After Midnight - Blink 182



      What's up everyone?! Blog number two! I had a little struggle in picking out a song I wanted to blog about this week, but I finally came to a conclusion. I decided to go with After Midnight by Blink 182. This is the groups second brand new single. It will be appearing on their upcoming album, Neighborhoods, which will be in stores September 27th.

         I am really excited about Blink's new album. It is going to hopefully please everyone because I know it is getting a lot of hype, but I have faith that Blink will not disappoint. Blink 182's sound is quite unique. It really has that 90's punk rock sound that was so popular back when most of us were just kids growing up. This California native band really hit the scene in 1999 when they released two of their most popular singles, What's My Age Again and All the Small Things. They have sold over 27 million albums worldwide and with the release of their new album they will probably go up a lot more.

         Blink 182 has a very strong fan basis. They were a extremely influencial group during the mid and late 90's. Many think of Blink 182 and Sum 41 whenever you mention punk rock groups. That music has sort of faded and I would even say that it has died down over the years. Our generation is more of a hip-hop/rap and pop type of music generation.

         For me I love old school punk rock and I do like a lot of old school and some new school hip-hop and rap. There is a limit though to how much of the pop music I can take at once. Thanks for reading! Comment on my blog!

August - Bear Attack


First post on the blog! I really love this song, it's very relaxing and peaceful. The group Bear Attack is an Los Angeles based Indie rock band whose sound has been described as reminiscent of Radiohead. The founding members met upon arriving at USC to be apart of the inaugural class of the Popular Music Program, and after playing together as backup musicians in various acts, they decided to start their own project. Drawing upon diverse musical backgrounds, each member uses their individual voice to create a unique group sound. These guys and girl, mainly perform in the LA area so they aren't very big yet but I love the way they sound! Find them on facebook and become fans!
