Only The Young Set To Release New Single
Only the Young have been making headlines in the small amount of time that they have been writing and recording together. Only The Young have been on several music related sites following the release of their first single “The Weekend,†and were recently mentioned in the NY Times in lieu of their attendance at the LG and Polaroid Beach House parties. Only the Young are currently releasing singles from their Hollywood Summer Sessions recording, and are launching their next single “Move from Innocence†in mid September. The band is expected to start shooting for a video podcast series set for an early October release that will continue bi-weekly.

Powerspace – The Kicks of Passion
Artist: Powerspace
Album: The Kicks of Passion
Label: Fueled By Ramen
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: July 31, 2007
Overall: 9.0
Music: 8.5
Lyrics: 8.5
Production: 9.5
Powerspace’s recently released album, The Kicks of Passion, is, for lack of a better word to describe a mostly indescribable band, phenomenal, especially considering this is the power pop band’s first full-length album. The album combines the upbeat, melodic qualities of pop and the modern-sounding quality of techno to create a refreshing, unique sound. Frontman Alec’s voice is wide-ranged as far as pitch, clear, and overall appealing. The instrumental music, guitar in particular, is very well written and meshes very well with the vocals and lyrics to create a very distinguishing sound. The optimistic sound that all of their songs, even those set out to express negative feelings, seem to carry, sets Powerspace apart from a lot of bands currently popular in the rock industry that seem to come off as more angst-filled. The lyrics on this album are clever and thoughtful, and thoroughly relatable and enjoyable. Some especially notable songs off of this album are “Amplifireâ€, “Prologue: Adam Beckettâ€, “Dancing in the Futureâ€, and “Right On, Right Now.†I heavily recommend this album to anyone interested in a very unique and equally likeable sound!

The Last Goodnight Album Details, Tour Dates
This week marks the release of, Poison Kiss, the debut album from The Last Goodnight. The band’s slinky grooves have been compared to Maroon 5 while the pop-rock songwriting smarts of lead singer Kurtis John brings to mind Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty. The band was signed by A&R heavyweight Jeff Blue who is also credited with the discovery of Linkin Park and Macy Gray among others. The music industry veteran championed their hook laden songs and went on to executive produce Poison Kiss which also features co-production work from Limp Bizkit’s DJ Lethal. The songs on the album run the stylistic gamut from R&B tinged rock to fragile ballads. Their debut single and video, “Pictures of You†has been embraced by Vh1 and even won MTV’s Battle of the Videos contest earlier this month. The song has also been included in the new season of Mtv’s hit show The Hills and was chosen by ABC in the commercial campaign for their hit drama Brothers and Sisters. The band has been touring the states with Rocco DeLuca & The Burden and is going to join American Idol’s Elliot Yamin on a co-headlining run in October.
Poison Kiss is out now on Virgin Records.
