Exit She Calls post new songs & perform at Warped Tour Camden on Friday

Exit She Calls @ School of Rock, South Hackensack NJ 7/12/09


















Exit She Calls is Kristia Moya on vocals and guitar, Carlos Rivero on bass, Jeff Lambert on guitar, and Ryan Bertone on drums.


Bergen County’s 4-piece Exit She Calls will perform at Warped Tour in Camden, NJ this Friday. They’ll be playing the Ernie Ball Stage sometime between 12-2:30pm, so make sure to check the schedule the day of to see exactly what time.

In the meantime you can listen to two new songs coming from a summer EP including “Out of Reach,” “In This Moment,” “MTFU,” and “Little Things.” These songs truly shine and show the band’s sweet, yet rockin’ sound. With a singer that truly sings, but guitars with tingly parts that make you want to shake around, Exit She Calls shows that you don’t need screams or super crazy guitar parts to be a good rock band these days. It’s refreshing to hear a band that doesn't sound like they're trying too hard or one that thinks they need to put on gimmicks. The lyrics seem to realize that things may be hard and we want may want something or someone, but we can be hopeful and we can do it on our own.

You can listen to “MTFU” and “Little Things” here, along with some older songs. “Little Things” closes with some sweet guitar licks, yet maintains a melodic vibe. You can also read an interview Kristia did here.

Hop Along, Queen Ansleis/ Little Lungs/The Diamond Sea/ P.S. Eliot @ Meat Town USA- pics

From Sarah @ Tumblr:

i saw hop along last night in new brunswick and don’t really have any words for how amazing the set was. p.s. eliot, diamond sea, and little lungs also played, and they all complimented each other’s styles and sound. it was as if each band was building up to frances quinlan’s set and the basement got progressively louder and each song was more intense than the last. such great stuff.

The first band that played was Bird Names. They were alright, but they seemed to have too much going on. They were jammy, but in an everything thrown together and doesn't fit sort of way. Check out the photos. There are more under "read more."

The Diamond Sea from Australia put on a great show and the drummer was awesome to watch.

Hand Jobs/ Zombie Dogs/Death Rats @ Death by Audio 7-5-09- pics & video

Zombie Dogs "Thrashin" @ Death By Audio 7-5-09


At the last minute I was invited to a hardcore show at Brooklyn's Death by Audio featuring Zombie Dogs, Deathrats, and General Interest. This would be my first time at the place, so I was excited. I had heard so many good things about this place. Upon arrival I noticed it was a true DIY warehouse type space with couches in the back area and blue and pink bathrooms. I also realized that Dead Today and Hand Jobs had been added to the show. Walking into the space there was hardly anybody there, except what looked like band members.

But soon enough Dead Today would start to play, on the floor, despite the fact that there was a stage. This impressed me and showed how much the bands really wanted to create an intimate vibe. At one point the singer came into the crowd and put her hand on my shoulder mine and sort of rocked me back and fourth for a moment singing near me, before going further into the crowd. The sound was probably the loudest I've heard at a show in a very long time, it was almost an uncomfortable loudness but thankfully as the other bands went on it got better- either that or I just got used to the loudness. But at any rate, it was a different experience from the typical indie rock/punk rock 'n roll shows I’ve been going to lately.

Next was Deathrats from Washington DC. The singer was pretty intense with her vocals and had some great things to say. In particular, that you shouldn’t make someone feel like shit because your life is shit. She announced the band has tapes, which still surprises me when I hear. Tapes are so old school, yet there are so many hardcore and punk bands that still use them and sell them.

Local act Zombie Dogs were another good one who was a bit more catchy with a shout scream hardcore sound, then super screamy like Deathrats. Boston's General Interest played a Slapshot cover set. The music was pretty good, but the vocals weren’t anything impressive and I could barely understand the singer.

Finally, it was Hand Jobs from Brooklyn. They reminded me of Bikini Kill and I really enjoyed their songs. When I moved to the front the singer ran into me, and I fell a little back but it was fun to see her moving around, the crowd really wasn't. The guitarist also played keyboard at points, but their should've been more of it. While most seemed to be enjoying the set, it would've been cool to see some people dancing around. It's not like angry, super fast hardcore bands like Trash Talk or Ceremony were playing. These bands were bands you could move around to, instead of headbang to. I would've danced around had I not being taking photos and been wearing my contacts. Next time! Next time, friends.

Brand New coming out with album on Sept. 22 plus playing with Glassjaw at Nassau Coliseum

New York, NY – Brand New announce the release of their new full-length album, Daisy, out September 22nd 2009 on the band's own Procrastinate Music Traitors, in partnership with DGC/Interscope. The band also excitedly reveals the details for a homecoming event featuring a headlining performance at Nassau Coliseum on November 27th in Uniondale, NY. The band will be joined by a slew of distinguished guest artists they handpicked to share this special occasion with them including a performance by friends and fellow Long Islanders’ Glassjaw. Playing the Coliseum is a true homecoming for these four young men who grew up in the area and spent their formative years watching countless concerts and hockey games at this very venue.

Formed in 2000, Brand New – Jesse Lacey, Vincent Accardi, Brian Lane and Garrett Tierney – have established critical acclaim for their innovative and boundary breaking music. The band’s head-turning 2001 debut Your Favorite Weapon (Triple Crown Records) was followed by 2003’s gold-certified sophomore album Deja Entendu, which Rolling Stone called a “masterpiece” and the New York Times proclaimed “extraordinary.” In 2006 the band released their critically acclaimed major-label debut The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me (Interscope) and earned raves for yet another chapter in their genre defying career from SPIN, Blender, NY Times, LA Times, and Billboard among others. The band also appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O’Brien to perform the hit single “Jesus.”

Now the band is set to take us down another path with their defiant new album, Daisy. The new record features a collection of songs produced by longtime friend Mike Sapone and mixed by Dave Sardy (Rage Against the Machine, Cold War Kids, Slayer). Brand New continues to break the mold and in true Brand New form, they delve into new musical territory that will astonish both critics and fans alike.

Tickets for Brand New’s headlining Nassau Coliseum homecoming performance go on sale July 13th and will be available for purchase via brandnew.ducatking.com.
