April 23, 2010 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Many of COOL TOUR’s notable artists had a few words to say about this exciting new festival! “After taking last summer off to focus on writing new material, we’ll be back out this year in support of our latest album, THE POWERLESS RISE,” states AS I LAY DYING guitarist Phil Sgrosso. “We’ve got a killer line up of bands that share the same passion for heavy music and putting on a great show every night for the fans.  You don’t want to miss a tour as good as this.”

“We’re looking forward to get out on the COOL TOUR this summer,” states UNDEROATH guitarist Tim McTague. “2010 has been a transitional year for UNDEROATH, and we are looking forward to putting our new direction in motion.” McTague also adds, “COOL TOUR is the perfect place to come out and show everyone what UNDEROATH of the future will sound like.”

Tommy Giles Rogers, vocalist of BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME is beyond thrilled. “Somehow, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, the un-coolest band on the planet, is part of a tour called COOL TOUR. Even though this will not make us become cool, we are stoked to be a part of the tour. Pumped to get back around the U.S. and melt your fucking faces off.”

Booking agent Tim Borror of The Agency Group had some final words to say about COOL TOUR. “To say I’m excited about COOL TOUR this summer would sound too plain and generic.  I’m more than excited; it’s my honor to work with the people putting this thing together behind the scenes and my honor to work with these bands.  I already have great relationships with a few of these bands and I’m at the beginning of starting great relationships with the rest of them.  Good times with good people making great music. Fuckin’ A, the COOL TOUR!”

Between The Buried And Me – The Anatomy Of

July 25, 2006 By Kortney Ehrhart Leave a Comment

Between The Buried And Me

Artist: Between The Buried And Me
Album: The Anatomy Of
Label: Victory Records
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: June 13, 2006

Overall: 7.0
Lyrics: 7.4
Music: 7.0
Production: 6.8

The first thing that surprised me about this album after putting it in and giving it a listen was the fact that all of these songs were covers. Most would ask why do a cover album when you can put out another great original album. For me, “The Anatomy Of” showed off just how versatile Giles’ voice can get. His voice mimicks originals so well on some of these covers that you could swear it was the original singer. However, some people are put off the fact that why listen to something so just like the other when you’ve heard it before anyway. By putting this album out Between The Buried And Me are introducing their fans to older bands, older songs, and just wear some of these styles of music were introduced. For fans who have listened to the original songs and bands, well you’re in for a treat. This album is packed with vocal twists, acoustics, soulful singing, hardcore choruses, and an all around unoriginal original sound.

Tracklisting
1. Blackened (Metallica)
2. Kickstart My Heart (Motley Crue)
3. Day I Tried To Live (Soundgarden)
4. Bicycle Race (Queen)
5. Three Of A Perfect Pair (King Crimson)
6. Us And Them (Pink Floyd)
7. Geek U.S.A. (Smashing Pumpkins)
8. Forced March (Earth Crisis)
9. Territory (Sepultura)
10. Change (Blind Melon)
11. Malpractice (Faith No More)
12. Little 15 (Depeche Mode)
13. Cemetery Gates (Pantera)
14. Colorblind (Counting Crows) – Bonus Track
