Driving East – The Future Of The Free World Is Riding On This One

February 16, 2008 By Chase Casillas Leave a Comment

de.jpg

Artist: Driving East
Album: The Future Of The Free World Is Riding On This One
Label: The Militia Group
Purchase: Itunes
Release Date: January,15 2007

Overall: 7.0
Music: 7.0
Lyrics: 6.5
Production: 7.0

Before I start I have to be completely honest I had really high expectations for Driving East and their first full length on The Militia Group. A label who spawned the careers of bands like Rufio, Cartel, and many others. So it goes without saying Driving East have huge shoes to fill.

Well the shoe fits, but there is plenty of room to grow. Driving East has created a very cookie cutter version album of what pop-punk in this day and age is. Not to say that it is bad in any way, as there are some gems on this album such as the song “Somebody Get Me Out Of Here”. The song itself is probably the strongest one on the album as far as its composition, and lyrically. My big complaint on this record is the sound quality of some songs are too consistent with the others. Overall it is a good effort from the band, and I am expecting big things from them in the future.

If your down with this you’ll be down with..

Autopilot Off
Mayday Parade
MXPX

Track Listing
1. Hey
2. Get Back
3. Come On, Come On
4. Sing While You Can
5. Somebody Get Me Out Of Here
6. Baby (Just A Little Bit)
7. Backseat
8. Pick Up The Pieces
9. Blue Eyes
10. Away

Copeland To Release B-Sides Album

September 19, 2007 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Copeland is gearing up to release a B-Sides album on November 27th. You can read an update from the band below.

So it’s time you learned some details about our upcoming b-sides record.

The title of the record is “Dressed Up and In Line”.

The idea is this – we’re taking rare and unreleased recordings from the last 7 years and revisiting the original tracks. All of them are going to be re-mixed and re-mastered. Many of them are going to be updated a bit with added strings, vocals, keys, and guitars. Some will be altered more than others. The goal is to have a cohesive album that can be listened to as a whole, rather than just a hodgepodge of songs (can you use the word “hodgepodge” in an official press release? I don’t know…but I did…twice).

In the end, we’ll have a DOUBLE DISC collection of rarities, b-sides, EP tracks, acoustic, and alternate versions. We’re going to package it with a booklet full of old photos and the stories behind the recordings. James Likeness is doing the layout, so you can be sure it will look very stylish.

We’ve already started remixing some of the tracks, but we have lots more work to do.

Our old buddies at the Militia Group are releasing this for us. You can expect it to hit stores on Nov. 27th.

More news to come…
