First Impressions II

I've been back to downloading new music, even though I haven't listened to everything I have now. I try and find bands I have not heard about on the radio or in a magazine, instead I just scroll down the list of the new adds for the site and if the band name, or album, or art grabs my attention I write it down.

Later I search them out on-line and I write down the first thing I think of when I hear them. I try and not judge them based on their web page, and I hope I'm not too harsh on them. I list the album name, the band name, and my first impression of them.

Don't take my word for it, the link goes to the bands site. Click it and you can give them a listen yourself.

Dirty Urine
The BadSeed
Buy Your Own Beats & Some New Rhymes

Since the band above was not listed as The Bad Seed, I did not find them at first. Instead I found this Bad Seed who is The Anger Of Wilkes-Barre. I thought this Bad Seed was more likely to have an album called Dirty Urine, but I was missing the clever entendre that the Brooklyn Bad Seed was going for, alas. Based on Brooklyn Bad Seed's myspace I hope he doesn't dedicate a beef to these kids, cause I think they would kick his ass. Speaking of Wilkes-Barre...
