Sex On Fire and It Has Risen to the Top of the Chart!!!
Kings of Leon has broke up the charts to climb up to No.1 in the Billboard Rock Albums this week. I've personally been rooting for them to get the top spot ever since i started listening to their "Only By Night" album since 2 months back.
Kings of Leon which consist of brothers Anthony "Caleb" Followill (vocals and guitar), Ivan "Nathan" Followill (drums, percussion and vocals) and Michael "Jared" Followill (bass guitar and vocals), with their cousin Cameron "Matthew" Followill (guitar and vocals) which hail from Nashville, Tennessee.
They have been around since 2003 with their breed of southern rock and psychedelic riffs. But they really broke the glasses with their latest album which is "Only By Night" and that album has been certified platinum in the United States by the RIAA for selling one million copies in less than a year after its release.
The album also have received a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 51st Grammy Awards with the single "Sex on Fire" receiving two nominations for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Rock Song.
Personally i really feel in love with the track "Sex on Fire". The song is just so haunting yet retro but still has the modern alternative feel. And their video is just simply amazing.
"Use Somebody" would be the second single which won't be strange to most people cause it has been on heavy rotation on any radio station in the world. With the haunting background echoes and melodramatic voice of Anthony's simply gives chills.
Overall i have to give a 2 thumbs up for "Only By Night". It's a must get album for all music lovers who loves some soul in their music.

Chevelle - Jars Single Music Review
Just found out about Chevelle's lastest single Jars. Gotta say I'm always an avid fan of them. Jars indeed has all the characteristics on the classic Chevelle's elements of simple riffs and power-packed power chords.
I do find the chorus a lil' less of the ummphh but once hearing it a couple of times, gotta say i have to take that notion back. Can't wait for the full length of their album releasing at 1st September titled Sci-fi Crimes.
Looking forwards to that. Below is a Youtube link to that song and the lyrics below, Enjoy!
Hold onto chance
Lest we bleed ourselves
Then save for the pets
They’re the loneliest
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
We can’t both become the same pawn
That’s made to fall
Oil that tastes like blood
Stole the summer scent
from me to you
You’re stabbing me through you
You’re stabbing you through him
And betting most of...
This world!!
We’ll add enough of the world
Steal from yourselves
It never felt so good
collect feed from their hand’s
Confused by opposites
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
Keep safe this earth
We can’t both become the same pawn
That’s made to fall
Oil that tastes like blood
Stole the summer scent
from me to you
You’re stabbing me through you
You’re stabbing you through him
And betting most of...
This world!!
We’ll add enough of the world (x2)
Feeling manic for a day
Depends on the trends
Depends on the surface
If the sun never sets
We can’t both become the same pawn
That’s made to fall
Oil that tastes like blood
Stole the summer scent
from me to you
You’re stabbing me through you
You’re stabbing you through him
And betting most of...
This world!!
We’ll add enough of the world
Is the main thing you’ll shout
Till the bitter end...
Into Jars

Selena Gomez Vs. Demi Lovato
It's seems just like yesterday where Boy bands Backstreet Boyz and N'Sync was like the latest in thing. Well, we all know...that season has way gone. Then come all the Nu-metal bands like Linkin Park and Deftones. Thank goodness, those band still manage to survive but only those loyal followers will still go "Heineken Arrrrgghhhh" over them.
Then, NOW... as we all know, there's this excessive hype over teen-hardly-reach-puberty singers. All started with our very own Ms.Goody-2-shoes Britney and then later move on with Christina Aguilera. Den later on Disney catches the hype and capitalized on that.
Then Mickey Mouse gave us Lizzie McGuire~ and hence, the whole Hilary Duff craze was there. But we all know she's now all grown up and horny already. Then before you know it, *Poof* Mickey Mouse gave us High School Musical. And all the gurly gurls are going nuts of Zac Efron and all the boyz went googling for Vanessa Hudgen's "wholesome" pics. XD
Then Jonah Bros came along. But then, what about the female products of Disney? Yeah, then we have Hannah Montana!!! Arrghhh!!! Miley Cyrus craze was like super ridiculous. But for Miley, damn those cash just keep rolling in. Okay after Miley then what? What's the latest female ass on the line next? Don't fret, cause their latest addition to the latest teen-ass-craze is
Yeaps... It's Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato!
Well, yeah... She's cute but compare to our next contender...
Ms. Demi Lavato... which we all know from 'Camp Rock'... I think she's way way more awesome compared to that latina-wanna-be-err-soon-to-be-slut...
Coz from my honest opinion, Demi might be able to polish up herself to be the next Kelly Clarkson but for Selena??? Just another Hilary Duff/Vanessa Hudgens fling... They will just come and go...
Don't agree with me? Just compare their latest single from them two... You be the judge...
Selena Gomez - Tell Me Something
Demi Lovato - Here We Go Again
My vote??? Demi Lovato 1 Selena Gomez 0
