Ok so seriously? Does anyone listen to this band? I have been for a while now and they are just too ????ing awesome and are local to PA. :rock
 
I actually do like BB. It's hard rock but with depth to their music. They aren't just screaming into the mic or ?????ing about life as a rockstar.

Yeah I agree! This has become me favorite band bar none! No one out there right now does it like this. Fantastic! :rock
 
I'm a BB fan, and I actually find they keep getting better and better with each album, I'm really digging a lot of their stuff on Dear Agony. Not a mainstream piece of theirs but they do a really nice cover of Queen's Who Wants TO Live Forever off a Queen tribute album.

Dear Agony is awesome! I still think that if Paranormal Activity wasn't a movie it would have been a perfect music video for "What Lies Beneath" I plan on making something when the DVD comes out just to prove it.
 
My favorite songs on Dear agony are Fade Away and helpless. One of my favorite things about BB is the emotion that comes through in the singing. Like was said, they're not rocking just to rock, but there's an outpouring from the soul, at least I perceive one. That's how I got hooked on them back when I first heard So Cold. I have an acoustic version of So Cold, it's awesome, reducing that song to like one acoustic guitar and just vocals pulls even more emotion out of it than the studio cut.

My favorite song to me was and is "Until the End". It was the inspiration of my Phoenix tattoo. Rise above!

That's probably their most inspiring song, I love it, first time I heard that song it just clicked with me, never give up or in because settling for anything in life will never be enough. On top of that it's got a fun beat at the chorus. That song came out a convenient time for me, I was in a long distance relationship at the time and going through a period where I wanted to give up trying to make it work, but I realized giving in to it being a little hard was stupid because I'd be settling for something less than what I really want.
 
Soo.. Ben is actually from my area. Girl I'm friends with knows him and Chad. Kinda cool actually. And I agree, they get better with every release. Still have a soft spot for Dance with the Devil though.

Not going to lie, that song touched me in so many ways. :eek: In context and all that. Dad, Wife, all of that. Hence the need for a bad ass tatt. I almost got the album cover. Glad I didn't. I wanted something that meant something to me. Again not going to lie the song helped the process. :rock

Dude we need to meet up sometime! I always forget you are from PA. Praxitas and I are going to see Avatar tomorrow night. I cant wait! :banana
 
They're a great band for that, of all the music I listen to, if I made a playlists of songs that emotionally connect for me and help me in some facet of life, I think BB would probably have the most songs there. They're great to have on stand by for car rides when you need to just sing along and find a place of zen, and yes, I proudly shout along with them in my car :lol

haha I am too! But I'm up near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. I gotta say it's kinda cool knowing Ben grew up around here. I'm actually surprised they aren't bigger then they are.

You are soooo right! Its not just screaming and harsh garble if that makes sense. They have a message and a point. And it's not political or all about God. It's about pure feelings and emotions and I love that!
 
One song I love for the creativeness is Home, first time I listened to it I had to pause for a minute, I was like wait, is that the story of the Wizard of Oz :lol

As far as having a purpose with their music, I think that's why I find them better with each album, there's an evolution. I love all their albums, but I find more and more songs to connect with as they come out with each new one, Phobia was when they really started hitting on things.

I love Without You on Dear Agony, I think everyone has someone in their life that they can connect with that song.
