Strange Young Things out of Phoenix, Arizona packs a powerful punch!

Like an illicit affair with a kinky lover, Strange Young Things has got a hold on me! Reminding me of everything I love in the blues, soul, and rock of a Black Crowes or Burning Brides live set, and all the energy and heart of a raucous punk show. Though they’ve been together and performing in the valley for many years, this year marks their major breakout in the local music scene. With a southwest tour in the works to promote their new album titled “Look What They’ve Done to My Champagne Music”,  I expect you’ll be hearing even more buzz about them blowing folks away wherever they go!

Strange Young Things is made up of Corey Gloden (Guitar, Vocals), Richard Polmans (Drums, Percussion), Patrick Kelly (Guitar, Vocals). They frequently play venues across Arizona and California, and put on a show that is larger than life everywhere they go.

Strange Young Things has just finished up in the studio and is set to release their 1st full length album this coming fall with a huge blowout CD Release party at Last Exit in Tempe, AZ on September 6th. The release party will also feature local celebs The Earps, Tramps and Thieves, and Dry River Yacht Club. For more details on the party, where you can find their CD, and other upcoming appearances, please visit the Strange Young Things on MySpace

The Jonas Brothers are a hit with the new album A Little Bit Longer

I recently got the new Jonas Brothers CD titled “A Little Bit Longer” and I love it! I’ve had it for two days, and i know all the songs by heart. All the songs are more mature, even though most are about love and breakups and such, like every other song out there lately. But the songs are good.

Like the song “A little bit longer” sung by Nickolas Jonas, the youngest Jonas brother, is one of the most amazing songs I’ve ever heard. It’s about his having diabetes but its kind of written like a love song. Also, their song “Shelf” is very catchy, and yes, it’s a love song. Honestly, all of their songs are, or seem to be love songs. But they are all presented in a different way. The most well known song on their new album is “Burnin’ Up” Featuring Big Rob. It’s not on my list my favorite Jonas Brothers songs, but i do like it. This new album is totally, one hundred percent amazing. I like how they are kind of stepping out of that Disney Channel scene, and kind of making a name for themsleves.

Here’s a Jonas Fun Fact:The whole album was recorded on their tour bus! Isn’t that awesome?! I was surprised, yet not. I mean, they have been on tour non-stop for the past like 6 or 7 months. But anyway, I give two Thumbs up for “JB” and if I had more hands, I would give them three thumbs up for their new album!

The Jonas Brothers are currently on tour with Camp Rock star, Demi Lovato, and Punk Princess, Avril Lavigne! The concert tour is called the “Burnin’ Up Tour” be sure to check it out, I bet the concerts are gonna rock!
