A Little (Or Large) Bit Of Info - Part 1 - Favourite Bands Past & Present, And Their Best Songs

I thought I may inform you of some things about moi. Musicalwise of course.

Favourite Band/Singer:
Well, this has changed a lot over time.
So, from the start of Year 7 (September '07 - about to go into Year 9 now btw.) until about May '08 it was Calvin Harris, my song obsession was "The Girls". It's still pretty amazing (and so is he - I really want his new album, sadly I don't have a lot of money atm), but I just like other things better. From then until May '08 to early September '08 it was Alphabeat, then my song obsession was "Fascination". I guess they're alright now. Then from that September till maybe Christmas, it was Panic! At The Disco. Tbh I loved I Write Sins Not Tragedies. Then until then till about maybe, May '09, it was Fall Out Boy. I was obsessed. Just like all my friends still are; they seem shocked that I've moved on. They're still pretty cool, I have four of their albums :] Then from then about May '09 it was Kids In Glass Houses. Give Me What I Want. That song's still awesome, they're amazing, and their album, Smart Casual, is amazing. But then that month, I discovered Mindless Self Indulgence. Total insanity really for me to love them considering the first song I heard was Shut Me Up. I was like totally obsessed until about October. They're still pretty awesome and I still absolutely love them, but then I found my current obsession.
ALL TIME LOW!
I lovelovelovelovelove them so much. :D I saw them at the Kerrang! Tour 2010 on 4th February at Manchester Academy and it was absolutely fantastic! In fact that's an understatement. It was the best night of my entire life. I got fairly close to the front too. Anyway, they have all these amazing upbeat songs like Hello, Brooklyn and the more downbeat ones like Therapy, the ones about love and heartbreak like Remembering Sunday and then ones that make you cry like Lullabies. But they're all fantastic. There's only one song I'm not that keen on which is Too Much (I don't get where they were going with it tbh) and I think they've got to be good if there's only one song I don't like that much.
Reasons to like All Time Low:
  • The whole album Nothing Personal.
  • And So Wrong, It's Right.
  • And all of their discography.
  • The song Remembering Sunday is actually incredible.
  • They put on the best live show ever.
  • They're amazingly funny.
  • Alex Gaskarth, the singer, is the most gorgeous, beautiful man on the planet.
  • I plan to marry him at some point.
  • He's that good-looking in person too.
  • Jack Barakat, the guitarist, is the second most gorgeous, beautiful man on the planet.
  • I plan to marry him at some point.
  • He's that good-looking in person too.

Atm my favourite bands are All Time Low, Breathe Carolina, My Passion, Kids In Glass Houses and Paramore. :]
