" The Double Threat Of Danger"- Miss Fortune ft Tyler Carter

Song: The Double Threat Of Danger
Album: A Spark To Believe
Artist: Miss Fortune (featuring Tyler Carter of Issues)
Genre: Post- Hardcore
Rating: ****

(I'm going to start of by saying I fully intended to review the acoustic version of this song that is on their album. I had never heard the original version but now I have heard it I prefer it to the one I knew prior.)

Miss Fortune are a fairly new band. Their debut album 'A Spark To Believe' (which I amazing, please go buy it right now!) came out in May. I heard of them when their single 'Interstate 44' was on the Sumerian (their record label) sample CD on the front of RockSound magazine earlier this year. I immediately fell in love with it and couldn't wait for the album.

Tyler Carter, guest vocalist on the song, is one of the lead singers in the metalcore band Issues. He is 22 and has previously sung in A Path Less Traveled and Woe, Is Me. He has done guest vocals for Hands Like Houses, Breath Carolina, Ice Nine Kills, Jamie's Elsewhere and more.

'The Double Threat Of Danger' Lyrics 

I really, really love this song and I have absolutely no idea why it is not on the album!

This is the official video-thing for the original of this song.

 This is the acoustic version from their album.

 I think this is the only actual video by them. It is called 'Chasing Dreams'. So good. Sooo good.

"All The Small Things"- Blink182

Song: All The Small Things
Album: Enema Of The State
Artist: Blink182
Genre: Pop Rock
Rating: ****

So I thought this would be appropriate, scince today is Enema Of The State's 15th birthday!! (Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Enema Of The State, happy birthday to you!)

Blink182 are legends. Everyone has heard them and most people know this song as it is their most well known.It is very catchy, so if you don't like ear-worms then don't listen too it... actually no- you MUST listen to it! I don't really know what else to say... it's one of those song you just have to know, a bit like 'We Will Rock You'. 

Blink have inspired so many wonderful bands, like All Time Low, A Day To Remember, Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, Taking Back Sunday, blessthefall and so, so, so many more! Most of the bands I listen to and devote my life to certainly would not exist with out the influence of Mark, Tom amd Travis. So happy birthday Enema, we all love you.

'All The Small Things' lyrics


Yes... it is... um... interesting...? Right? Um... yeah...

"They Don't Need To Understand"- Andy Black

Song: They Don't Need To Understand
Album: *not yet announced
Artist: Andy Black (Andy Biersack)
Genre: Dark Wave/ Synth
Rating: ****

For all those who are unaware of this brilliant human being, Andy Biersack (also known as Andy Sixx or Andy Black) is 23, and the lead singer of Black Veil Brides (one of my favorite bands EVER), who are an Indie Rock/ Rock/ Emo band who are just perfect!! I'll leave some links to their songs at the bottom and I'll probable post about them pretty soon.
Andy Black is Biersack's side, solo project. He announced it on his Instagram page. BVB is still going stronger than ever and are currently recording their 4th album. Andy said that this project is not going to get in the way of BVB at all, he just wanted to show the world his 'alter-ego'.

The first song of this project, 'They Don't Need To Understand' was premiered today on the Hot Topic YouTube channel. It shows a new side to Andy that most of us, as fans, have never seen before. For me, it was strange seeing his alone, without a band (especially BVB) behind him, but he seemed completely comfortable with it. The song is very different to how we normally hear him, but I think it suits him.I wasn't sure what to expect before watching it but I was pleasantly surprised. I do - and always will- prefer Black Veil Brides to this, because it is more my style, but I will be one of the first to buy this album, whenever it comes out!



 The video was a bit of a disappointment for me. It's all black and white and, although I could never get sick of his wonderful face, every scene is just him singing.I still love the song though, nothing can take away from that!
