Rising Artists

There are a ton of rising bands out there trying to make it that I really like. There are a few that I just happen to love. The first one: The Swellers. I know I've talked a little about them in the past, but I think they're worth mentioning again. They're a band from Michigan, I first heard about them when the came to Boston with Paramore, and they are on tour right now until pretty much the end of the summer, doing a show almost every single day. They are playing at, what looks like, every Warped Tour show. I'd like to take a moment to add that they will probably be one of the only bands at Warped Tour this year worth seeing, which is pretty sad as their headliners used to be absolutely amazing. Another really incredible band is Gone By Daylight, out of western Mass., the Springfield area. I've actually met one of them before; a friend introduced me to him at a Blink show last summer. They're really cool guys, and their music, to me, is awesome. Interestingly, I showed one of their songs to my friend one day, and her first reaction was to tell me the lead singer's voice sounded exactly like Fall Out Boy. Could be an insult, but it wasn't in this case. Listen for yourself:
