Bumpin' Out My Speakerbox: Unsaid

And you thought Orlando was just full of Disney shit?! 

The first time I'd ever heard of Unsaid was last year when they came down to lil ol' Ft. Myers to perform with Ekotren, and I was immediately blown away! I hadn't realized how hungry I was for something new until after they played the first song. It was like eating a good meal after weeks of eating nothing but junk food. I was beside myself with excitement. This band is nothing but the TRUTH!

"A New Breed in Alternative Metal" indeed! Their album "The Intial Transition" is out now, so save a couple  coins and get it!

 

Here's a little something extra to tempt the taste buds. Footage from when they came down to Ft. Myers. Hint: YES,  that burger joint is real. And no, I've never eaten there.

DIM THE LIGHTS!

Bumpin' Out My Speakerbox: Vexel

You know what? I'm listening to this band at this very moment while I'm making this post, and all I can really say is that I truly enjoy their music. This is another band that I can see going far. Not too heavy, never whiney, never sloppy with the sound. They take me back to the '90's a little bit with the music and the vocals. Got me hummin along, tryin' to learn the words to the songs and shit. I really hope that they take their music to the next level, because I'd spend the money on a cd. And I'm sure that when more people get exposed to this, they'd feel the same way. Unpretentious rock is what you get with this band. I see you Vexel!

Bumpin' Out My Speakerbox: Knee Deep in the Dead

Why damnit, these dudes are awesome!

One of the first things that I noticed is that the music is very... clean. Let me explain. If there's one thing that's a problem with most metal bands is that their shit sounds like runny grits. And what I mean by that is that everything in the song sounds thrown together, incoherent, and sloppy. Knee Deep does not have that problem. Each person actually knows what they're doing. Everything in each song is on point, and it's easy to follow the groove even when they switch it up mid-song. That they do switch up the groove in mid-song makes it even more fun to listen to. And the fact that they make everything instrument heard in each song is a plus as well. Nobody's hidden in the background, barely heard over the rest of the band. It almost seems as if each person gets a showcase moment, a chance to shine, then blend back in, yet still be heard. I've recently had the pleasure of watching them practice, and I can tell you that these dudes are no joke. Check 'em out!
