The White Stripes RULE!

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

The White Stripes only consist of two members, Jack White (vocals/guitar) and Meg White (drums), and that’s all the band needs to make it in the crazy music industry. The band formed in 1997 and has been rocking out ever since. With their debut self-titled album, the band has a variety of rock and blues tone that fans can’t get enough of. Their fame only continued to get greater with their second record release, White Blood Cells, in 2001. The band made a career-boosting appearance on The Late Night Show with David Letterman that proved to the world the White Stripes were making it big time. The band’s success continued to prosper putting on a great show at the MTV Music Awards. In 2005, the White Stripes released their latest album, Get Behind Me Satan. Currently the band is on tour and has released a few singles off their record since then.

Blink 182 Rocks My Socks Off!

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Blink 182 is one of my favorite bands for a million reasons! They first self-released their EP, Fly Swatter, to later release their first album, Buddha, in 1994. The band really started to get noticed with their debut album, Dude Ranch, in 1997. “What’s My Age Again,” “All of the Small Things,” “Adam’s Song,” and “Dammit” were hit singles released off the album. Blink 182’s album Enema of the State sold over four million copies, putting the band on top of every chart known to man.

When it didn’t seem like the band could do any better, in February of 2005, the group retired for a while to spend more time with their families.

One of My Favorite Bands: Jimmy Eat World

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Jimmy Eat World first hit the music scene in the mid-’90s and haven’t left the music industry yet. The band formed in 1994, consisting of Jim Adkins (vocals/guitar) and Zach Lind (drums), who are childhood friends, Tom Linton (vocals/guitar) and Mitch Porter (bass). Throughout the ’90s Jimmy Eat World released numerous singles that hit the top of the charts. In 1998, the band came out with their second album, Clarity, which did very well worldwide. Upon MTV and VH1 mentioning the band, their success rose to outstanding heights. Jimmy Eat World’s album Bleed American, had title changed to Jimmy Eat World after the tragic events of September 11th would end up selling 1.3 million copies in the United States. The band’s latest album release, Stay on My Side Tonight, hit stores in 2005.
