Their Planes Will Block Out The Sun

Their Planes Will Block Out The Sun…

Sounds like a cool name for a book or movie, right? Well they’re actually a band from New Jersey, and they have a new single that I would like to share with you.

From the press release: The band have been hard at work on a combination of new and recrafted material, for their second album “Brasil,” their most polished to date. Each musician brings his own inspiration and life experiences to the new album, which collaboratively gives wake to a new sound. The band hopes their music will awake feelings of rediscovery and joy in their audience—and, in turn, give way to personal narratives like in the single “The Hunter”, a song about holding on to your happy moments while struggling with adversity, yet at the same time, finding hope in it.

So there you have it… If you like what you hear and want to catch them live, you have a great opportunity coming up that will also contribute to a good cause. They’re playing Public Assembly in Brooklyn on November 18th as part of Whatever Blog’s benefit for Hurricane Sandy victims.

Switchfoot New Single Announced

With the success of their first single “Mess of Me” fresh in their minds, Switchfoot has announced that their new single will be The Sound. Here is the message they sent their fans:


Thanks to all of you who helped get ‘Mess Of Me’ to #12 on the
Alternative Rock Chart. This is a tremendous accomplishment, and you all played a huge role in the song’s success.Our next single is going to be “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues)”, and the official release date at radio is April 26th. Here’s what Jon
had to say about the song: “The Sound (John Perkin’s Blues) is a very important song
for us as a band. I see so much hatred and fear around me, I see so many people living
out their pain. I hear it on the radio. I see it in the headlines. John Perkin’s story needs
to be heard. This song was inspired by a man who sang a louder song than hatred. In
a world where we are defined by our differences, Mr. Perkin’s life of service and
compassion is a tangible demonstration of what it means to live a life of love. Love is
the loudest song we could sing. Louder than racism. Louder than fear. Louder than
hatred. John Perkin’s said it right, love is the final fight. We’re excited to hear this song
on the radio, louder than pain.” Let’s do this!

And here is the video for that single:
