Smile, you're beautiful.

So today is Pittsburgh Warped and I'm missing it for the second year in a row. UGHHH. I'm really bored right now so I thought I would share with you some bands that I'm currently obessed with. Sound good?

1. The Downtown Fiction

This 3 piece altertnative punk-pop rock band from Fairfax, VA are seriously some of the nicest guys I have ever talked to. I've never talked to a band that has loved their fans more than they have. They're always looking for new places to play at so check their myspace and leave them a comment if you want them to play in your area! They check it daily and will respond. :) If you don't have a myspace, but still want them to play in your area, you can talk to them on AIM. You can buy their 6 song EP for only $3.99 and an acoustic single for $.99. You won't be disspointed if you buy it. I promise.TONIGHT at 7pm EST they will be posting a new song on their myspace. AND at 8pm EST, they will be live on stickam. So what happens if you miss the stickam, but still want to talk them. Don't worry! Here are their AIM's.

2. We Shot The Moon

This 5 piece piece indie - pop rock band from San Diego recently got singed to afternoon records and have released their new single 'The Bright Side'. So go buy it! If you like their other songs, but don't have any more money on iTunes (I HATE it when that happnens...), you can download their album Fear & Love for FREEE! This band is already amazing and they're giving you their album for free. You don't meet that many bands that do that.. Just sayingg. I downloaded it, and it's really good. Jonathan and the piano together is just beautiful. :) They're playing a couple shows in the mid-west this summer so go see them if they come to your area! *If you're going to be in Plano, Texas on July 12th, they'll be playing at the Plano Summerfest with Forever The Sickest kids and many more bands.  But if you won't, you can leave them a comment on their myspace or twitter telling them to play in your area. But what if you don't have either? No worries. You can still talk to them on AIM (wstmband). They're really nice!

3. Colin Healy And The Jet Skis

This 5 piece indie-pop rock band from Richmond, VA is mainly based on Colin's vocals/piano. What can I say? I'm a sucker for guys who can sing and play the piano. Haha. You can buy their album for $4.95 on iTunes. They are currently doing an east coast tour with Running With Giants and Spinlight City. If you want them to play in your city, you can leave them a comment on their myspace, or buzznet account. I pratically live on buzznet so it's always fun talking to them. They respond but it takes some time. They actually won that skittles contest, so they got a van with the money and now their on tour. So thank you to everyone who buzzed their video. I'm so happy that they're finally touring. :D

4. Artist vs. Poet

I've actually liked this band for a while, but not alot of people have heard of them so I thought I'd write about them. This powerpop-rock band from Dallas, Texas singed to Fearless Records (The Maine, Every Avenue, The Morning Light, Breathe Carolina..) last year and released a 5 song EP, which you can buy on iTunes for $3.99. Check them out on myspace or buzznet and leave them a comment if you want them to play in your city. Usually they respond but it make take a while. AVP will be touring with Jeffree Star at the end of the summer. It seems kinda random, but who cares. At least they're touring and getting known. *They're looking for a merch guy so if you're 18 or older, male, and have experience touring, check out their blog.

5. Runner Runner

So, I've been listening to this band for a couple weeks and I've had all their songs stuck in my head. You will fall in love with this 5 piece rock-pop-electro band from Huntington Beach, CA. I was actually really suprised to find that they weren't signed.The guitarist and vocalist, Nick is actually Zack's brother from ATL. Runner Runner is currently on tour with The Higher and The Audition. If you want them to in your city, you can leave them a comment on their myspace or buzznet account. I think they're looking to play some more shows on the east coast so let them know if you want them to play in your city . They recently released their Summer EP for $4.95. It just makes me want to dance and relax at the same time. Haaha. Ryan's vocals are just calming. You can also talk to them on AIM (ryanrunnerrunner, peterunnerrunner, nickrunnerrunner, jonrunnerrunner, runnerdrumrunner). They always respond. :)

You know you want to, go listen to these bands and buy their albums. You won't be dissapointed. I promise.

peacee,
