A Skylit Drive: "Identity On Fire"

Hope you all had a nice St. Pattys day, i know i did. I come from an extremely Irish family so i celebrate. But i don't have the accent though. I also had a great B-day party in case any of you were wondering. Anyways, let's get down to FREGGEN' business. A Skylit Drive, one of my favorite post-hardcore bands EVA'! Their new album "Identity On Fire" was released on the 15th of February. Little over a month ago now. Lead singer Michael "Jag" Jagmin's vocals are powerful and great as usual. My favorite song of the album is probably "Too Little, Too Late."

I also like "The Cali Buds." And the synthy ending to "If you lived here, you'd be home" is pretty, um, seductive? Can i say that? lmao. Alright, i'll say it's a beautiful fade-out.

If you guys are fans, definitely check them out. This album has a little more punk side to it aside from their past albums. alright yo, see ya later! ;)

Info On: "A Skylit Drive"

A Skylit Drive is a Rock/Alternative/Metal/Screamo/Hardcore Band. There is six of them. Jordan Blake (Now in Watchout! Theres Ghosts) was the lead vocals in band back in 2007. Unfortunately, he had to leave because he was sick and his voice was messed up. So, they had auditions for new lead vocals, and they found Michael "Jag" Jagmin. Now, he is the lead vocals. Their top songs are "Wires And The Concept Of Breathing" "Drown The City" "All It Takes For Your Dreams To Come True" "Knights Of The Round" & "Hey Nightmare Where Did You Get Them Teeth" -- Which ends with a beautiful piano outro. My personal favorite album is Adelphia. Their top songs on that album is "Prelude To A Dream" "Those Cannons Could Sink A Ship" "Heaven" & "Running With The Light" My personal favorite songs by them are; Prelude To A Dream, Those Cannons Could Sink A Ship, Drown The City, Hey Nightmare Where Did You Get Them Teeth, & Wires And The Concept Of Breathing. Anyways, I love this band. So much. Every since early 2009, I've been listening to them. They make very good songs with great meaning. Some people call it ridiculous shouting, but they all have beautiful meanings. Running With The Light is a pretty tamed and deep. And Hey Nghtmr Where Dd U Gt thm Teeth finished off with a nice piano. Some other songs are great, but of course, there is some just fun ones that scream a lot. Also, I really love "Prelude To A Dream" because it starts out slow, quiet and peaceful, and then...BAM! Fast Beat Rock and hard Screamo. Hahaha...it scared the crap outa my friend. He didn't see that coming! ;) They are similar to; The Devil Wears Prada, A Day To Remember, Dance Gavin Dance, I Set My Friends On Fire, For The Fallen Dreams, & In Fear And Faith. If you think you wanna taste, give them a try! ;)
