I was never a huge fan of The Rocket Summer but I’m really digging Do You Feel. Also be sure to check out the new MxPx and Sound The Alarm albums.
Jeff Watson
In between “Take Home Chef” segments, I saw (for the 5th-ish time) a commercial for the new TLC series, “Diagnosis X”.
During each preview-commercial, I progressively got more and more into the theme music..
..Looked up who did the background/theme and found this band, the Athlete.
New to me, they’ve opened for U2.
Also, I can never get enough of Hail Social .

Down to Earth Approach just released a great record entitled Come Back to You. This Tuesday a stellar group known as Scenes from a Movie release their debut full length, The Pulse. Everyone have a great week, and who’s stoked for The Simpson’s Movie?

Sound The Alarm – Stay Inside
Artist: Sound The Alarm
Album: Stay Inside
Label: Geffen
Purchase: InterPunk
Release Date: July 17, 2007
Overall: 7.5
Music: 8.0
Lyrics: 7.5
Production: 8.0
Pop rock has been one of the faster moving genres these past few years but what about that 90’s pop rock that use to be on every radio station back in the day? Sound The Alarm’s first full length debuts with tracks like “Picture Perfect”, and “Stay Inside” that ring of that 90’s pop rock sound made popular by bands like Third Eye Blind and Stroke 9. Other tracks like “Suffocating”, and “If I Told You” are the perfect fit for todays pop rock fans. “Closer”, the opening track on the album is one that sucks you in with it’s catchy guitar riffs and sing along lyrics. “Suffocating” is perhaps my favorite track along side “Stay Inside” both of which pour out everything Sound The Alarm are good at (catchy riffs, sing along lyrics, classic pop rock sound).
When it comes to summer albums its always good to mix something like Stay Inside in with your mix of other pop rock and cruising albums. The band shows a lot of talent for being young and you should expect to hear a lot more about them in the future.
Track Listing
1. Closer
2. Picture Perfect
