Knocked Loose - Blinding Faith https://youtu.be/eO8q_Q4lRC8 we NEED more hardcore like this!

Dirty Honey - Coming Home (Ballad of the Shire) https://youtu.be/gSdLI9tKg2k Why does EVERYONE try to be Zeplin? A ballad with LotR references? Its not bad though.

Sum 41 - Waiting on a Twist of Fate https://youtu.be/MjZxJ-GFrRA I mean… for a Sum 41 song it’s not bad…

Aaron Lewis - Made in China https://youtu.be/YVMw2BtR260 From his next solo record The Hill, out March 29. Just more uber conservativeness from ol’ Mr Lewis. Though this time he does showcase that amazing voice.

Atomic Life - Hit Me First https://youtu.be/9bvePU-jee0 Featuring members who have worked with Dillinger Escape Plan, Glassjaw and the Rivalry. Sounds like a more aggressive Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

ERB - Godzilla VS King Kong https://youtu.be/jhkBAKV1yMg NicePeter and EpicLLOYD go CG. always fun!

Moby X Anfisa Letyago - You & Me https://youtu.be/PN3thx9SGsw Moby sounding like its 1999 all over again. Not necessarily a bad thing. But not terribly great either.

Fantastic Four - Reed Richards will be the villain? The Universe this version of F4 comes from is set to be destroyed at the end of the movie, and it’s all Reed’s fault. Antonio Banderas no longer Galactus, now will be played by Javier Bardem. Terax, Silver Surfer, and possibly OTHER heralds of Galactus to appear.
