Yeah I assume you have as well? The last studio update was awesome.

Yeah, TBC is classic for me but the level of musicianship and songwriting isn't anywhere near In Reverie and the albums that followed. Can't slow down was good for what it was (a blatant rip-off of Lifetime) but musically speaking it is not very impressive. What do you think of the lyrics on the trilogy albums? I think they got progressively worse, and I would even say that some of the lyrics on Daybreak are just plain bad. Chris went from using clever metaphors to describe how he was feeling to just blatantly stating his feelings, and sometimes it just sounds downright cheesy to me. I'm not a big lyrics guy though, so the fantastic music on Daybreak definitely trumps the lyrics for me.

I'm glad to see that you're a Saves The Day fan who actually appreciates good music and songwriting. A lot of old school Saves The Day "fans" refuse to listen to anything past SWYA just because Chris decided to progress as a songwriter and take his music in new directions. Sound The Alarm and In Reverie are pretty much interchangeable as far as being my favorite album. The level of musicianship on both albums is just great. Us Beatles/Saves The Day fans think alike! I'm very excited to hear the direction that Chris takes his music with this current lineup post-Daybreak.

i preordered it from their website before they announced the iTunes exclusive, but i'll probably shell out the money for that as well. my favorite album is In Reverie, followed by Sound The Alarm and Stay What You Are. Daybreak is probably going to rank 4th for me, followed by Through Being Cool and Under The Boards. How about you?

yeah i definitely hear the beatles influence. my favorites are Daybreak, E, and Chameleon (also Living WIthout Love and Undress Me but i kind of overplayed them when they were released a couple months ago).

i see you are enjoying the leak...how do you like the album? i think it sounds awesome.

oh gotcha. i'm so pumped for this album. i really like the direction they're going with the music.

how did you get those daybreak tracks? did it leak?

you're the only other person i've seen on last.fm who has both the beatles and saves the day so high on your charts...awesome taste!

i like your music-taste! (but i also think you have to many loved tracks :b) greetings from germany!

Dear Stevie, please stop loving so many tracks. My news feed is full of Stevie loves this and Stevie loves that. Do you know what I love? I little variation.

matey boy check out 'bastions' really good, slightly dischordant, heavy heardcore, with plenty o' voice breaking action!

alright mofofofo dont forget to blaze up celeste http://www.denovali.com/celeste/ their first demo pessimiste(s) is available on last.fm. its a bit less dense sounding, you'll probably really appreciate it. i prefer their albums, but its still ridiculous.. also, dont forget to blaze Mihai Edrisch, the screamo band they were in before celeste. amazing too... just basically, check out bare french artists. there seems to be an amazing scene over there.x

mate, check out both bands: 'la dispute' really beautiful, soft emo, with like poetic, half spoken half sung/screamed vocals. the track 'nobody, not even the rain' is making me feel ill right now..... also, check out 'pianos become the teeth'. more melodic punk, a more than life quality to them. voice breaks galore....

checked that track man, title fight/ it's not blowing me away, fairly solid melodic punk, but, not stomach rendering....needs some voice breaks..lol .how did you come across them?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMGVDDR6X_0 hilarious. look out for matt on bass with the big emofringe, and al on guitar!

mate, there's like, 3 women artists in yr top 50 bands. that's a whole world of music being missed out on// get on it bruv

alright man. check out 'the london apartments'. its a one man project from america, gorgeous electronic music, really pretty. i think you'll like it. his stuff is all up for free download on his site... http://www.thelondonapartments.com/dead/news/

hey man. what was the address for the logo generator you used?

see you've been rinsing the 'house. good man.

yes you pedantic mother fucker. mate, re-read the lyrics to potemkin city limits on SC. i did a bit of reading about the album and it transpires that PCL (song not album) is based on a true story about this pig called francis that escaped a slaughterhouse and lived for 5 months free in the parklands before being captured. the abbatoir built a statue of a pig on the side of the road http://www.bigthings.ca/alberta/pictures/pig1.jpg to remind the city of 'the importance of hog production'. the lyrics are fucking amazing. everytime i hear the lines "replayed his only fond memory, just a warm and distant dream of his mother's loving eyes upon him" and "the panic grew as the humans stalked amongst them. when the screaming began, francis shut his eyes and felt the hand of inhumanity brush over him..." i literally want to cry. its definately my fav prop song of all time. GO VEGAN! x

ay up! thanks for getting back to me! all I have is best loved goodnight tales and the firetruck ep on vinyl! if you could post me the links to the albums you mentioned u would be eternally grateful! thanks again!

can't predict if you'll like them or not, but i'm getting really into a band called 'twiggy frostbite' at the minute. theyre kinda like mew, swedish, icy pop music with subtle post rock influences and a slight element of electronica. lots of glockenspiel and tremolo picked guitars, really beautiful, sad but uplifting music. check out the song 'chimera', making me retch violently currently xxx

we're SUPER!

mate, i dont know if yr already into them. but im rediscovering the organ. obtain their album 'grab that gun' if you can. its fucking perfect.x

dying in new brunswick is so fucking amazing. one of the most emotionally evocative songs i've heard.x

yeah black metal spree, just woke up craving it, you know what it's like. the twee is still hovering around. but the two styles are so incongruous. in a way its quite funny. been rinsing a japanese BM band called hakuja recently. you wouldn't ge tinto them but i think you would probably appreciate a lot of the chords/chord changes they use. they have a really nice sound. yeah WATT is a pretty good album, although prob not my fav, FC is a bit better for me. also, check out a song called 'thursday' by asobi seksu. it has been making me feel ill recently. theres a harmony in the chorus that i am certain will render yr stomach unusable.x

yo checked out the link thing. yeah, it does shape up a bit differently with that. queen adreena are still top, heavenly are second. nice work my son. see yv been rinsing thursday the last 7 days. peace love + ice cream x

Hey, thanks for the recommend. I got the album a few days ago, it's a really great album, but for me I sway more towards Strawberry Jam style Animal Collective. Although, I think Merriweather would be really great live - speaking of which they are playing Leeds end of March, are you going? I'm thinking of tripping up for it.

yeah, got th album. its good, not too sure about the emo bits. but the metal is good. better than ruin. dead march and follow the sea are two stand outs. i'm off all afternoon mon, so could have a meet up earlier and have a listen through together x

early grave :|

yo in the process of obtaining the album as we speak. the tracks on the 'space sound good though, i think i prefer them to the last album. follow the water is fat. yeah we should def meet up before hand. monday eve, maybe aorund 6 or so? i'll get in touch with tom. cant wait to see you man, gona be a lush gig x

also, check the scream on FBTMOF 'whisky is alright.....' at 1:33 it sort of goes lower. fucking ridiculous. i love his vocals. well unique scream.

oh cool, our compaitibility has gone up to SUPER/ been blazing the gandhi too i see? in preparation. apparantly they've a new album out on jan 20th. i finally got a chance to listen to the thursday side of the split. i like it man, its got a new sound.x

yeaaah boiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeyyy. blaze me the videos of the thursday trip and the photos and videos of the pillfacesssssss... yeah? YEAH? yeah.

yes yes. been blazing ska'd for life. amazing album, in some ways i prefer it to devastate. proper brings back so many memories and feelings, its lush. we should have a listen together some time. on the subject of which, we should finish that one stop dvd we started, would be well good to have a record of some performances..==x

its all about the 'fm man, i'm constantly discovering ridiculous bands. yeah, i'm on a black metal spree at the moment, so will obtain the albums when im in more of a punky mood. alternatively, sea front?x

idiot pilot sound really good man, ill get hold of an album and give them a proper listen.

shit man. u ok? what you on a downer about? m83 is good stuff. i comend yr choice. i've been ok man, busy busy. ablint msgd me about sorting a christmas get together. should be good. hope yr alright man x

man, im on a cheesy emo spree at the moment. funeral for a friend's ep - four ways to scream yr name. i remember when i first heard that. well good times. also, fftl, underoath, and matchbook romance (greatest fall of all time, so cheesy but so satisfying). what you been blazing?

mate, the envy half of the split totally destroys thursday's. envy are ridiculous. you literally have to get into them so we can 'discover' them down the seafront and rewind bits.

Hey mate. Been a long time since the Somerfield days! I'm great thanks. Hows you? I caught up with Brad yesterday, was doing a bit of photography for his DPBS stuff. This Last.FM stuff is pretty sweet, just getting to grips with it and noticed you were on it so I thought I'd add ya! Hope you're well Stevie! Take it easy.

yo, metronomy sounds ok man, i'll check them out properly when i have a chance. did i ever recommend chromatics to you? they sound a littke similar to the metronomy song i heard (heartbreaker) except with female vocals, really good.

It was Nic that suggested it to me actually. Just found a band on here that so far seems on the right musical road, so looking good so far. Plus it gives a few more emails to read which aren't completely irrelevant. Uni's ok cheers, I'm volunteering for some charity sandwich bar my mate runs and have joined the Fell club lol (also as one of their drivers) so I'll be walking a driving long distances this year = good. How's uni going for you so far? How do you prefer living off campus? Are you around on the 18th of October? Tis mine birthd and a few ppl are heading around the city, if you're back this way it would be lovely to have you join us.

Hello screamoj, it goes good cheers mate. Cheers for the add, I'm pretty new to this so far. Quite like it tho. How be you?

hey, checked out blood red shoes. i like some elements of them, but overall i dont think i like them. they just dont do it for me im afraid. there's better boy/girl bands out there - huggy bear being the prime example. it's all about the wolfmeister's 'teignmouth' at the minute for me. hope yr well x
