baby nameless is nameless no more!
Jul. 28th, 2009 05:49 pmWe can has a band name! And a single!
First impressions: Sounds a lot like The Who, enough that I'm actually kind of making an irritated face at the screen, because that particular kind of guitar is why I get aggravated with the oldies station after a while, but, I like the implied possibilities. I'm keen to see what the rest of their songs sound like now. Also, Ryan sounds gooooood, at at least to me. Heh. I feel like this style of music suits him better than Panic!'s does, in some ways. Also: Some of Ryan, Jon and Alex's Tweets seem to have been their lyrics, especially their collective recent Mark Twain kick. Sneaky sneaky!
On the subject of Panic!, I like New Perspective, too. It does sound fresher, musically, than Change. I've seen a couple of comments about a distinct Third Eye Blind influence, which listening to it again, I can definitely hear (though I might expand that to include a general strong '90s vibe), but it also sounds like they applied the melodic lessons they learned from Pretty. Odd. to the core sound from AFYCSO. Which so far as I'm concerned is a fantastic result, and I'm keen to see what the rest of their songs sound like, too.
Anyway, for a special bonus footnote, I did some low-key poking around to see if The Young Veins was a reference to anything besides the obvious: actual young veins, flexible and full of blood. I found some odds and ends to do with plants, and also this , in Elements of mineralogy, crystallography and blowpipe analysis, by Alfred Joseph Moses and Charles Lathrop Parsons, from 1916. It is doubtless wholly unrelated, but I was amused.
