MGMT

MGMT is a American psychedelic rock band. MGMT first went by the name of Managment, but that name was already taken by another band so they shortened it to MGMT. MGMT is a popular band that had made a scene on the billbards only a few times, but is very well known. MGMt last number one was in May of 2010, with congradulations. Congraddulations to me is about the fame and money that they have acuired over the years of their music. Congradulations alot different from there other music. Fans say that Congradulations is MGMT attempt to get fans to veer from there songs that they became popular with and be more exposed to everything they can do.

Breathe Carolina

Breathe Carolina is a band from Denver Colorado. That consists of two members, David Schmitt and Kyle Even. They are considered an eletric rock dou. Breathe Carolina only has 3 albums and 5 music videos. Breathe Carolina was made from a dream that Schmitt had when he was only in 9th grade. They started from a for fun garge band that later had their own Myspace page. The first year the page was up it gained 10,000 music veiws and the second year it gained more then 30million. One of Breathe Caolinas first records had the song called "Don't forget: to lock the front door" which is my favorite song by this band.

Shwayze

Shwayze isn't really a band with a lot of members. Shwayze and Cisco Adler usually do their music solo and sometimes features bands in his music. Shwayze got his career in music from a random freestyle at a night club in California.
My favorite song from swayzee is called buzzin. Buzzin Is a great song that I can relate to. Another great song from Shwayze is called get you home.

Incubus

Incubus is a good rock band that has been around sense 1991. When the band was formed some of the members were even enrolled in high school. Incubus didn't really have instant fame, they always opened for bands like Korn and 311. They weren't a known band until 1997.
My favorite Incubus song by far is Warning. The song is about a successful girl who let life slip through her fingers, by not taking advantages of the opportunities given to her. In the song it says 'She woke in the morning, she know that life had passed her by'. The whole point of the song is the following lyrics that tell you to never let life ass you by.

Rise Against

Rise Against is one of my favorite bands. Rise Against is classified as more of a Rock/Alternative band. their newest album is perhaps my favorite. It features some good songs such as "Satellite", and "Make it stop". "Satellite" is having a game plan for life and having the balls to fulfill it, in my opinion.

"Hero of war" and "Swing life away" are this bands most popular songs. I guaranteed at some point in time in high school you have heard "Swing Life away". "Swing life away" is Rise Against most popular song and defiantly put them on the market, but if you explore more into this band they have a lot more good music.

All Time Low

All Time low is a great band to listen to because of their wide variety of music. Their newest popular song is called Time Bomb. I enjoy this song because it talks about his connection to someone when we were a kid and how it was like a "Time bomb destined to explode."


'Oh, on a wire, we were dancing
Two kids, no consequences
Pull a trigger without thinking
There's only one way down this road'


That is my favorite stanza to this song. My favorite song by All Time Low is remembering Sunday. It’s also one of this band’s oldest songs and most popular to in dept. listeners. The songs is about how hard broken a guy is and all he wants is his girl back. In the song it talks about how 'she doesn’t believe in love, but he is determined to call her bluff'. I think he is very devoted to this girl and all he wants is her back. Later on in the song he talks about how he is asking neighbors and dispersedly searching for her. At the end of the song the girl he has been looking for cuts in and says that she is at home in the clouds. The song ends and I leaves you to wonder if they girl he talks about marring is dead and he finally comes to realization.
I would classify All Time Low as an Alternative band.
