New Tooth & Nail Records Sampler!

No, your eyes do not deceive – there is indeed a new Tooth & Nail Records sampler out!  It’s called Tooth & Nail Records Bamboozle 2010 Sampler, and will be available until May 16th.  The tracklisting:

1. The Almost – “Hands”
2. The Classic Crime – “Solar Powered Life”
3. Secret & Whisper – “Warrior (Southern Arrowwood)”
4. Queens Club – “Less Talk”
5. Write This Down – “Renegade”
6. Sent By Ravens – “New Fire”
7. Poema – “2 A.M.”
8. Fair – “Disappearing World”
9. To Speak of Wolves – “Darkness Often Yields the Brightest Light”
10. Oh Sleeper – “Son of the Morning”
11. Number One Gun – “Forest”
12. Emery – “Edge of the World”
13. Living Sacrifice – “Rules of Engagement”
14. MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE – “Faithless”
15. Inhale Exhale – “Did You Ever Have  A Touch To Lose?”
16. Advent – “Pack of Fools”
17. Gwen Stacy – “The First Words”
18. Demon Hunter – “Collapsing”
19. Since October – “The Show”
20. The Letter Black – “Hanging On By A Thread”
21. Mae – “In Pieces”

As you can see, it’s a pretty sweet list of tunes – there’s only one song from last year’s Fuel sampler included, and out of the 21 songs I’ve only seen two available anywhere before.  That’s impressive, and the songs are just as impressive.  I’d recommend Fair, Poema, and Secret & Whisper in particular, though really, I’m enjoying nearly all of the songs on here.  Don’t miss out!

Fuel Returns (And Matt’s Head Explodes)

It’s true – Tooth & Nail and Solid State Records have let loose yet another unbelievably epic sampler to wreck musically chaos on the eardrums of fans everywhere.  In fact, the only thing that could come close to touching this is the last Fuel sampler.  The tracklist:

• Surrogate – “Exercise Machines”
• Living Sacrifice – “Overkill Exposure (Rough Mix)”
• Haste the Day – “68″
• As Cities Burn – “84′ Sheepdog”
• Children 18:3 – “All My Balloons”
• FM Static – “Boy Moves To A New Town With Optimistic Outlook”
• Thousand Foot Krutch – “Bring Me To Life”
• Emery – “Cutthroat Collapse”
• Ivoryline – “Days End”
• mewithoutYou – “Every Thought A Thought of You”
• The Crucified – “The Pit”
• MxPx – “Punk Rock Girl”
• The Ascendicate – “Scottish”
• Oh, Sleeper – “Son of the Morning”
• August Burns Red – “Thirty and Seven”
• Becoming The Archetype – “Dichotomy”
• Copeland – “The Grey Man”
• Hawk Nelson – “Let’s Dance (Dojo Dominating Remix)”
• Showbread – “Nothing Matters Anymore”
• MyChildren MyBride – “On The Wings of Integrity”
• Neon Horse – “Strange Town”
• Corey Crowder – “Look How Far We’ve Come”
• Trenches – “Sacrament”
• The Showdown – “[Achilles] The Backbreaker”
• And Then There Were None – “Reinventing Robert Cohn”
• Family Force 5 – “Fever”
• Jonezetta – “Sick In The Teeth”
• Since October – “Guilty”
• The Chariot – “Daggers”
• Underoath – “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures”
• Secret & Whisper – “Anchors (Acoustic)”

If that doesn’t get you pumped up for this, I don’t know what will.  Well, besides the fact that the Showbread and Oh, Sleeper songs are brand new, never-before-heard.  They aren’t even on MySpace yet.  Extremely epic, and a must-have.

Of course, that’s not to say that it’s perfect.  The cover art is a little creepy, and the website mentions a song from The Almost, which wasn’t in my .zip file.  I won’t be surprised if there’s an update with the song in it soon enough.  Even so, those are minor details.  Get this, right, now.  Seriously.  Do it.  Now:

Now that I’ve got that out of the way, I’m totally digging the Children 18:3, FM Static, and Ivoryline right now, great stuff, and I’m not nearly through the sampler yet.  What are your favorite songs?
