New Staff

I feel great how this has taken off so quickly. I want to welcome our new staff members here to The Tempo. We're gonna start getting into more and different musical genres so that we can be a better read for all our wonderful fans. I'm gonna let them introduce themselves here in the next couple days so you can get to know them. I'm looking forward to what they can bring to this blog and improve it overall. What the future holds no one knows, but The Tempo will live on!! Ok that was kinda bad, but seriously? what do you guys expect?

Nudie Magazine Day( Better Than Borophyll)

Whats up music lovers? Not that anyone cares but its week three of This Week's Tempo and I have lots of info to share. I'm still trying to find a more interesting way to do this so you may see some new features and layouts today and in the upcoming weeks. If there are any aspiring designers out there reading this I NEED YOUR HELP! I just now realized how retarded I am at this. I need a new design for The Tempo and anyone interested in trying it out is more than welcome just hit me up via email. Well onto what no one on Earth cares about(my writing).

Lets start with a new segment I like to call: "Things that Make you Go WHAAAAAT??!?

Click This Link

Mistress Stephanie and Her Melodic Cat. Um someone please tell me they didn't laugh at every song. This is brilliant if not downright frightening. Lets get some feedback on this. If I could take this seriously I would comment on it but I gotta finish laughing.

New Stuff

When Yellowcard left Capital Records a few years ago I was hoping for a signing from another big time company. When that didn't happen I was TICKED! But it's nice to see Ryan Key doing well with his new project. "Big If" is his new duo with Sean O'Donnell from the largely unknown but talented indie band "Reeve Oliver." Check both these bands out although Reeve Oliver has now disbanded their music phenomenal. Big If should take off with an album release hopefully sometime this year.

This wasn't in my notes or outline but if you miss bands like Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, and Sugarcult you are not alone. What happened to true Pop Punk music!? It all sounds the same now. The only bands I hear doing anything remotely interesting is So They Say and Amber Pacific. Maybe I'm just tired of hearing similar sounding songs come on one after the other on the radio. Some examples: A Rocket to The Moon, Boys Like Girls, Forever The Sickest Kids. Whats the deal with this melodramatic music? Oh Well I digress...


My favorite day of the week other than Saturday has to be Tuesday. NEW MUSIC DAY. I feel like Billy Madison on Nudie Magazine day. Sure theres a couple I look at that makes me sick but there's always the Drunk Chicks mag. This weeks Drunk Chicks mag:

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's new single Beat The Devil's Tattoo. From the album of the same name. The Album Release Day is set for March 9th and this single is absolutely amazing. It showcases a great blues sound and for fans of Darker My Love and Kasabian this song and band is for you. For more BRMC check out their album Baby 81.
Must Hear Song: "Berlin"

If you like Type O Negative, Danzig, Depeche Mode, Tool, Stabbing Westward, Nine Inch Nails, or HIM then check out Dommin's first release. Love is Gone is a really good album. yeah sure its a little gloomy but features very melodic song structures and razor like riffery. Plus Kristofer Dommin is probably the next best voice out there! check it out. I promise it won't hurt!
Must Hear Song: Dommin's cover of "(I just) Died In Your Arms Tonight"

Album Review!!!!

Story of The Year's The Constant

I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this album; it is still a solid release but not a must have. The Constant is the fourth release from SOTY but it sounds more like a Freshman or Sophomore album. They don't disappoint on big catchy choruses but this band never ventures into any ground breaking material. A lot of guitar effects on this album help the overall sound and keep it from being boring enough to lull one into sleep but maybe just maybe the some of the better songs like The Ghost of You and I can save this album. If you're gonna purchase The Constant get the Deluxe edition for the strong bonus cuts which I feel are the strongest songs on the album. If you're looking for a similar sound but more musicality check out 30 Seconds to Mars' great new album This Is War.
