Im writing about one of my favourite japanese bands this week its quite hard to write cause i dont know alot about them because they are not that well known but i will write what i can. the members of the band are Kaworu(Vocals) Shagrath(guitar) Teru(Lead Guitar) Daiki(Bass) and Uli(Drums). they formed in 2002 theyre first single as far as im aware was kyukese which has a very unusual video it sees them all dressed as sort of castlevania(game) like clothes i.e vampires headless ghouls etc. the band have a mini album and a full album titled the best album the band is now split, only because a terrible car accident that happened in 2005 all members are alive but some have lingering injuries the bands injuries are as follows daiki - a few bruises injured lungs required surgery. Teru - several injuries healed with time. Uli - two fractured legs required half a year rehabilitation. Shagrath - skull injuries required surgery worst injuries of all members and finally kaworu who didnt require hospitilisation(bad spelling) he only had superficial injuries. but recently the band reformed for one last concert there last show which was released on dvd, i have it and it is a really really great show i would reccomend watching it also teru the guitarist has been in 2 new bands recently one is called hizaki grace project which means 2 the best japanese guitarists in my oppinion hizaki and teru are in the same band and theres also versailles which is really a supergroup it alsos has hizaki and teru on guitar aswell as the other band lareines vocallist .so thats all i have on aikaryu but here are 2 videos of theres for you 2 watch there videos are very fun and unique. You can download there mini album and my fave single from the downloads section. And check out there myspace here

Escape The Fate
This band i've known about for quite a while. but i realised not many other people might have so i will write about them, they are from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA and they are called Escape The Fate. They are a Post-Hardcore band according to wikipedia but i would say they are a sleaze band or glam metal either way its good stuff, they currently have an album and an ep out the album Dying is your latest fashion was released on september 26th 2006 on epitaph records, i have the album myself and for a long time it was all i was listening to i can honestly say there isnt a bad song on the album, i havent heard the first ep yet though that is called theres no sympathy for the dead although im sure it would be good. the bands current line up is Ronnie Radke(Vocals) who also for a short time in 2006 left the band just before the album was released but later rejoined, Bryan "Monte" Money(Guitar, Backing Vocals), Max Green(Bass, Backing Vocals) and Robert Ortiz(Drums) currently the band are in the process of making there second full length album and is expected to be out next year and the first song i heard of theres was "not good enough for the truth in cliche" its so catchy and i played it that much my friends where sick of hearing it. Check it on there myspace here. You can get dying is your latset fashion from downloads section. i will post the video so u can judge for youself heres a couple of videos for you to enjoy.

All Time Low
this first post is about the band from maryland, america called All Time Low the bands genre is pop-punk, i know i was a bit hesitant as soon as i heard pop but there isn't much pop there to be honest they have really catchy songs with good lyrics, a few songs i would reccomend are remembering sunday because it shows lead singer Alex Gaskarths range and also features Juliet Simm from the band automatic Loveletter, also coffee shop soundtrack is a great song one of there first songs that got them recognised. The band consists of Alex Gaskarth,Jack Barakat,Zack Merrick and Rian Dawson.
