About Me!

Hey! I’m Becca and this is my site where I write band recommendations. This whole site was started simply cause I was getting tired of friends asking me what bands they should listen to and what music they should buy. I never imagined people would read it and it had never crossed my mind that this was such a great way to get to talk to so many awesome people! Sure, there are albums that I don’t like, but I find it’s best to just not write about it rather than to write a negative review. There’s no point in wasting readers’ time by talking about how shitty a band is. If you ever have any requests for a write up, want to comment on something, or just want to talk about music in general, hit me up! I love talking to new people (and the old). I bite, but it’s the internet, so what’s the worst that can happen?! ;)

All Time Low-MTV Unplugged

This is just a super quick write up for All Time Low's MTV Unplugged performance. I'm writing this partly because, I was a bit disgusted by the lack of attention this performance got (the CD/DVD was released in January) and also in anticipation for Straight To DVD to be released May 25th. Their 6 song set is nicely divided by 2 songs from each Put Up Or Shut Up, So Wrong, It's Right, and Nothing Personal. It's not that this recording went completely ignored, but for a band of their status (or any status for that matter), MTV Unplugged is a pretty big deal. I didn't expect their MTV Unplugged recording to get the same amount of attention as Katy Perry's, but still. As all All Time Low fans know, there's nothing better than an All Time Low interview, so yes, the DVD includes an interview. Though this is a recommendation for people to check this performance out, I have one complaint (sorry!). I'm sure most would say I'm overreacting, but in my opinion Kate Voegele's performance as the guest vocalist on "Remembering Sunday" was unbearably boring and dull. Of course, she's disappointing compared to Juliet Simms (Automatic Loveletter), but couldn't Alex have helped her a little? When they perform that song live, Alex changes the part stylistically so that it's not so dull when sung down an octave. I don't know, but Kate Voegele managed to make that one really epic part... simply boring. To end this on a better note, I highly recommend this CD/DVD and though it's more entertaining when watching the DVD, the tracks don't feel incomplete without the visual.
