It's Alive! - "Pieces"

[My Life Is A Stereo]

Allaccess March 9th

This song is well over a year old and is getting the shiny release to radio. I understand that with new bands it can easily take longer to get it out there but after hearing it I'm wondering why it would take so long and not because I think the song is amazing or anything like that. I've listened to it a few times and the biggest thing that comes to mind is for the average radio listener this fits in perfectly between a Linkin Park and Seether song. I honestly will probably end up liking it well enough, even though I'll have to get over the generic radio sound it has. It's catchy and has a chorus that its easy to sing along with but it is not going to be the next "new sound".....because it's an old sound done decently.

I'm surprised I've never heard of these guys before if they sound like a lot of the generic stuff out there. I'll have to keep their name in mind to see if I hear them in the coming month on the airwaves.

Don't fee bad AI, I hadn't heard of them before today either, lol....I just saw the adds date, went and listened to it a few times on youtube and noticed that it was added at the end of '08

They signed to Wind-Up recently so that's probably why.

That would answer the question. It's not like its totally uncommon at all. I mean come on, Sittin at a Bar took like 8 years, lol

I also thought it was funny that you mentioned Seether.

Kind of reminds me of Madina Lake, with whom they'd toured with at one point before they got signed.

Hm not hearing much of a Madina Lake resemblance tbh. Has more of a Saosin/Almost sort of sound. I'm suprised this is racking up the spins on Active. Pretty pop-punk/emo-ish for Active I would have thought.
