    For what its worth, I would buy up more Stagehands songs in an instant.

    Would buy any Stagehands or anything in the style of The Silent City, so definitely hoping there is something to nudge and wink at a bit further down the line.

    Nothing about Stagehands tonight, but we do have three new previews:

    Preview Videos:
    We Butter The Bread With Butter - Superföhn Bananendate (Metal, 2010)
    Bright Midnight - La Minuit (Rock, 2010)
    Daas Bosh - Eternal Divine Angel Death (RB3 version) (Metal, 2010)

    Just like with 2x versions, we don't do RB3 versions by default. And Daas Bosh may not be the most in need of a RB3 version, but if an artist wants a song to get revised (and there's anything to revise), we'll gladly do it. So if you haven't picked up Eternal Divine Angel Death... don't. There's a new one coming.

    This type of music isn't usually my taste, but I recently purchased the song "Don't Eye Me Like A Child" on a whim (which is something I don't do often, especially for RBN songs), and I liked it. This song sounds pretty good as well (even though I'll admit that their songs do always sound a bit off-kilter; I don't mind, though). I'll definitely pick it up.

    Might be the mix of jazz influence on the vocals/drums and new wave/post-punk on everything else. It's not a very... standard blend.

    Today, I'm going to set a personal land speed record for announcements- reveal in the morning, upload in the afternoon, video in the evening.

    The track: "In My Head" by Swound!. (Exclamation mark required.)

    If Weezer were British and stuck to their original style... they wouldn't be Weezer. Weezer is from California and has had several stylistic shifts. However, that description works well enough for Swound!- a literal band of brothers doing no-frills, hook-riddled power pop. Their new album releases March 5th, and we're expecting to have "In My Head" in the store for the release date. We're also expecting it to be our first all-tier-0 track; the band has described themselves as Not Dragonforce.

    Very cool.

    Wow they really do sound like British Blue/Pinkerton Weezer. And I heard a key solo. I will be buying this. Awesome.
    That video was cool too.

    The solo is the entirety of the keys part, though. Was a little disappointed to find that out, but there's been less put out there.

    Hmm. I was hoping it had some barely audible sustains but I'm still getting it.

    Any vids of those jazz song yet?
