The Official music video to Panic At The Disco’s “Northern Downpour”
The All American Rejects are hitting radio airwaves again with their new song “Gives You Hell”. The track comes off their new album “When the World Comes Down,” which comes out on December 16th. The new single is kind of upbeat pop / “told you so” vocals. If you don’t understand what that means watch the music video below!
Dream In Stereo, a band that hails from Southeast Michigan, really give their all when it comes to live shows and writing music. Their upbeat pop-punk style music is enough to make anyone want to dance. They are currently working on recording vocals for some songs that will be on their MySpace as soon they are complete. I talked to Dream In Stereo, read the interview below.
So, what’s the history of Dream in Stereo? How long have you guys officially been together, how’d you all meet?
The lineup that we have as of now has been together since June. Ryan and Anthony were in the “original” Dream In Stereo and then they dropped the old drummer and guitarist and picked up Blake and Eric. This has been the line up so far.
What’s your writing process? Is it always this way?
We all sit down and throw together our basic ideas and then leads are written, then we just practice and do touch ups. It’s not always this way though.
Do you use any FX at your live shows? If so what kind?
Nope.
What would your dream show be, if you could play with any band at any venue?
Blake- Warped Tour
Anthony- Blink-182 at the Hayloft
Eric- Warped Tour
Ryan- Senses Fail anywhere
If The Dream in Stereo could do one thing to change the world, what would it be?
Party.
Anyone got a favorite TV show or movie?
Superbad excluding Eric who likes American Beauty.
Would you like to tell any of your fans anything special that’s going on?
We’re announcing our new vocalist, recording our EP in October, playing shows for the rest of the year, and keep an eye out for us coming to your town on tour this spring.
And thank you for everyone that came out to our shows and talked with us.

The new Fall Out Boy album “Folie A Deux” comes out on November 4th, which happens to be election day. Shocker right? Given the title of this post. Patrick Stump, Vocals/Guitar, told Billboard that “it’s a political record only insofar as anyone making music and paying attention to what’s happening will make a record tinged with politics. You can’t ignore it.” While Fall Out Boy remain neutral on their Rock The Vote performances, Stump shared his feeling about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama as “the most excited I’ve been about a candidate.”
Starting in early October “The Academy Is…” will be hitting the road with We The Kings, Carolina Liar, and Hey Monday. Before touching US soil they will be playing shows in Australia, New Zealand, and the Uk. Their new Album”Fast Times at Barrinton High” has came out officially today and can be previewed here. I have already listened to a few tracks besides the ones they’ve had online forever. My conclusion? This album is pretty solid and the tour will be the same.
Who out there happens to be from New York? We’ll if you’re one of the ones from Long Island New York then you may get the chance to see “The Overunder” live. This band came together last April and already have collected a rather impressive fan base. “With a boatload of determination, energetic live shows and songs that will most likely be stuck in your head for days, “The OverUnder” is showing no signs of going away anytime soon.” These five guys have some very great songs make sure to check out “Circles and Squares” or visit them on myspace.
I told you a few days ago that “The Day” was going to take over the west coast… and I’m not kidding. They offer a truly unique style, which can be captured when listening to songs like “Midwest Coast Girl.”

(will not work in Internet Exlorer for some reason,
sorry)We had a chance to ask the guys a few Q’s….
What’s the history of The Day?
Ever since high school, we have had a high interest in not only writing but recording music as well.(in fact, come to think of it, Adam and I, (stephen), have never recorded in a studio aside from our own or our uncles. Where that fact comes to play is with the creation of The Day. In an effort to understand the new recording system that Adam was developing over the summer of 2007, different song demos and samples evolved into full and marketable songs. Thus, into the production came jonny and ryan, who had been long time friends and musicians growing up with us. Although I (Stephen) go to school in san diego, which is far from close enough to fully function as a band, the songs were not complete until there was a full collaboration on the music through Adam and myself together with Ryan and Jonny as well. Now it is 2008, we have yet to play shows but we plan on touring California, at least, over the summer of this year. Although we all plan on staying in school, we also plan on promoting the band online and writing and recording as much as we can through the spring, summer, and wherever it takes us. To us, it is about the joy in writing and recording music, and response from fans that drives us to continue what we do.
Are you going to be planning a tour soon?
Summer 2008 expect to see a few dates lined up in Northern and Southern California.
We really love the songs; my favorite is “Never Ready.” Where do the inspirations for most of your lyrics come from?
To us, lyrical meaning in a song stands just as high as the musical content as well. Our lyrics are based upon real life situations, relationship experiences, family and even some spiritual issues at hand in our lives. Although songs that are solely based on relationship experience are most likely written by one member in the band, Adam and I like to collaborate and write together. “I’ve Been Screaming” is an example of such a song. Since we are brothers, this song applies to both of us. It relates to the time and situation of the move our family made in 2003 from California to Michigan, and our emotional struggle to bear with leaving our old band and never fully leaving California.
