Turn It Up Tuesday - The Distillers - Coral Fang

Well, it’s actually Saturday, but I’m inspired to tell you about one of our favorite bands.

Coral Fang is the last and in my opinion, the best, album that The Distillers released. I (Amy) have been listening to The Distillers since I was about 12 and I would have my sister put my hair in a mohawk so I could look like Brody Dalle, the rhythm guitarist and vocalist of the band. The album has some of the best guitar work by Dalle; she seemed to get a tone out of her guitar that fit her raspy voice perfectly. 

My favorite tracks:

http://youtu.be/nclOYdxA9cM - Hall of Mirrors

http://youtu.be/Upv431GMMvg - Beat Your Heart Out (live on Conan) 

http://youtu.be/vWZoqoe1zrs - The Hunger (live at Reading & Leeds)

Well they are actually all my favorites but those are great videos. Check them out!

Check out this album on iTunes, or wherever you may find your music…

Turn It Up Tuesday - Every Time I Die - Ex Lives →

Hey guys! So due to the fact that there’s so much amazing music coming out this year, I figured we could start sharing some of our favorite recently dropped albums and singles. “Ex Lives” from Every Time I Die comes out next week, March 6th, but it’s streaming live from Epitaph records over on soundcloud now. Go check it out. I like “Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space.” :)

(Yeah, so it’s kind of really different from OUR music, but it’s still incredible. If you like hardcore, go listen!)

cea-jaye: yelyahwilliams: Wow. I remember when this was every other band’s crowd. We opened the show and we got about 15 minutes each night to prove ourselves. The night’s that we spent wondering if anyone even cared enough to at least say hi when they passed by our merch booth on their way out the door. And all the times that I ended up just giving away t-shirts because counting dollars and change in front of people makes me nervous… it STILL makes me nervous.  Now, when we drive up to venues, I see our band’s name on the marquee. The same band that practiced in Jeremy’s living room ‘til his parents said we needed to go home. A lot of times there’s already a line of people waiting for doors to open. And we always always get to play an encore. (Well, what do you expect when we save our biggest song for dead last, haha). Maybe I should’ve written this on Thanksgiving…? I feel so blessed, so empowered, and so loved by all of our fans. Thank you for giving us a constant reason to be grateful. I never want anyone to be able to say that we don’t realize what we have. So, every now and then, just expect to see me get all sappy and lovey dovey and let you all know that we feel you here with us all the time. Love you wonderful people!!  This is what gives me hope. I don’t care if it kills me, I’ll get there.
