Covers Revue, Vol. 27 – The Used and My Chemical Romance cover "Under Pressure" :: Originally by Queen and David Bowie
One of the greatest collaborations of all time has to be Queen and David Bowie with their recording of “Under Pressure.” Combining one of the biggest bands of the 70s/80s with one of the biggest musicians of the 70s/80s seemed like a good idea at the time … and it still is! The classic is …
Story of the Year :: The Constant
I still remember where I was when I heard Story of the Year’s debut single, “Until the Day I Die.” The song thrust the St. Louis band onto the screamo/post-hardcore scene, competing with the likes of The Used and Taking Back Sunday.
The Best (and Worst) Albums of 2009, According to Sara
Well, it’s that time of year. Everybody is compiling their lists of Top What-Nots. As for me, I’ve never done such a thing. Such a thing is foreign to me. Listing things from descending order of awesomest to crappiest? That’s too much thinking! But for you, ETSers, anything. 2009 was a great year of discovering …
Covers Revue, Vol. 21 – Mike Ness covers "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)" :: Originally by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan. Many will agree that that name is synonymous with “influential musician.” Mike Ness certainly believes so, as he delves more into his Country roots with his debut solo, Cheating at Solitaire. The Social Distortion singer/songwriter pays homage to Dylan with his cover of “Don’t Think Twice (It’s All Right).” Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think …

I’m going to be straight up with you right now. We are going to be venturing into a bit of the “emo” and “hardcore” compounds this week. But that doesn’t mean you should stop reading.

Say Anything :: "Say Anything"
I used to be a huge fan of the Los Angeles band Say Anything. Key word: “used.” I’ve seen them about 4 or 5 times and every time, they’ve proven to be a great show, especially with a performer in lead singer Max Bemis. Unfortunately, their sophomore release ” … Is A Real Boy” was so good in my mind that nothing ever could compare to it.
Covers Revue, Vol. 15 – Sugar Ray covers "Abracadabra" :: Originally by the Steve Miller Band
If you’re a regular visitor to Enter The Shell, you may already know about my love for Sugar Ray thanks to a previous blog. Despite what you may think, I didn’t choose to review a Sugar Ray cover merely for the fact that I’d be able to look at pictures of Mark McGrath. No, no. …
