called 'On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax'.  This album came out the year I started listening to them, which was in the summer of 2006.  Later in that same year, the band signed on to 'Fearless Records', which re-released their LP in March of 2007, and released a music video for one of the songs of the album, Ambrosia.  I'll probably always listen to this band, whether it  be constant or just an every-now-and-then type of thing.

New Found Glory

Most of the bands I learned about before high school, mostly in middle school, stuck with me for the most part. In around sixth or seventh grade, a friend of mine introduced me to New Found Glory, and I immediately got addicted to one album of theirs, 'Catalyst'.  I liked everything about this album, from the fast beat music, to the lyrics, everything was just great about this album.  I still listen to them every now and then today, but just like the other bands I've talked about before, only that certain album.  Other albums that they put out after Catalyst just didn't meet up to my expectations, and I never really enjoyed listening to them near as much as I did this one.  What's even better, is that I got the opportunity to see this band live, and they did happen to play a few songs from my favorite album.  It was a great show.

Underoath

A band that I've always liked a lot, but never listened to as much as others, is Underoath.  I have been listening to them for about five or six years now.  The band has gone through quite a bit lineup wise, and currently, none of the existing members were originally in the band when it was created back in 1997.  The difference between the sound of the music they put out in the beginning and later on, more towards now, is very big.  They sound nothing like they used to.  I will always be a fan of this band, and will always like the 'in-between' albums the most.  'They're Only Chasing Safety' and 'Define the Great Line' are my two favorite albums of Underoath's.

Linkin Park

The band that got me into the kind of music I listen to today is without a doubt Linkin Park.  I have been listening to them since I was in about second grade.  I'm not really sure what got me into them, but I'm glad I did.  I had their two first albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora.  Both of these albums I still listen to today, and know just about every word to every song from listening to them so much.  Hybrid Theory was released the day before my birthday in 2000, on October 24th.  I was only 9 years old at the time.  The next album they released, even better than the first, was Meteora, which was out on March 25, 2003.  Every song on this album, in my own opinion, was incredible.

After this album, I refused to really listen to anything new they put out.  The albums they put out after Meteora sounded completely different, and wasn't them in my opinion.  I wish they did put out more stuff like their first two albums, but there's not much I can do, really.
