5 Albums That Influenced Sworn In

Today’s feature of “5 Albums That Influenced Me” comes from Sworn In. The band will release their debut record, The Death Card which will be out on August 20th.

Tyler Dennen (Vocals)

Thrice (Beggars): One of my all time favorite CDs, every single part flows together perfectly and is seamless to listen to.

Panic! At the Disco (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out): It’s a record that you can sing from start to finish and know every line. I love that.

My Chemical Romance (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge): Probably my all time favorite CD, it really just flawless in my opinion, and the song structure and lyric structure influence me a lot

Linkin Park (Meteora): Another CD from my childhood, the way that that band makes you feel emotionally just from the way it sounds is something I’ve always wanted to do

From First To Last (Heroine): This CD is the most disturbing cd to listen to in my opinion, It makes me feel insane and uneasy, which is what I wanted to Death Card to feel like too

Zakary Gibson (Guitar)

The Mars Volta (De-Loused In The Comatorium):
The perfect CD, every instrument works together perfectly to create huge hard hitting sections along with beautiful chorus’, the lyrics are amazing and all of the atmospheric textures makes it a trip to listen to. Basically everything good about music in one CD.
 
Deftones (Around The Fur):
Perfect all the way through (just like every other Deftones album), Stef’s guitar work is simply amazing, creating such hard hitting melodies while being the only guitarist is something I always try to accomplish when writing.

Glassjaw (Coloring Book):
This album speaks for itself, the best release by Glassjaw yet, it’s the perfect mold of melody, technicality, and just overall weird.

Coldplay (Parachutes):
An album I still listen to daily, the guitar work is fantastic and most of the songs on this album have a super dark vibe which I really really love.

Meshuggah (Catch 33):
A CD that’s essentially just one amazing riff over and over again, yet they still find a way to make it interesting, that’s true musicianship. Everything Meshuggah does is gold, but this is on top.

Chris George (Drums)

Klaus Nomi - Simple Man: The most amazing performer to live.

As Tall As Lions - (Self Titled): If there was a band that was an exact depiction of everything I love about music this is it. This band’s music takes you elsewhere and is a trip in itself.

Minus The Bear - Infinity Overhead: My favorite band throughout high school. This record was as if they captured the best elements of every single album they put out and put it all in one record. Another band that’s a depiction of everything right in music.

Slipknot - (self titled): A million fucking years ahead of its time. All the “heavy” bands now need to listen to this and realize low tuning and the “1-0” chord doesn’t make you heavy.

Meshuggah - all albums: I couldn’t choose one album because every single album is so vividly different and insane in it’s own way. This is another band that was years ahead of their time and knows how to make legitimate heavy music that a whole stadium could bang their heads to but musicians could spend hours trying to comprehend. Definitely my all time favorite metal band.

Mike Pedicone speaks on his firing from My Chemical Romance

Mike Pedicone has spoken out on his recent dismissal from My Chemical Romance. As he writes to Kerrang!:

"To the media, my colleagues in the music industry, and, most importantly, the fans of My Chemical Romance.

As many of you have heard by now, on Thursday evening I was let go as the touring drummer for MCR. The ensuing hours have been difficult for many reasons, but particularly because the actions that led to my dismissal have been twisted and misinterpreted via rumour mongering on the internet. With this, I’d like to put the rumours to rest.

Almost as soon as I began touring with MCR I ran into problems with a member of the band’s crew who I’ll not name. The problems were many, big and small, but some of them were large enough that they began to greatly impact me and, by extension, my family. I’d reached my wits’ end, and I made what was certainly the poorest decision of my life. Rather than address the issues that I had with the crew member in an open and honest manner, I tried to make them look irresponsible. My intention was to make this person look incompetent. I had no intention of profiting whatsoever. Again, I cannot overstate how poor my judgment was in this situation; it was a tremendous mistake, and it’s one I’ll regret for years to come.

I would have liked an opportunity to share my side of the story with MCR, an opportunity to express my remorse. I was never given one.

I’d like to thank MCR’s members, crew, and supporters for giving me some of the best musical experiences of my life in the past several months. However brief our partnership, it was an honour and a dream come true to play with such a talented bunch of individuals. I wish MCR the best of luck in the future, and I’m looking forward to my next endeavour.

Thank you, Michael Pedicone.”

Pedicone was fired last week under accusations of stealing from the band; he has since been temporarily replaced by former Suicide File/Death By Stereo drummer Jarrod Alexander.

The Story of My Chemical Romance (BBC Radio 1's Stories)

In October 2010, Radio 1 went to My Chemical Romance’s comeback show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. One of the fans that day loved the band so much, we asked her to make a documentary about them - and this is the result. Flossi Gibson presents her story of My Chemical Romance.
