The Jade Shader- Cha Cha Choo Choo

Boilermaker

Boilermaker- Norman


I've been devouring the 90's and late 90's San Diego music scene.. You know, the scene where the real emo came from? Yeah this is that kind of music.

Boilermaker played alongside No Knife in San Diego. They sound a bit like Sunny Day Real Estate.. They're both pioneers after all. And modern bands- The not so good ones- Like Jimmy Eat World cite Boilermaker as their primary influence.. Which I think is a shame. Poor Boilermaker.

Their isnt much to them. Their CDs were produced by a member Drive Like Jehu.. Another band that I intend to write about. After one CD the normal guys of Boilermaker were overwhelemed with the attention they stirred up (understanably) and went into hibernation. Their first CD, the only one Ive listen to.. Is AMAZING. I feel bad because I like all the songs as much as Ill like only one song on a Cd.
This track which is featured here is from that CD. However, they did come out with another CD before disbanding in 2000. These guys got together with the drummer of No Knife to create the Jade Shader- Which will be featured next week. Sorry if this is a bit scrappy- Alot is going on! Woot to the new domain name.

Bye!

NekstSong.Com !?

I wouldn't have guessed what my birthday present from my fellow blogger Andy Davis or at Mac User's Blog would have been if it took me a million years. Certianly such a low traffic site could not have been involved..

Well yesterday he told me that as of my birthday, the 21st- I will be the owner of NekstSong.com!

I think that is amazing.

But It's also a commitment, which means more dedication and somehow..

An increase in readership.

No more subdomain NekstSong.Co.Nr ..

Here is the real deal. Thanks Andy.

I'm really into the 90's San Diego area type emo/indie-rock right now.
Playing alongside No Knife, before the becoming defunct as well, was Boilermaker.
Take a look, it's really good stuff. I'll bring more soon enough.

Boilermaker- Thinner Runs Through Her

Showbread

Showbread is a Christian Hardcore band from down south in Savanna, Georgia. They are signed to Tooth and Nail Records/Solid State Records which has produced many a fine bands. Anberlin, Underoath, Emery, mewithoutyou, and Mae to name a few (All Christian). But them being a religious group doesn't detract from their musical talents and catchy beats.

Showbread is a rare breed, in that they mix different styles of singing and music. They are fronted by 2 vocalists, Josh Dies and Ivory Mobely. They trade off Yelling, singing and screaming. (Ivory does the screaming and yelling... He's black... SO COOL!) This accompanied by the very rare keytar player in post- music, Josh Giddens!

Showbread is certainly a dynamic band on stage. One of the most energetic bands you will ever see, that's a given! They are matching in every way. They wear the same color clothes, and have the same color guitars. Their outfits have changed since the new album. During the tour for "No Sir, Nihilism is not Practical" they wore red and black. But they have changed their color scheme from Red and Black to Green and Black for the album "Age of Reptiles."

I have no direct download for you because I can't seem to find one. But their purevolume site has 2 downloads from "No Sir" Dead By Dawn and Mouth Like a Magazine are both excellent songs. They have added some songs from their new cd that you can listen to. I highly suggest Oh! Emetophobia!

Showbread is Currently on tour with He is Legend, The Fall of Troy, and Classic Case. The Black Unicorn tour is a MUST SEE! I was fortunate enough to go to a show earlier this year with Corey.

Showbread- Oh..

Signing off for now... Andrew
