ex-chiodos frontman brandon bolmer premiered his new song, Ready (Cinematic Version) as an EDM/classical/heavy rock influenced solo project.
very interesting. i loved bolmer-headed chiodos [honestly, more than i liked craig owens or even craig owens in DRUGS], and i’m glad he’s making music now that his time with chiodos is done.
really interesting. i love that he has a vision for a maskarade [aka, a masquerade] ball as a live show. i could imagine that being a spectacular event.
for now though, listen for yourself and read a little on what bolmer’s been up to since he left chiodos. http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/interview_song_premiere_maskarade_ready_cinematic_version_on_life_after_chi

of mice & men’s new track from the upcoming 2-disc The Flood Reissue is below.
i’m a little torn about austin carlile. i can’t deny that he’s a great screamer, and he’s decidedly magnetic. people are drawn to him like they are craig owens… but carlile has a bit of baggage. he’s been kicked out of a few bands, and he just has too many questionable rumors going for him for me to really enjoy his work. i dunno. i don’t have a solid opinion on him i guess.
i first heard carlile at creation NW two years ago, where one of the event booths was cranking attack attack. i walked past the booth with my friends, then backtracked because the 10 seconds of stick stickly was so catchy i had to ask. but that was a long time ago.
but anyways. the video is here. the song is pretty solid.
]]>CHECK OUT THE RIDICULOUSLY SLOW LOADING @VIMEO CLIP THAT @CHIODOS JUST EMAILED OUT FEATURING CRAIGERY OWENS AND THE TRADEMARK CHIODOS C THAT MADE HIM A HOUSEHOLD NAME.
are you freaking kidding me. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE what he’s been doing with DRUGS [destroy rebuild until God shows, that is, not actual drugs. or maybe. i’m not one to judge.], but craig owens on home turf again now that brandon bolmer is out to pursue other things.
don’t get me wrong on this either, chiodos with brandon bolmer at the helm released one of the all-out STRONGEST post-hardcore albums i’ve ever heard. but craig is an entirely different beast. this is gonna be FREAKING SICK.

@twypoppunk super epic moment: i’m pretty sure dan campbell breaks a light bulb with his fist. this song has been the anthem of the last six months for me.
if you haven’t seen the fantastic new video for “came out swinging”, let me help. http://bit.ly/An3Fw4
