Album of the Week 3/27 - 4/2: "Strangers to Ourselves" by Modest Mouse

     Most people know Modest Mouse for one of two reasons: they heard the band's early-2000s hit "Float On", or they are Indie fans. Regardless of why you know of Modest Mouse, let us introduce you to another album that is essential to a complete collection of Indie goodness: "Strangers to Ourselves". Though this album came out in March of 2015, it still has everyone at Multi-Fret bobbing their heads and tapping pens on their desks to the ear candy. Whether it's singer/guitarist Isaac Brock's bizarre, head-scratch-inducing lyrics or the odd composition of MM songs, no one has quite yet deciphered what makes Modest Mouse stand out. We argue that it is their ability to produce brilliant music that sticks in your head for days. Whether Brock is lamenting about how "mankind is acting like serial killers" to the environment on the beautiful and tactful acoustic track "Coyotes" or apologizing for a "late package" (which could be symbolic of just about anything) on the trance-like track "Sh*t in Your Cut", the sincerity is always too blatant to miss.  

     This album grabbed everyone and their mama's attention with its initial single: "Lampshades on Fire", which followed the overarching theme of how poorly humans treat the Earth and its resources, while incorporating hooks you can't shake out of your head. But, there is more to offer than a flashy single and its video. The band has over five members. So, it's hard to figure out how the group manages to keep pumping out albums that have so much substance. Luckily for all of us, they seem to have that under control. If you're looking for something soft on the ears, but chewy for the mind, check this album out ASAP!  We have our 5 fav songs off the album below:

The Best Room

Lampshades on Fire

Wicked Campaign

Coyotes 

Sh*t in Your Cut

Once Again--New Music From The Deftones!!! "Doomed User" (New Single)

***New Tune Alert!***

     This Hard Rock/Metal Sacramento five-piece has been leaving a trail of bread crumbs for fans ever since they announced the debut of their upcoming album, Gore, for April 2016. Recently, the group leaked a single that followed their usual theme of weird radness, "Prayers/Triangles". The song has been eaten up by fans on YouTube, Spotify, and all sorts of other platforms. In suit, the group recently released another single, titled "Doomed User", on the Sirius satellite radio station known as Octane. This tune is heavier than the previously-released single, and packs quite a punch. Angst is immediate in the song, as singer Chino Moreno screams at the top of his lungs, "My fuse has expired!/ Just f**king leave here!" Give this new tune a listen! It is definite pump-up tuneage!

Album of the Week 3/20 - 3/26: "Joy, Departed" by Sorority Noise

     When most people hear the term "Emo", they are mentally bombarded with negative connotations. Many people stereotype the genre as a style embraced only by black eyeliner-sporting, rich kids who like to listen to The Cure and complain about their lives. However, this common stereotype is a gross misrepresentation of what Emo commonly means today; bands like Sorority Noise are hear to help reinforce that concept. Sorority Noise brings the strong sense of emotion that the term "Emo" was derived from. Songs by this group lay all the cards on the table and allow listeners to connect immediately. The first track off of the group's first full-length LP, "Joy, Departed", makes one think something along the lines of, "I see that the album title was quite literal."  The very first words are practically whispered and the low-volume chords in the background are accompanied by a beautiful section of strings. The song begs an answer to a desperate question: "Why do I compare everyone I love/ to how much I loved you?" This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how vividly Sorority Noise describes their "departed" joy.  Despite the word 'sorority' being in the name of the band, this 4-man group has no female members.

     However, the music is appealing to all genders and walks of life in general. The group has been known by a cult following for the past couple of years, and are finally breaking through to the mainstream. The group is even heading out on a tour headed by the more well-known Emo band Citizen, who have recently resurrected their group. Sorority Noise will examine life with you, as they do in songs like "Art School Wannabe", when singer Cameron Boucher wails a chorus that entails, "Maybe I'm my own greatest fear./ Maybe I'm just scared to admit that/ I might not be as dark as I think./ Maybe I am not the person/ That I always wanted to be."  If you are looking for some catchy tuneage that will hit you right in the feels, Sorority Noise is an amazing band to check out. We have our 5 favorite emotional bombshells of tracks below:

Art School Wannabe

Mononokay

Blissth

NoIsey 

We give this album a 4.5/5, and listen to it constantly! Check it out for yourself below:

Album of the Week 3/13 - 3/19: "Isolate and Medicate" by Seether

     Seether has been going strong since the early 2000s, and they don't show any signs of stopping. This South African trio of Hard Rock masters showed us that they were back in action with more ear candy in 2014. Though this album is not incredibly recent, radio stations pummeled the airwaves with hit singles from the group's 2014 project, "Isolate and Medicate", over this past summer. You've probably heard some of these hits (i.e. "Words As Weapons, "Same Damn Life", etc.) on Alternative or Hard Rock stations. If not, you better jump on the wagon. The album has dark and cynical tones, as many of our Albums of the Week do. Per usual, we happened to have chosen an album with some freakish, yet rad artwork on the front. However, despite some of the angst within the songs, Seether also wants you to chill and enjoy the ride with them, as seen in the first lines of the track "Same Damn Life" ("Come smoke a cigarette/ And let your hair down").  The group even used this album as a platform to comment on recent social issues, as seen in the video for the track "Nobody Praying for Me", which depicts police brutality. Whether or not you agree with the side of the aisle that Seether seems to sit on regarding the issue, the video, along with the musical content, is compelling from start to finish. There is no question that this group still holds their seemingly-Grunge-influenced roots dear. Let's be honest, singer Shaun Morgan is like a taller, red-headed version of Kurt Cobain in both voice and wardrobe. Luckily for us listeners, this Grunge influence has not become stale or redundant. Check this album out, and check out our top 5 fav tracks below:

Words As Weapons
My Disaster
Nobody Praying For Me

The tuning is standard. One can use a capo on the first fret or not at all, based on preference of sound.

New Single and Video from Highly Suspect - "Serotonia"

Singer and Guitarist, Johnny Stevens--Star of the Video

   

     Remember Highly Suspect?! If not, let us refresh your memory: The band put out a killer album, "Mister Asylum" (which we gave a 5/5 in an Album of the Week post), that came out in July and shook up the Bluesy-Rock world. They were also up for two Grammy nominations: Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song. Though the NYC three-piece didn't bring any Grammys home, they certainly aren't putting their instruments away to regroup. On February 29, the group released a new video for a single called "Seretonia", which the group had only previously played live. Now, the studio version of the song is available while watching the video, as well as on sources such as Spotify and iTunes. For those of us that love songs with meaningful lyrics, this song has your back. The singer, Johnny Stevens (who also stars alone as the main focus of the video) uses the song to lament about what seems to be a feeling of stagnancy and apathy that has permeated his soul while living in New York City. The very first lines of the song use playfully-dark sarcasm as Stevens declares, "I wish everyone I knew was dead,/So that I'd never have to pick up the phone." As previously mentioned, the video only stars Stevens, mostly in close-ups. He is juxtaposed from two different places, which appear to be a snowy rooftop in NYC and a desert in California (where he claims to want to go). If you like Highly Suspect, are looking for new music, or just want some new Bluesy riffs rocking your ears, we urge you to check this video out on YouTube. Check it out below!!!

Album of the Week 3/6 - 3/12: "Threat to Survival" by Shinedown

     Shinedown is a four-piece Hard Rock group from Jacksonville, FL that has always been known for hard-hitting tunes. However, no one expected them to launch an all-out musical siege on Rock airwaves when they started leaking singles over the summer, and leaving fans of the new tunes impatiently awaiting the release of their new album, "Threat to Survival". The LP finally dropped in September and fans (like us) had already memorized lyrics to singles like the hard-hitting and revolution-themed track "Cut the Cord". The track, which is arguably one of the best on the album, begs listeners not to blindly conform to society as it repeatedly shouts, "Don't be a casualty!/Cut the cord!" The group hadn't released anything fresh since 2012, and Shinedown is certainly making uo for lost time with their songs that are hybrids of catchy hooks, lyrics that provoke thought, and hard-hitting chords. Be sure to cut your cord and check out the new tunes below, which are Multi-Fret's top 5 fav tracks.

Outcast

State of My Head

Cut the Cord

Asking For It

Black Cadillac

We give this album a 3.5/5, and hope you find it just as refreshing! Stream the album below!
