The Drills

The Drills are an amazing band from Las Angeles, highlighted by the always sexy Phil X from frettedamericana.  Go check out their youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/frettedamericana.  Their videos are always amazing and it's always fun to watch Phil X dominate some old school guitars.
If you ever wondered what a band that dominates rock the way it should be dominated sounds like, listen to The Drills. 
The Drills combine hilarious relationship humor into hard rocking, headbanging awesomeness.  If you ever had a thought that a girl/guy was crazy, this music will blow your mind.  Not to mention their logo...

Is that not the greatest band logo you've ever seen?  I want one of their shirts. 
   If you're looking for some songs, look no further...I've gotcha. 1) Beautiful Apartment 2) I wish my beer was as cold as your heart 3) Middle Finger 4) Air Hockey Champion of the World.
Each of those songs is straight to the point of awesomeness with both the lyrics and the instruments. I'll occasionally be in a bad mood and I'll go on youtube and watch Phil X dominate some guitars and simply be crazy and I always get happier after seeing him play.
Go get some Drills in ya, and I'll see ya later.

The Orkids

This band has changed my life recently.  I still remember the first time I ever heard of them.  I was watching their music video of "What is it with me?", which by the way is an amazing song, go listen to it, and I immediatly fell in love witht his band.  Whenever I hear their music, I am often times nastalgic about the past, and optimistic about the future.  It's a very bizarre thing how this band makes me feel, but go listen to them yourself and see how they effect you. 
This band combines sexy techno, old school seductive lyrics, enticing guitar and never ending catchy beats.  There is also some strange combination of punk and rock, and something else I simply can't describe it.  All I know is, this band is awesome. 
Songs you HAVE TO LISTEN TO: "What is it with me"  "Told you so"  "Paper Dolls"  "Impetus".  O yes.  These songs should jumpstart your interest to a point of opsession like I had with them.
I met their lead singer, Sandra Gallardo at the 40 watt about a week ago, and she is simply pleasant and hillarius.  Her new haircut was absoultely amazing, and she rocks it so well.  I didn't have the chance to meet any other members of the band, but I have heard nothing but great things about them, and if they are any thing like Sandra, I'm sure that being around this band at all would be a great opportunity to make some epic friends.
Definitely check out their facebook, and I'm sure they have a myspace(If that's still around), and support them all you can.  Now, time to go study for my finals...later
