I'm not too fond of 2 of the 3 songs available on that site (Eternal Rest and Darkness Surrounding), but Chapter Four is a really good song. I suggest you find a way to listen to Second Heartbeat, Lips of Deceit, I Won't See You Tonight pt. 2, and We Come Out At Night.

Feederz

Feederz are a punk group from Arizona, they date back to the late 1970s, and are still going strong to this day. They are furiously political, and have a very different sound. They don't sound like your typical punk band, as they are very quirky. They have been pictured in my signature before, if anybody remembers the picture of a bald man with a guitar named "Frank Discussion". Frank Discussion has been known for wearing odd accessories while on stage ranging from a dead cat around his neck to an army coat covered in insects.

Billy Childish

Billy Childish has been going strong for 25+ years, and has recorded hundreds of albums with various bands. Billy Childish has done it all ranging from punk with the Pop Rivets, garage with Thee Headcoats and Thee Milkshakes, and blues with the Buff Medways. This also doesn't take into account the other projects he's worked on with other groups, or his many poems and spoken words. I really can't think of any other artist out there that has been so diligent in releasing material. Billy Childish also suffers from severe dyslexia which makes his story even more remarkable. He also was pictured in my signature in the early stages of my EWB membership.

Nightwish are OK, but aren't as good as Lacuna Coil in the battle of the Female Fronted Metal bands.

Billy Talent is a great band but hardly any one outside of Canada knows who they are. There are so many great bands in Canada but not very many people outside of this country get to hear them.

Billy Talent are OK, consdering I'm not a massive fan of the genre they fall into.
