Cool post-it stop motion video called DEADLINE

Crooked X

Hey guys Tim from Broken FM here. I ran across this band in a magazine the other day and had to see them for myself. Crooked X has come out with their debut CD this past January and they are all under the age of 16. Now I sometimes fell old around here but these guys are almost half my age. :) As young as they are they have a sound that is best described as old school. It just a fun sound that you can just put on and rock out to. The video below is a great example of that rocking sound. It is a song called Nightmare. As I understand it they wrote this song when they were just 11 years old. You can also check out this band on the game Rock Band. Check it out and comment.

As I Lay Dying releases a brand new DVD package

A few years ago I saw As I Lay Dying play at a small club called Slim's in San Francisco. It is in a place like that where this band shines. They bring a brutal set that is punctuated by lead singer Tim Lambesis' stage presence that at 6'3" 201 pounds can best be described as imposing. Tim Lambesis is also known for another trademark that is also a major part of their live show. That would of course be his long black hair. It turns out that back in the early days he was shaved and didn't even see himself as a lead singer. In their new DVD "This is Who We Are", released on April 14th, the band gives an inside look at their formation and some insights on the faith and personalities of the members. This set is a 3 disk set that includes the behind the scenes documentary, a live performance with the current lineup and disk of music videos and many other bonus features. The DVD is currently #2 on the Billboard music video charts and may soon be occupying #1.

The new video for the song "I Never Wanted" off the album "An Ocean Between Us" will be debuting on Headbangersball.com April 30th and will be premiering on the show May 9th. More info on the premiere and some upcoming dates for the band can be found here. Below is a sneak preview of behind the scenes look at As I Lay Dying.

Superchick - One Girl Revolution

Keith called in this morning twice and the first time he requested I play One Girl Revolution by Superchick. This song blew my mind and I had to play again during the eight o'clock hour. It was sorta like the matrix when you finally wake up to reality and your mind has no way at first to process the new information. It probably did not help that I was sleep deprived and totally loopy from the lack of sleep in the first hour. Thanks to this song and my mug-o-coffee I managed to pull out of from crashing right on top of the sound board and on to the floor. Thanks Superchick. Click to hear One Girl Revolution.

OK Go - Here It Goes Again

With 55 million hit on YouTube "OK Go - Here It Goes Again" deserves to be watched over and over again. The question is why didn't I think of using treadmills for my last music video? Well they did and got the hits to prove that it pays to be a little wacky every once in a while.

Scottish Bagpipe Revival Friday with Flatfoot 56 and their Amazing Grace Video

Today I don't know what came over me but during yesterdays show I got really excited about flatfoot 56. So today it turned into Scottish Bagpipe Revival Fridays and I played pretty much most of their songs from 7 to 9 this morning. I got some great  feedback last night from Keith and my wife and really helped me find my stride for today's show. I think Fridays is a good time to blow of some steam go hard core and feature individual bands and really get into it on the radio. Flatfoot 56 rocks and the bagpipes are a special touch that takes their music to another level. The music to "Knuckles Up" make you feel like you're a soccer hooligan in a bare knuckle scrap  at a local pub after your team lost the match. Good jobs guys.

Brian "Head" Welch - I am Second - Video

Brian "Head" Welch's video "I am Second" is an amazing story about how Jesus helped him overcome his meth addiction right in the middle of his drug habit.

The Fray - You Found Me -Video

"You Found Me is a tough song for me," explained The Fray’s front man Isaac Slade from the band’s MySpace page. “It’s about the disappointment, the heartache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you're let down, sometimes you're the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I'm still right in the thick of it. There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."
