65daysofstatic creating a post-rock sound similar to Mogwai, but unlike the countless sound alikes in the genre 65daysofstatic are easy to seperate from the rest with their drum machines. 65daysofstatic without the help of vocals manage to be a very emotive and expressive band. They create a wall of sound better than the wall of China. With keyboards providing beautiful riffs and the drums and electronic creating a background better than any army and with guitars more effective then machine guns. Cheesy? Yes, but One Time For All Times proves to be a powerfully addicting release.

38. Brand New "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me"


Brand News latest release shows them having matured in every way. Musically, lyrically, vocally they sound like an entirely different band from when they first started out. This album, which is full of religiously themed songs and self-depreciating words all sung by frontman Jesse Lacey. An american boy who tries to sing like Morrissey but is too pissed off to do so. The band takes influences from so many places in this album its really hard to pick them out. Theres some obvious hardcore influences, some Modest Mouse influences (apparent in the slide on Jesus), as well as some Smiths/Morrissey influences, they're all over the map on this album. Its an album that will capture you from start to finish.
