Overkast is now

A band I mentioned about a year ago is finally releasing thier new album. The band is called OverKast. They are probably my new favorite band out of the pacific northwest. They are releasing the album around Febuary so it will go to my want list. So feb already has Red,rumored Guardian & now Overkast. wow. Check out the samples on their myspace page.

Overcast

Looks like they have the cd ready to ship out. Only 13 bucks. Here is the information if you would like to order. Probably be my first cd of '09.

Overcast sounds good Chosenone.
You are very good in bringing bands under our attention.

I hope not only February will be a good month for us "rockers".

I noticed OverKast was almost done a few days ago. I'm looking forward to it.

Looks like my extra spending money in February is already being snatched up!

I just placed an order for this.

Cool give us a review how the new Overkast sounds.

It pretty decent modern rock that leans toward the smoother but not poppy side of things.

I might have to get this, and support the "local guys" (especially since there are so few of them).

Only support them if you really like them. No need to spend the dough if the CD isn't going to get some love now and then.

My goal for 2009 is to be picky and buy NO CDs that are "traders". I don't care if I have 10 CDs by a particular band. If it doesn't sound like I'd love from online clips, then it doesn't need to make it into the coolection. I'm tired of buying stuff only to be disappointed later.

Here I am hyping up this band and still haven't ordered it. Will be doing that tonight. Will probably be my first cd of '09. I agree with you Alldat about cds. Honestly last year I didn't by any real clunkers except for maybe Third Day's Revelation. It's a good cd and I will spin it from time to time but I was expecting something a little more harder. I think I'll start paying more attention to reviews and what my fellow peers think.

Well I gotta confess the first time I listened to them (way back when Chosen first posted about them). I only heard one of their tracks, and it sounded like generic modern rock to me. But after listening to all the tracks on their myspace site (and they posted 6, must be like half the album), I see there is quite a bit of variety to their sound. That alone would probably be enough to keep me interested enough in the album to at least spin it on occasion (may even more).
I should really love most modern rock, because it usually has decent hooks, and lots of melody. But my biggest problem with many modern rock bands is that the music seems to sound really "samey" from song to song. But that isn't the case for some artists/records. Take Hammertown for instance, absolutely love their album. Skillet's "Comatose" is another great example, enough variety to keep me happy. But Skillet's previous album "Collide" bored me to tears, and I gave it away.
I think this OverKast album definately has enough variety for me. The music also sounds genunie and honest. Something I can't say for every band in the modern rock category.
