Bobaflex break out of small town West Virginia to unleash a gritty autobiographical album that will course blood and adrenaline through the veins of all who listen to it, especially the kids who hail from dirt towns.
On October 30th Bobaflex will release their sophomore album, Tales From Dirt Town, on TVT records. Musically, Bobaflex decided to take things back to their roots on the new album. The band wanted to keep their metal edge and imbue it with more harmonies, melody, and singing, along the lines of Gun N’ Roses. Tales From Dirt Town is like a bittersweet love letter to working class culture and blue collar yet redneck upbringing. With determination and resolve, only good things can come to Bobaflex, who shine a spotlight on the people of dirt towns with Tales From Dirt Town.

If you buy anything this week buy Beirut
First of all I am shocked that I have not posted more Beirut posts in this blog. They are one of my favorites bands and Beirut's new release "The Flying Club Cup" is by far, hands down, the best CD in 2007.
If you have not heard of Beirut check out this live performance (via LaBlogotheque Blog)
Check out 7 songs from the new album live on YouTube

KRS One is crazy
AllHipHop recently did an interview with KRS One where he claims Kanye West is not hip hop because of this clothing style, white shades and big video productions...claiming "we don't wear white shades out here, we are not all into fashion.."
Oh really...I seem to remember some pretty elaborate borderline costumes in old school hip hop.
"From the Screen to Your Stereo II" Album Reviews
If you are wondering whether or not to buy this album..check out these reviews
"From the "Screen to Your Stereo II" is a great follow up to the band's 2006 release "Coming Home," and just goes to show why New Found Glory continues to be one of the strongest bands on the rock circuit for the past 10 years." Review
"I hold cover albums to a higher standard than albums with original material, but even if I didn't, New Found Glory's new album is sub-par. From the Screen to Your Stereo part II is simply a disappointment all around." Review
"Following the movie industry's method of using reusing old ideas, New Found Glory has recycled its own formula. However, unlike most sequels, this one is good, if not better than the original." Review
"If you have never heard of New Found Glory, get this album. There is no better way to fall in love with a band than to hear them re-invent some of your favorite songs in a way that is both respectful and energizing." Review
