Farewell...T_T

Well, I've gotten tired of this blog and seems to me that no one reads it anyway (ouch). I've decided to bring Red Rhythms to a close, however I will not delete it, just discontinoue it. Here's a list of artists I never got to recommend:
Tegan & Sara - indie pop / indie rock
Fireflight - Christian rock
VersaEmerge - rock
Eyes Set To Kill - metalcore
Paper Route - indie rock
ketchup mania - Japanese rock (disbanded)
Dazzle Vision - Japanese rock
Billy Talent - rock
The Fire Restart - rock (unsigned, disbanded)
Green Day - rock
Linkin Park - hard rock (with some rap)

If you have any interest in Japanese music, this is a great site (though it's probably preferrable to just download for free): http://www.japanfiles.com/
Maybe in the future I'll come back on here and make a post, but unless that happens, I'm gone.

The Joy Formidable

I don't know anyone who's heard of this band. In fact the way I found them was I saw them in an article in a SPIN magazine, and out of curiosity I searched them on YouTube. The Joy Formidable is a three-piece indie rock band from Wales. I feel the need to say that their lead singer Ritzy Bryan (that's right, I said Ritzy) has an interesting voice (in a good way)...and she's just so cute! Honestly, I can't say I'm a fan of this band since I've only heard two of their songs, but I wanted to recommend them anyway. The songs I like are Whirring and Cradle. The Whirring video is good, but Cradle is kind of weird for me. So...go listen to them.

Review: Everybody's Fool - Evanesence

(Don't be put off by the fake commercial at the beginning, it's part of the video). This video really touched home with me a little because it features Amy Lee trying to be "pretty" and/or "perfect" and hating both that idolized "perfection" and the pain it causes her. I like how this video is so exaggerated but so true to life at the same time (does that make sense?). The song is really good, too. Four out of five stars.
