It’d been a long time since I’d been to a good old-fashioned rock show, let alone how long it’d been since I’d last seen This Providence so I was a bit apprehensive to be in that setting again, unsure of whether I would feel the same or if I’d grown out of that scene.
In honor of Patrick Stump’s 28th birthday, I’d like to dedicate MusicMurmur’s first Flashback Friday to when I saw him over a year ago at The Hotel Utah Saloon in San Francisco.
Desiderium by Fighting The Villain
Please go check out my good friends’ band, they work so hard to make amazing music for people to listen to. It’ll definitely be worth the time.
Girl-fronted bands are often subjected to unfair comparisons, perhaps the most popular being that the rest are merely ripping off the most popular one at the time, and there is a lot of potential in Bay Area band Fighting The Villain to set themselves apart!

William Beckett tweeted today that he is heading to a secret location to record a second solo EP. You can see his tweet below:
PropertyOfZack is a huge fan of The Forecast, and the band has officially released their new album, Everybody Left. The band was kind enough to write-up a new Track-By-Track guide for PropertyOfZack for fans to dive into the deeper meanings behind each of the songs. Read up and enjoy!
Everybody Left
This was one of the first songs I wrote for the new record. We used to have a practice space back in Peoria that was in a barn on a little lake out in the sticks that we shared with our buddies. We would always be hanging out and practicing, maybe having the occasional drink or two… A lot of great memories were made in that space and I wanted to pay my respects to that.
Clear Eyes Full Hearts
I wrote this song after I had gone back home a few months after I had moved for a weekend. Being away and coming back really made me notice some things about a couple of my friends that I never saw before and it really bummed me out.
Tony gets real metal with the drum fill at the end, and I love it.
Like A Habit
I was trying to channel a little Promise Ring “Very Emergency” on the chorus and a little Moneen on the bridge. Might be one of my favorite bridge’s we have ever written. This song came together better than I imagined when it was first written. The demo was a little sketchy….
Skyline
This song is a little older. We originally wrote it a few years ago and then forgot about it. We pulled it back out, dusted it off, gave it a little AC/DC treatment in the verses, and boom it felt like a whole new song.
Sing It Out
This was actually the first song written for the record. I like to think of this as part 2 of “And We All Return To Our Roots”. This song kind of got me out of the haze my brain was in musically. It kick-started the engine for the new record and I think I tried to reflect that in the lyrics
Last Stand // The Forecast
Some things have to change,
We gotta start our lives like everyone.
Gotta ease the pain,
Stay up through the break of dawn.
I’ve liked The Forecast for years, and it pleases me to see that they’ve stood strong all these years instead of giving up like other bands might have.
Mission Control - Charlotte Martin
Charlotte Martin is a woman of versatile musical talents, and her Hiding Places EP illustrates that fact beautifully.
his Providence recently performed an acoustic version of another one of their new songs from their Brier EP, “You’re Mine”, at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
we didn’t move on, we didn’t change. we didn’t move on we just moved away.
so i leave you in love.
Gold Motel has just announced a release date of July 3rd and the tracklisting for their forthcoming self-titled second album!
