hey, it’s me, Osprey here. I don’t know if many people here are fans of post-punk music but one post punk/post-hardcore band that I am a fan of is 30 Seconds to Mars. They burst onto the scene with their 2006 breakthrough album A Beautiful Lie with a song that you may remember called The Kill.

I never thought they were that different from other bands of their genre until just recently when a single off their upcoming album This Is War [in stores December 8th] came out. The single is called Kings and queens and other then screamo as much of their earlier music has been the screams in this song are full of passion and you can feel them building up instead of coming out of nowhere.

The new song is reminding me constantly of the rock icon U2 in the lead guitar and the vocals except with a punk edge. instead of your basic screamo and post-punk/hardcore the new song will reach to fans of genres from pop-punk to soft rock.

As long as I’m talking about music I might as well mention that me and my friend are starting a band. I’ll be on guitar and he’ll be on drums. Until we get more members we can’t really play many songs. For now we’re just going to kind of hang out and come up with riffs and beats.
