How come all the great band names from Texas?? Check out Texas’ own This Will Destroy You.

Try a little less cinematic Explosions in the Sky, a less metal Pelican and more epic … Trail of Dead without vocals. I totally dig them. I think you will too.

here’s a message from Detektivbyrån:

Our debut album, “Wermland”, is now ready. The record is by far the best work we have done. It consists of 14 brand new songs, all of which we have put our hearts, souls and minds in. We are really pleased and more than eager to show you what we have come up with. Since we just can’t wait to show you the new stuff, we have decided to give away two songs for free download. The songs are: “Om Du Möter Varg” and “Neonland”. You will find the links to the songs further down in this message.

The album is available for pre-order. If you pre-order it you will get a signed copy in your mailbox upon the release date, the 3rd of September. Go to HERE to place your order.

“Wermland” is recorded, mixed, mastered, financed and released by ourselves. It’s the third release on our own label Danarkia.
Pre-ordering the album is by far the best way to support us and our work.

k. So I received an email regarding a political survey. below is what it said. feel free to do it. or not..

The purpose of this survey is to examine how people think and feel about the political issues, parties, and candidates in the upcoming election. In the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about two political candidates, John McCain and Hillary Clinton. We are very interested in how individuals that find information on the web think about politics, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. In total, the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous and you can skip any questions you do not wish to answer.
