A preview of things to come!



Since I have nothing of substance to say about this show yet, I thought I'd leave you with a 1500x1000 image of Spencer Chamberlain (Underoath) doing what he does best. This week is full of midterms and misery for me, but look for our interview with Grant Brandell and more photos of the band in the next couple of weeks.

Anberlin releases 'Impossible' music video; Kelly is left mesmerized



How's that for a blog title?

Now for something that everyone can be excited about: Anberlin news!.

The guys have just released their video for Impossible, which you can watch on MTV.com (sidenote: MTV should be renamed to Music Internet, because unless it's 2AM I never see music videos on that channel). I don't know if it's because of the two cups of coffee I just downed, but I am completely mesmerized by this video. The photography is just incredible; the shallow depth-of-field and post-processing make my heart sing.

The last time I saw Anberlin,…

Aaron Gillespie is no longer apart of Underoath?

No, it's not a rumor. Aaron Gillespie has parted ways with the Solid State/Tooth & Nail Records hardcore band Underoath. My heart is so torn! Aaron's been sort of a hero of mine since 2006, when I was just some "scene" kid living in Seattle, Washington.

Honestly, nobody knows for sure. We know that Underoath will go through MAJOR a sound, image, and message change. The same Underoath we see today, Grammy Nominations and…

The Almost new Video... TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS!

The Almost has officially released their video for their new single "Lonely Wheel". As you know, Aaron Gillespie is my musical husband, so he's pretty darn sexy in this. I think you should take a look-see.



The song is all about how we have this life we don't want to live and we need change. I think this is a pretty big topic, religious or not, to talk about with The Almost sort of fans. Not that the fans are all emo kids wanting to jump off the nearest bridge or drown in the nearest lake, but…
