It’s All About Cred

April 18th, 2004

Alright, so as you all may or may not know, I?m a huge music fan. Therefore, I am always looking for new music to cling to in order to increase my music credibility!!!

LOL! Ok, seriously…so last Wednesday my friend Kyle offered me his extra ticket to the Switchfoot show. So, never being one to refuse a free concert ticket, not to mention the fact that I had ZERO to do that night, I happily agreed.
Now, you may or may not know who Switchfoot are – we have a few of their videos in rotation here at Much. To tell the truth, their singles don?t do them justice – they?re one of the best live bands I?ve seen in a very long time.

However, it was the opening band, Copeland who really got the majority of my attention. Their sound is very acoustic/rock/California emptiness. If that doesn?t make sense…well, that?s the best you?re gonna get…so, tough!!!! Honestly, I?m not usually a fan of the sappy/cry me a river rock…but these guys are incredible. After their set I immediately ran to their merch table and bought a CD – yes I buy CDs.

When I got home last night I put it on while I made a late night snack. Before I knew it I was curled up in a ball crying my eyes out listening to this epic opus of a lonely guy?s gut-wrenching emptiness, even though I had nothing to be sad about. Now usually this would be seen as a bad thing, but it takes a real man to admit he cries. That?s right…I said it!!!!!!

Moral of the story: Copeland rock!!!! So get on over to your local CD store and grab “Under Medicine Tree”. Then, take it back to your room and have a good cry – the world will be a better place for it!!!!!

Cheers,

Devon
