Phoenix Super-Group....
(10) comments
The Word Alive is a newly formed band that consists of ex-members of Blessthefall, Calling Of Syrens, Clouds Take Shape and Until Wings Fail. They have posted new songs up on their MySpace.
Craig Mabbitt, ex- Blessthefall vocalist and new Escape The Fate vocalist, is also the lead vocalist in this band.
Their first show is on June 7th for the Greeley Estates hometown CD Release show.
What do you think of this new group? Will they outshine their former bands?

#6 - Brightwood (OR)
(6) comments
Joined: March 2007
Highest Position: #6
Discovered By: Staff
Trend: Up 8 spots
Sounds Like: Brandtson meets Lovedrug
Why are they on the list? They have some of the most emotional music out there right now.
A lot of the new music today doesn't capture emotion. Brightwood does and does it well. I listened to this band for about a year on the road, never realizing they were unsigned. Their new album comes out in July and I cannot wait. I have a lot of high hopes for this band.

Joined: Jan. 2008
Highest Position: #7
Discovered By: Referral
Trend: Up 3 spots
Sounds Like: Dredg meets Anberlin
Why are they on the list? Their music is great and they sound like their recordings when they perform live. Not many bands can do that.
The only thing holding these guys back is their tour history but they have been actively getting it in gear. Everyone has their eye on them and more are noticing. This band is a prime candidate for a future #1 spot, if they don't get signed before that.

Highest Position: #8
Discovered By: Staff
Trend: Up 4 spots
Sounds Like: Something Corporate meets We The Kings
Why are they on the list? Their piano-infused music sets them apart from the rest of the poppy bands. And the kids love them.
This band continues to show progress with their music, tours and fanbase. That is the reason they keep rising up the list. They will keep doing their thing as long as the fans keep coming to shows. Afterall, the labels will follow the fans.

#9 - Empires (IL)

Joined: Jan. 2008
Highest Position: #9
Discovered By: Referral
Trend: Up 13 spots
Sounds Like: A mix of pop, rock, indie, americana
Why are they on the list? The band is ready for its first release (May 27th) and their songs show versatility.
This is another hot product from the Chicago music scene and this band is primed to take it over. With a former member of The Acadamy Is in the band, this band knows the business and has the connections. Look for them to build from the ground up and wait for the right deal. Patience is a virtue.

Sounds Like: Pitchfork-esque with commercial appeal
Why are they on the list? They have great songs and there is just something about them.
TDC has a history of putting brand new bands in the Top Ten. We did it with Forever The Sickest Kids (Jan. '07), The Maine (Jan. '07) and Brave Citizens (Jan. '08). Some bands just have that X-Factor. I think this band does. Let's see how this pans out. Do they really only have 380 friends on MySpace? Not for long.

Tired of all that spam on your MySpace? Well, it might become a lot less after this.
MySpace has won a $234 million lawsuit against the "Spam King."
MySpace launched the lawsuit in 2007 after they believed that Sanford Wallace and Walter Rines used a phishing scheme to access people's accounts to send hundreds of thousands of spam messages.
I think most of us fell for that phishing scheme in the past. I know I did.
