The Band For Speed Freaks



This techno band with anime awesomeness and speedy beats will keep even a speed freak on their toes. Nightcore takes songs that have already been writen and remixes them into ravetastic songs that pound into your head and get stuck there. With songs like Amore, Yeah Yeah Yeah, and Pinball they have made minds pulse all over the techno world.

They are more of an underground band than anything. They use tecnological voices and instruments for the most part. But then again, isn't that the point of techno?

Want A Good Hotel? Here's One!



Tokio Hotel is the name of a band formed by identical twins, Tom and Bill Kaulitz in 2001. Originally from Germany, this band of four has no idol, therefore they have no distinct sound. Their songs are all different and are all unique. Bill Kaulitz (front and center in picture) writes and composes most of their chart topping songs such as Monsoon, Scream, and Ready, Set, Go! from their American debut album 'Scream.'

Their first album, Schrei, brought them to the top in Germany. Durch Den Monsoon ("Through The Monsoon") was their first hit single from the album. Hits such as Schrei and Rette Mich soon followed. Their next release, Zimmer 483, was filled with many more heart stopping hits such as Ubers Ende der Welt (later released as "Ready, Set, Go!" in English), Spring Nicht ("Don't Jump"), and An deiner Seite (Ich Bin Da) ("By Your Side").

Tokio Hotel soon debuted in Europe and America with Scream, their first English album. Many teens and young adults fell over the band for having such amazing songs littering their albums. It was in 2009 that their latest English album, Humanoid, hit the shelves. With even greater songs and beats they won the hearts of many fans once again. With songs like Automatic, World Behind My Wall, and Dark Side of the Sun they made yet another masterpeice.

The album Humanoid was first released in Germany before being translated and released in English.

The band members include (L-R) Gustav Schafer, Bill Kaulitz, Tom Kaulitz, and Georg Listing.

The Killjoys Have Arrived as MCR

Finally! They're back, My Chemical Romance. Their new album (Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys) is filled with a new sound not heard on their previous works. Their other albums consisted of angsty sounds and haunting lyrics sung with Gerard Way's cut-my-heart-out voice. That's a compliment.

Their most well known album was Welcome To The Black Parade with tracks such as Teenagers, Mama, Dead!, and, of course, Welcome To The Black Parade. That was before Danger Days came out in 2010.


Gerard now sports bright red hair and sings about how 'we're all fucking wild.' Rolling Stones called it a pop sound. I disagree. You never hear Na Na Na or Party Poison on pop stations. Instead you hear them on AltNation on SERIOUS XM. Their new sound is obnoxious, but in an awesomely good way.


That's all I can say. Listen to the new album, it explains itself. Laterz for now.
