Many bands these days strike exclusives with websites to stream their songs before their album is released and this week Paramore released videos of their vinyl of their new album on YouTube. I love their introductions, mainly because they are a little awkward, but it makes them more real in my opinion. I mean have you ever met a band? Chances are they were a little weird and awkward.

Take a listen to the album below in parts A, B and C:
Side A:

Songs:
01:20 Fast in my car
05:06 Now
09:18 Grow up
13:09 Daydreaming

Side B:

Songs:
01:27 Moving On
02:55 Ain’t It Fun
07:51 Part II
12:33 Last Hope

Side C:

Songs:
01:52 Still Into You
05:30 Anklebiters
07:49 Interlude: Holiday
08:56 Proof
12:10 Hate To See Your Heart Break

Just yesterday as I was taking 93.3 KTCL’s Music Survey I heard Paramore’s song Still Into You. I think that is my favorite out of them all, but I will be playing these videos back to back for the rest of the day. Sometimes you just need a little pop-punk in your life.

What’s your favorite Paramore song off of 4 Sides / 4 Nights?

This week I am featuring a song that I am currently *obsessed* with this Fall Out Boy song at the moment:

Plus the videos for My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark and The Phoenix make me excited to see what the rest of the album holds:

I have been a fan of Fall Out Boy for years and I am really excited that they decided to get back together and make this new album. So far I am digging the direction they are taking the band and hope this is just the first of many new albums from the band.

(Yes, I know that this song wasn’t released this week…but it takes me a few listens before I can really get into a song…this theme may continue.)

I’ve been a fan of Red Jumpsuit for quite some time now, but the band actually has even more special ties to this blog. Without them, Kaila and I might not have started Indiebitches.com because this was the very first concert we ever attended!

So take a listen to their new album, Et Tu, Brute for us:

Joe King from local band The Fray has started a solo project and released his first single. I heard this first on 93.3 for #303day this weekend and I enjoyed it!

Take a listen in the song below:

He has also released some tour dates that you can find on Reverb’s site.

What do you think of the new song?

Yes, I do like Taylor Swift. No, it isn’t very ‘indie’ of me. But I like Gary Lightbody even more than I like Taylor Swift. So when I heard they did a duet on her new album, I had to find it, immediately.

I think this song sounds more like Snowpatrol with backup vocals by Taylor, but I really like it! Take a listen for yourself.

What do you think? I haven’t bought Taylor’s new album, but I am definitely thinking about it. Especially because I love this song.
