Mariachi El Bronx- Cell Mates
The side project of The Bronx is eloquently honest and this song has a celabratory tone with it's strings and brass typical of mariachi Mexican music. The hardcore band have opted for a subtle and sweet sound with heart felt lyrics "honestly, will you wait for me. Little world promise me one day I'll be free" Go on and get some mexican culture in your lives!
Alexisonfire- Sons Of Privilege
Post-Hardcore canadians Alexisonfire return with a melodic-screamo song that waves goodbye to the sound of the first self-titled album but welcomes a band who have evolved and matured with song structure and instrumentation.
The thought-provoking lyrics "America, Grin and bare the resentment of the world,
With all your ugliness and arrogant self-worth, Desperate to grease the gears of the hideous machine, The swine, they writhe and praise the infallible regime" are complimented with Dallas Green's strong talented vocals.
Devil Wears Prada- Still Fly
"What's up fresh, it's our turn baby." Metal-core Devil Wears Prada cover hip-hop act Big Tymers and pretty much turn it into a different song making hip hop and metal a perfect combo. It's off last year's Punk Goes Crunk compilation and it's a must hear to see how metal can walk all over hip hop.
Brand New-Vices
If you're stuck in the Deja Entendu days then you need to hear Brand New's new album Daisy, and this track opens it up giving you something you won't expect. The first 1 min: 25 seconds might make you think what the hell has happened to Jesse Lacey's voice but don't worry it's a woman singing falsetto beautifully which Jesse rips apart with his screaming and aggressive vocals. It'll wake you up and make you wonder what happened to 'The Quiet Things That Noone Knows' but then this is the same guy who wrote 'Seventy Times Seven' so I ain't too surprised!
Spinerette- All Babes Are Wolves
Brody Dalle, formerly of The Distillers, is back with a more mature yet still sexy song that still slips in her growly voice but is much more radio-friendly than her 'Sing Sing Death House' days. I guess marrying Josh Homme can make song writing (and life) a lot sweeter. But with lyrics like "I would die for you, I will never stray, I would die for you, I will never leave" looks like a more vulnerable and emotional Brody is on her hands!
