2009 - The Return of Alternative Rock Bands
H-O-O-R-A-Y!
What's that cheer for? Read on to find out.
While Mich has missed Vertical Horizon in action at the AsiaBeerFest recently, a new album is expected in July 2009. Its first single, "Save Me From Myself", was released on 10 May 2009. "Everything You Want", "You're A God" and "Best I've Ever Had" remain the band's most popular hits. (Aye to that!)
If you like alternative rock band Dishwalla, you'll be thrilled to know that its lead singer, J.R. Richards has released his debut solo album "A Beautiful End" on May 12th, 2009 on iTunes worldwide. Starting on May 26, "A Beautiful End" will be available for purchase and download worldwide through all other digital music services (Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon, AOL and more).
Over at the Switchfoot camp, a new album, entitled "Hello Hurricane", will be released in September 2009. Its lead singer, Jon Foreman, is responsible for lending his vocals to the movie, A Walk To Remember. The soundtrack "Someday We'll Know", a collaboration with Mandy Moore, has been played on airwaves till this day. (Mich listens to this song every single day. Its catchy tune is just right to kickstart the day.)
Green Day, in similar fashion, has just rolled out its eighth studio album, "21st Century Breakdown" on May 15, 2009. Green Day has sold over 22 million records in the United States. Hands up if you break out in song with youth-ridden glee when you hear "Basketcase" : Do you have the time / To listen to me whine? =) In 2004, Green Day enjoyed renewed popularity with "American Idiot" and Record of the Year, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
Providing a queer juxaposition is Matchbox Twenty who has been really quiet lately, with its last album, "Exile on Mainstream" on October 2, 2007. (Crikey!) Matchbox Twenty, originally Matchbox 20, has sold over 45 million albums worldwide from the releases of Yourself or Someone Like You, Mad Season, and More Than You Think You Are. To Mich, "Bent" is the real deal here. Never mind the fact that it was a yesteryear hit in 2000. The burning question is this - when will Matchbox Twenty have another go at an album like the rest? =(
