Ocean Grid (2013)


Ocean Grid
Ocean Grid are a post-hardcore, metalcore band formed in January 2013 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It's been fairly difficult for me to find information on these guys, and believe me, I have tried. In fact, I spoke to one of their vocalists, Andrew Isler to clear things up, but then right before I wrote this review, somehow all the messages were deleted! *sigh*
So, I apologize in advance if I missed any info out.

The band consists of:
Andrew Isler - Vocals
Dustin Kidwell - Vocals
Brad Kaufman - Guitar
Danny Daugherty - Guitar
Greg Gonzales(or Donald Allen on here) - Bass
Zak Nova - Drums


So far, they have an EP called Ambitions;
1. "Intro" - 1:45
2. "Resilience" - 3:29
3. "Ambitions" - 3:15
4. "Run from the Vices" - 3:43
5. "Second Chances" - 3:52
6. "A Life Worth Living" - 4:31

and they have two singles;

1. "Words to Live By" - 3:24
2. "Mind Over Monsters" - 3:55

which were both officially released in September 2014.

Now, onto the actual review! Personally, I enjoy listening to Ocean Grid. Alongside sounding great, their music also sends great messages and not only that, from what I can tell their band members are very friendly. Their most recent song, Mind Over Monsters, is definitely my favourite. On their Facebook page, they actually posted it in honour of Suicide Awareness Day, which I think is an amazing thing to do. They've so far been very successful, especially considering they aren't even two years old yet.
Just check them out on YouTube or on ReverbNation and see what you think of them.

I don't really have much else to say, but give 'em a go and see what you think.
Tell me what you think! Who do you think we should do a band review on next?

P.S. Really sorry about how long this one took. I meant to do it over a month ago :(

Flashback Friday

Flashback Friday!

Hey people, what's up? The Elf has been grinding my ass to do this post for the past month 'cause she's evil and I'm lazy. So here it goes;


 Ed, Edd n Eddy
This was my favourite show growing up. It's all about 3 dudes trying to make enough money to buy a really, really large jawbreaker, that all the other kids in their cul-de-sac seem to have. To get this jawbreaker they come up with random schemes to scam the other kids out of money, but they never seem to work. Personally I love this show so much, 'cause I can relate to it... kinda... I mean, I was always doing things to make a quick dollar and, like these guys, it never worked. You should go check out this show if you haven't already! If your a 90's kid you probably have, though. It's amazing and I know it will always be a special part in my childhood.

So to re-cap, Ed, Edd n Eddy was a great show from Cartoon Network that should come back.
It's original run was 10 years long and it's definitely better than any show on there at the moment, in my opinion.
So what's your favourite show from your childhood? And what should I do next week? Sweet as! Have a good one dudes and dudettes!

Seven Nation Army - Glitch Mob Remix

Song Of The Month!


Seven Nation Army Remix
By The Glitch Mob

Oh my god, this song makes my ears have babies. Well, not literally, but you get the idea. This is one of my favourite songs, originally by the White Stripes, but remixed by the Glitch Mob. Another one of my favourite bands. It's more of an electric/dubstep kind of genre, compared to the White Stripe's rock version of the song.

After an hour of running/walking, this song makes you feel like an assassin, or a superhero running to your next target and doesn't everyone think that's one of the best feelings to have?
I think so, so check it out!
