One Of The Many Ways To Help Cure Boredom On The Computer

We've all had that moment when we're sitting at the computer or laptop and suddenly we're struck with total boredom. It's that feeling when you have nothing else to do but refresh your Facebook or Twitter page. So instead here's one way of curing computer boredom without being naughty (keep it clean people)

Note: It does involve music...

Well upcoming/new bands that I've discovered through my computer and here are three bands that have really stood out for me.


THE DEFILED



Why You Should Check Them Out:
They have fast become one of my favourite bands. They supported Murderdolls in February through the UK and are about to hit the road again in May headlining their own "13 - Lucky For Some" tour. Their debut album "Grave Times" was released on February 14th (I now have it and it is awesome!!) and it was also released with Metal Hammer.

They Sound Like...:
They sound like a mix of Devildriver and Bullet For My Valentine (with much bigger balls). So straight up metal.

Who Are They??
They are a London based band consisting of:

Stitch D - Lead Vocals and Guitar
The A.v.D - Programming, Keys and Backing Vocals
Curse - Guitar
J.C - Drums
Vincent Hyde - Bass

Check Out:
If you're going to listen to them, then check out "The Resurrectionists" which was the first song I heard. Trust me it is damn good.
Or you can listen to "Call To Arms" their most recent single.
Their EP is well worth a listen as is their debut because it is just awesome. (I'm not biased - honest)



ACEY SLADE & THE DARK PARTY




Why You Should Check Them Out:
For those who might not know, Acey Slade is mostly known for playing lead guitar for Murderdolls back in 2002. He has also played stints in Dope, Wednesday 13 and fronted Trashlight Vision. I discovered this band through Spotify and became hooked pretty quickly. They toured the UK last September and released their debut album "Dark Party" in 2010.

They Sound Like...:
Well they remind me of The Cult (actually they covered "She Sells Sanctuary"). Their sound is a mix of goth/punk rock mixed with electro. And it is very catchy.

Who Are They??
They are based in New York and consist of:

Acey Slade - Vocals and Guitar
Andee - Guitar
Matt Kepler - Drums
PerC - Bass and Keyboards.

Check Out:
I'd advise you listen to "She Brings Down The Moon" before you watch the video because it is a slightly strange video. The song is very good though. I'd also recommend you check out "Sugarcum" and their version of "She Sells Sanctuary" which is really good.



ROMEOMUSTDIE



Why You Should Check Them Out:
I only found out about these guys because they are supporting The Defiled in May so I thought I'd check them out. I'm glad I did because they are really good. Their debut album "Hardships In Season" was recently released with Metal Hammer. They also have upcoming shows in April before hitting the road with The Defiled.

They Sound Like...:
RomeoMustDie have a similar sound to The Defiled but it has less of a Devildriver feel and more of a Hatebreed feel. Again I'll compare their sound to BFMV with balls (and I am a BFMV fan!!) So they are a mixture of thrash metal and hardcore.

Who Are They??
They are as UK based band and consist of:

Adam Frakes-Sime - Vocals
Paul Fletcher - Guitar
Aaron Darling - Guitar
Ben Frost - Bass
Will Romain - Drums

Check Out:
I'd advise you to listen to "Let Them Hate" because it is an epic tune and I am currently listening to it as I write this. For the fourth time in a row...



So for those suffering from computer boredom, then here's a few new bands who should impress many of you.
