HOT LIST
Emery (http://www.purevolume.com/emery)- This Tooth and Nail sextet is the top of the list this week as the buzz for their sophomore album The Question has reached a deafening pitch. The album is passionate, focused and hauntingly beautiful. T&N has a new superstar on their hands.

Relient K (http://www.relientk.com)- These Canton, Ohio boys have been around for years, selling records and touring pretty much under the radar. It wasn't until Capitol Records heard their new album Mmhmm and signed them that things finally took off. With solid radio play, MTV and Fuse love, appearances on the late shows and relentless touring Relient K has gone gold and is looking at platinum.

Dredg (http://www.dredg.com)- Their debut record was passionately loved by all who heard it, but that was the problem; few heard it. A couple years later and some hefty hype from internet magazines such as this one, their new album Catch Without Arms is making a splash and the ripple is widening. Dredg has scored a moderate radio hit in "Bug Eyes," which also appears on the new Stealth Soundtrack and has landed the coveted position of opening for Coheed and Cambria on their fall tour.

Vendetta Red (http://www.vendettared.com/)- There was a bidding war for this quartet a few years ago and everyone was expecting great things from their debut. Unfortunately it sucked and it looked like all was lost. Guess again. Vendetta Red's new album Sisters of the Red Death is going to be on everyone's year end list and their single "Silhouette Serenade" has all the makings of a smash. If Epic can mess this up, they need to stop putting out records.

NOT LIST
The Spill Canvas (http://www.thespillcanvas.com/)- When their debut came out a year or so ago everyone, and I mean everyone hopped on the bandwaggon. There was something about Sunsets and Car Crashes that just drew you in, and with the promotion of AP.net the album really took off. Unfortunately with a full band this time, TSC struggles. The songwriting is not there, the lyrics are mediocre, and despite the fact that it will again be shoved down everyone's throat, One Fell Swoop is simply not very good. This is the disapointment of the year.

I think Boys Night Out should prolly be HOT right now.. im sure there's some other Warped Tour bands that are greatly benefiting from the tour this summer much like Underoath/MCR/etc did last summer..

I think although I quite like their album, Hawthorne Heights should definitely make the NOT list, just because they are a pure exercise in style over substance, they are becoming huge (thanks warped!!) but to be honest there are a hell of a lot of far more talented bands out there! Their lyrics would be frowned upon by Britney...

after the release of the Welcome Home track, and the anticipation of their new album, i think CO&CA should be on the HOT list. Do i even have to mention the fact that DANE COOK is BURNIN' UP the HOT LIST! My NOT list would include JamisonParker

I agree, Coheed for sure. Also, Billy Talent, the best 'punk-ish' music I've heard in a long time. And the NOT list? Hmm...I can't pick right now. Lol.

That's cool, glad you actually listened to it. I happen to think it's great. I love the whole concept of the album and it just sounds fucking huge. Regardless of what anyone thinks of it, you have to admit it's definitely up for the most fucked up lyrics of the year award.

It is a list for what is hot RIGHT NOW and what is not. Oh, on the bands front, I daresay that your musical tastes are no more valid or appropriate than anyone elses.

Brandon is right. Its for bands that are hot right now. It doesn't matter if they're new or if they've been around for 15 years. It has nothing to do w/ whether I like the band or not either. It is strictly who is doing well for themselves right now, or who people are talking about.

I'm sorry for my lack of coherency in the previous post. I was slightly intoxicated at the time. This is what I had meant to say: "The list a list full of shitty bands for people with an immature taste of music." I'm not asking for a list of "new" or "fresh" bands, you misinterpreted my comment. I was asking for bands with talent and not bands that sell out and release uninspiring "scene" rock. Vendetta Red, Reliant K, and Emery are laughable bands. I'm sorry, but they have about as much talent as a retarded monkey attempting to do quantum physics.

Dredg is at least a credible band, I'll give you that. Anyone whose opinion is worth a dime will tell you that Catch Without Arms is a very weak album. I know for a fact that those around Decoy who have a respectable reputation didn't think much of the album but held their tongue for the most part due to the big paycheck.

In any case, this hot list is anything but. It's really a shame because there are a ton of artists putting out fantastic music and you so readily leave them out of the "hot" list. You claim to have an extensive knowledge of music, but the inability to see past the US border is your main hindrance. I'm sure if pressed you could names some UK or Canadian bands that you (and everyone else) enjoy, so big props there.

Give me a call when you pull your head out of you ass and get off the emo boat.

Ummmmmm, Bullet for my Valentine, No? ok how about Along came Man... lost ya? ok surely you know Unit B-32, or decoy eden, nope guess not. Besides the fact that these are all great UK based bands (which i know...do you?? probably only bullet.) you are still painfully (to me at the very least) misunderstanding the thread, as your pride fuelled outburst indicates. Yes I can name some bands from different countries, but in case you hadn't noticed (in which case you are more of a dim-witted imbecile than i give you credit for) the focus over the past, hmmmmm, lets say 60 years, has been around what goes down in the BIG OL U S A. Now, cast your mind back to most of the music that led to what we listen to today, where did it come from?? Berlin, nope. Biarritz, hardly. It nearly all came or at least originated from america.

So before you go spitting out high and mighty statements about my knowledge of music (which extends beyond mere rock music by the way, life doesn't begin and end with bands!) check yourself before you wreck yourself. I may not have the all knowing brain of a "genius" :rolleyes: such as yourself, but fuck knows i know a bit. So to recap, you still don't know what the fuck this post is about, you incorrectly disparaged me for my (supposedly) nominal musical knowledge, you seem to think I dont know any music outside of the US (did you listen to Ali Fakar's "in the heart of the moon"?? No?? that's african, c'mon i thought you'd have known) which is a complete pile of steaming dino doo-doo. YOU patronise me, yet clearly your intelligence doesn't surpass that of a heavily inebriated, mildly retarded and profusely confused yet stalwartly uninteresting parrot who has been repeatedly smacked about the head with a piece of junglistic 2 by 4, good day sir.

You wish you could have half the musical knowledge of Roncag. You cite a few half-assed rock/screamo acts and cite that as insight about the music world, yet all it really shows is a lack of perspective on the larger scope of music.

Granted, decoy is a pretty punk/emo oriented site, so I'm sure my words are wasted here, but you guys are missing out on a large part of the music world right now--and Roncag knows that as well. He's trying to open your eyes, yet you all refuse to listen to absolute garbage.

Expand your boundaries, what are you afraid to lose? The music you listen to is boring an repetitive; it becomes difficult to tell one band from tne next as they all journey through mediocrity. When a new band doing the exact same thing as every other band appears on the scene, you herald them as "the next big thing" and promptly begin to fellate them for months on end.

The saddest thing is that when one of this mediocre bands does attempt to change their style and do something different they lose most of their fanbase in the process. There's no concept of growth or change in that music, only an ongoing deterioration into outdated, overplayed music and a strong desire to sell out as fast as possible.

I can excuse radio whores because they don't care enough about music to know better. Scenesters go out of their way to listen to crap, and I dont' understand it.

I personally dont think too highly of Dredg but was asked by about 5-10 of our staff members if we could do something for them. We worked something out with Interscope and promoted the album for one day. When I take a step back and look 5-10 ppl who like Dredg is about 30-40% of the website. There's not going to be one single band everyone on here likes. And you saying Catch Without Arms is weak is a very subjective statement of opinion. We appreciate your input but you thinking the album sucks doesnt mean everyone does so you claiming we only promoted it for the paycheck is inaccurate, we could have most likely charged a hell of a lot more for everything we did but instead we took what we made and just purchased a $750 ad campaign with is more than double what we took in for Dredg.

What the fuck are you talking about?? I said in my second reply that I am far from thinking the world begins and ends with emo, in fact I'd say that only a very select percentage of my musical intake is taken up by said genre.

what im saying is that if he wants to gripe about how this site only covers emo/punk music then he is mistaken, there's around 2000 people a day who read this website, only which a select few post. Who am I to say emo music is bad, im not, i dont like it.. my opinion. I'm just trying to say that not everyone who reads or comes on here likes emo music.. he's trying to throw a label on everyone when in reality it just happens most of you who post on a consistent basis happen to like what he hates. im glad you guys post, I could careless what other select few (1) people have to say about it. Since we're called decoyMUSIC not decoyemo, not decoypunk, not emotionalcrap.com... i like how we dont leave out one group of people.. we cover it all, and without you we couldnt.

Go look at the six reviews on the front page to see what we all cover just as an example:

Oasis, Chiodos, Somerset, The Robot Ate Me, Day of Contempt, and The Rise. You've got brit-rock, piano-screamo, indie-emo, random craziness, punk, and electro-hardcore. Some weeks we have even more diverse stuff. I think we're far from pigeonholed into one genre.

Both are US bands, but I was under the impression that they were way bigger over there than here...Clear Static should do well for themselves though as they just signed a deal with Maverick.

Your list is so unabashedly cliche that it borders on hysteria. I mean you might impress some circle-jerking 15 year olds over at ap.net with that list (even thats a stretch) but I can't believe you'd fein that on us as a retort.

It's like somebody handed you a diploma that read "Congrats!!! DUDE!!! You just passed 10th grade Message Boarding! All you need to do is remember this list of "influential" artists and you'll be ready to rock the boards!"

I mean, did you copy this list from somebody's myspace page? It's just THAT contrived.

This discussion is the reason music exists. We are just doing what we can in trying to cover that music, and if people already know about bands then that should seem to be ok. If we are able to open some eyes to different bands then excellent as well.

Nothing contrived about having good taste in music, my "sincerest apologies" for listening to some established acts, I'm not out to impress anyone, I like what I like, you it seems are out to be a pretentious dickhead about having real taste in music, just because every act I write down isn't "underground" or fledgling makes them no less valid... what is cliched about enjoying the artists I listed? Fuck all thats what. Shall I tell you what's a cliche, you are, thinking you cant like musicians who large groups of other people enjoy is one of the most gargantuan cliches of our time, in your quest to become hip and assert your elitism over others, you forgot how to appreciate music without being an over-analytical "jumped-up" dickhead. So excuse me for enjoying the artists above, oh and for your information, that is a copy of my ITunes "last played" list, Jackass.
