Hey There Delilah is an EP that really finds pop-rockers Plain White T's expanding upon their 2005 full-length, All That We Needed. Closing out that album was the acoustic balladry of "Hey There Delilah," and it's that song of longing that plainly serves as this release's anchor. The new version of the track starting things off is really the same as the original -- save for the addition of a lovely string arrangement -- and the closing live take packs in an entire Dashboard Confessional gig's worth of audience involvement. The tender, sentimental nature of the song remains intact in both cases, however, making it easy to see why it's become one of the more popular songs from their last album. As for the new tracks, "Easy Way Out" employs some nice sporadic handclaps, though the driving (no pun intended) "Down the Road" is definitely one of the EP's highlights with its enthusiastic dreams of trading in a stale home life for the open road. "Losing Myself" and "If I Told You" prove to be a little disconcerting, not musically -- the former injects pleasant piano tinkering with layered vocal harmonies -- but in subject matter. Both songs exhibit romantic pains ("She used to say I was the love of her life/ Lately she ain't showing," "If I said I was leavin' would you still find a reason/ To ignore my every word") that are the polar opposites of the affections shared in the EP's title tracks. Assuming that vocalist Tom Higgenson is talking about the same long-distance relationship, well, life on the road doesn't seem to have been that kind to his love life. And if that is the case, it's a little sad for the optimists of the world to see the once-apparent happy ending a lot further from actually being written for him. With this EP, Plain White T's have gathered up a nice little release for their fans just in time for Warped. And hey, it could also serve well as the soundtrack to the starry eyed beginning and heartbroken end of a few summer romances. [The EP comes enhanced with three music videos for tracks from All That We Needed]. ~ Corey Apar Plain White T's Hey There Delilah Songs Hey There Delilah Music Review Purchase Hey There Delilah CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Copeland Know Nothing Stays The Same CD (2004)

Essentially exuberant power-pop in emo-punk dress, Plain White T's trade in the kind of clean, modern, sugar-sweet radio pop that Jimmy Eat World made a career out of. While their hit "Hey There Delilah" is included here, its gentle acoustic treatment is not typical of the overall sound. The opening title track is like the Strokes with a haircut, a shower, and a new set of clothes, with a jumpy, shuffling beat and Everyman vocals. "Revenge" is anchored by a pounding beat and hard-rocking fuzz guitars, and "Take Me Away" is anthemic, zooming, and melodic.
Elsewhere, "What More Do You Want" cops moves from new wavers like the Cars and Romantics and "Sing My Best" is a summer radio hit waiting to happen. In fact, many of the airwave-ready tunes could be the perfect addition to the soundtrack of an '80s comedy, which is far ...

| | Jack's Mannequin Everything In Transit CD (2005)
Hey There Delilah
$9.95
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Jack's Mannequin: Andrew McMahon (vocals, harmonica, piano, organ, bells); Jim Wirt (guitar, bass instrument); Bobby "Raw" Anderson (guitar, background vocals); Patrick Warren (accordion, chamberlin, Moog synthesizer, sampler).
Additional personnel: Tommy Lee (drums); CJ Eiriksson (programming).
If Andrew McMahon is the Ben Folds of Something Corporate, then his side project Jack's Mannequin is his Fear of Pop, his opportunity to step out of the group and try something different. Except in McMahon's case, it isn't so much fear of pop as much as an embrace of pop, since he sheds the loud guitars and punky overtones of his main band for a sunny, unabashedly tuneful Californian pop on Jack's Mannequin's debut album, Everything in Transit. In truth, it's not all that far removed from his contributions to Something Corporate, which were also tightly written and tuneful, but it sounds truer to his artistic inclinations than either of SC's studio albums, since underneath its guise as a loose concept album about a year of turbulent relationships on Venice Beach, it's a full-blown singer/songwriter piano-pop album. More than ever, on Everything in Transit McMahon sounds like the heir to Ben Folds' wise-ass interpretation of Joe Jackson, but McMahon isn't as cynical or goofy as Folds. His humor is sardonic ...

The plaintive acoustic ballad "Hey There Delilah" launched the unassuming Illinois group Plain White T's into the role of unlikely stars. For their follow-up, it would be tempting for the band to make a whole album of ballads just ...

| | Ill Ease Exorcist CDs (2004) W/Bonus Disc
Hey There Delilah
$10.39
Ill Ease: Elizabeth Sharp (vocals); Elliott Sharp.
Additional personnel: David Barbe (guitar, background vocals).
The Exorcist does the tighten up on Ill Ease's shtick. Whether or not it's at the expectance of her new and larger label, Too Pure, IE maestro Elizabeth Sharp has leashed Live at the Holiday Sin's meandering muse and created her strongest set yet. That doesn't mean she's gone all pop. The same chattering and stilted percussion winds through Exorcist, but it's matched to a series of robust, tensile guitar riffs straight from a '90s indie clip-art book, and a more directly randy lyrical bent. Opener "Jersey-O-Matic" channels the Breeders' "Last Splash" through a chintzy keyboard Cuisinart and a bunch of beguiling "ba-ba-ba"s from Sharp; it will likely surface as the soundtrack to some ridiculously hip fashion show. The tracks for "Winter in Hell" and "The Skank" are more laconic, with loopy basslines trudging along underneath simplistic drum triggers. But Sharp mumbles naughty nothings in our ear like a distracted girlfriend trying to incite jealousy. She sleeps with the boss in "Hell"; "Skank" recounts the details of an after-hours debauchery fest whose lights never reach the street. "18 to party/21 to drink...Crusty old men/And college girls on crank." There's a bit of Peaches in Sharp's delivery and subject matter -- there's ...

With those of you familiar with Butch era PENANCE (USA Classic Doom), you already know how great his vocals are and those of you who aren’t will learn soon. ARGUS, a new and hungry band from the USA are very well versed with the Maryland Doom Metal and Epic Heavy Metal scene. They released a very well written Demo in 2007 on John Brenner’s Bland Hand Records as a download. For those of you that loved the Demo like I did, this is what you would expect their full length to sound and then some! THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG fans are going to go absolutely nuts over this album for the sheer volume of twin axe guitar shredding ...
