AAF is exciting. I wasn't counting on more Noah Engh. "Buy You a House" was one of the biggest bargains I've gotten on RBN. Just great stuff.

Mastodon - Megladon

http://youtu.be/Dyoqq9Yakto

Mastodon is an American metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1999. The band comprises bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist Bill Kelliher and drummer Brann Dailor. They have released four full-length albums to date, expanding their musical borders from early raw sludge riffs to later psychedelic multi-layered songs, yet maintaining progressive style with unusual time signatures and odd instrumentation.

Conflicted - Victor(ia)

http://youtu.be/dX78K37SeN0

Hailing from Toronto, Canada - CONFLICTED create a truly unique, category-defying, genre-expanding modern progressive/power metal sound via a combination of seasoned technical ability, a fervency for volume, and a passion for power. CONFLICTED is fronted by the astounding four-octave vocals of singer JASON ORTON who consistently delivers pitch-perfect tones rich with both ferocity and emotion. In perfect contrast, neo-classically influenced guitarist MARK OWEN possesses a fiery, virtuosic stranglehold on the fretboard. Supported by the symphonic atmospheres created by RON DE COSTE's masterful keyboard work, Bassist JOHN KOLODZIEJ commands the bottom end with complimentary melodic undertones while Drummer COREY STOLL delivers a percussive onslaught with seasoned precision.

In less than a year The Black Beverly Heels have had their music
featured on the MTV Movie Awards, have a song coming out for the ROCK
BAND video game franchise, played as the house band at The (infamous)
Redwood in downtown Los Angeles, were signed with Independent record
label Rankoutsider Records, found their new manager, the savvy James
Toth and lastly recorded an awesome 5 song debut album. The album was
recorded and produced by Bradley Cook who’s credits include Queens of
The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Slash and Isaac Hayes. The band is
comprised of four elements, Michael Van London on guitars and vocals,
Eligh Macias on bass and vocals, Yuko Sano on Keytar and vocals and
Ryan McGuire on drums but all elements form as one single blast of
rock n roll. Live performance is where The Heels really shine as a
band, with over the top stage antics and a larger than life
personality. Check out the website for show dates, come get your dose

You guys do a great job with the band descriptions or what you might call it. I is a great compliment to the videos. As a consumer, I enjoy getting to know the band before I hear them. Thanks!

I've tweeted and blogged about it but I will repeat here. I'm so excited for "Megalodon". It is easily one of my favorite songs from Leviathan.
