Periphery - "Jetpacks Was Yes!"

[jvandyck87]

I talked to the guys in Periphery, and they said that Sumerian is going to push this to rock radio after they're done testing Asking Alexandria out at radio. I like the Asking Alexandria single a decent amount, but this song is awesome and it was really good tonight live. The guys in Fair To Midland called Periphery one of the most talented groups of musicians they know, and Periphery said that Fair To Midland's new album will be the album of the year of 2011 upon hearing it, so it sounds like these bands respect each other quite a lot.



This version has no screaming and sounds really melodic compared to their other stuff. The lead guitarist can play his ass off, and the lead singer can hit ridiculous notes. I think this song shows them more reigned in and as very strong songwriters. I think y'all will dig it and hopefully active rock radio will take notice when Sumerian sends it there.

Well, I think the Asking Alexandria single is pretty accessible, and that looks to be struggling to make the top 40, so I don't think this would do any better. They're far more talented than AA, though, so I hope it does.
