goodbye blue monday

So let's talk music. Let's talk Goodbye Blue Monday's music. This band from San Diego defies any real categorization. Some say math rock, or post-punk, emo or just plain indie rock. I like to say it's just really good music. The instrumentation of their songs is solid enough to stand alone. Intricate, cinematic melodies are layered with precise guitar work and powerful drums. Then the vocals come in and slay you with their honesty and emotion, often leaving you feeling reminiscent of lost days. There is a certain darkness to it all but somehow you also feel like there is a glimmer of hope there too. Their latest album title says it all: "Help is on the Way". Word on the street is that they will be working on a new album later this year.
