I didn't know The Mars Volta sounded anything like OLP?
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

^ You kick ass. I am glad someone here knows anything about HTH.

Here are three of their new songs. They're in the studio recording them now.

heard about HTH about two to three years ago on audiogalaxy ( :drool: :drool: :drool: ) but didn't think they were too great...

but 'robbers' is pretty good.

I don't like their new stuff at the moment. I am waiting for a breakaway single like Eighteen was. I hope they have some slowed down songs on the new cd, maybe like 12 Oz. and Riley Joe.

Finger 11 and particularly their album "Tip"

Arnold Lanni produced it, and it shows how much of an effect he had on OLP's sound. That and it's a badass record.

Soundgarden.

Not really that much like Our Lady Peace or Matthew Good Band, but an awesome band none the less!

For a slightly OLP sounding Soundgarden CD, I recommend 'Superunknown'. But if you want total quality, and their best CD, its 'Badmotorfinger'.

Ah! I love that cd. Shame that their newer cds really lack that creativity and originality.

yeah tip was really good

You also might want to check out "Another Spin Around the Sun" by Edwin, it has some damn good songs, but then there's parts where quality control went out the window
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

when I look at the subject for this thread, I get very deeply saddened...


Instead of seeing MGB.....I keep picturing MGD, Michelob Golden Draft, only one of the single greatest beers to be drank in Minnesota.

And in shitty ass NY, ya can't find the stuff anymore because of that damn Michelob ULTRA!! Damn you Michelob for making a beer that woman and pussies will drink.
