Badger listens to: Loyalguard

Hi!
Today I´ve desided to tell you abit about a band called Loyalguard. They play this Rock/punk - ish type of music. On there Myspace Followin songs can be listend to:
Fragile
If you have to go
I whish
Time to give up
Get away
Still around

My least favorit song is Fragile. It feel far to mainstream, far to....Falout boy. Sure the vocals and playing is good but it just feels...boring.
"If you have to go" is diferent. But diferent in a good way. It´s one of those songs that just leaves that gut-punched feeling all the time. The kind that as soon as you hear it in a concert you start feeling like jumping around and singing along! It´s uniq.
"I whish" was acctually the first song I heard from these guys. I loved it then, I love it still. it got that perky rockabilly feel to it but still with their own sound. The punkish feeling is still there, and here the vocals really are reemarkeble since they have this distinct and uniq lovable sound. A great party song and my personal favorit by these guys.
"Time to give up" is a far darker song then the others. it´s charged with emotion, a very powerfull song. I love it. It´s a bit less melodic but the raw feeling of it all makes it all the better.
"Get away" feels distinctly hardcore. If this was an album I might not have been to glad to hear a song that was this far diferent then the others, but since it´s just some of the tunes available I love it since it just shows how divers these guys really are. It´s really gritty and down there. It gets the blood pumping.
"Still around" feels slightly closer to the mainstreem but the band manage to make it till sound like their own. The lyrics can feel a tad high school angsty. But overall it´s a good song.

Loyalguard is a very divers and talanted band. Badger dose indeed like them and is sure of theit future succsees! The band sounds great and here and there, there is this slight "Nine inch Nails" wibbe that givevs you the old shivers which is just freeking awsome.
Verdict: Great!
