If It Means a Lot to You- A Day To Remember

This is another piece of youtube gold. I found this song by sifting once more through my recommended videos.
A Day to Remember was formed in Ocala, Florida in 2003 by Tom Denny and Bobby Scruggs. Both had been in several bands before, but sensed unusual potential in their new partnership. Today, Scruggs has been replaced on drums by Alex Shellnut, and Denny has left the spotlight to be with family and his solo work. Although Denny still aids in song writing, ADTR (as they are known to acronym-loving fans) consists of Jeremy McKinnon (singer), Neil Westfall (guitar), Joshua Woodard (bass), and Scruggs. To Date, they have released five albums: And Their Name was Treason (2005), For Those Who Have Heart (2007), Old Record (2008), Homesick (2009), and What Seperates Me from You (2010). Their music is categorized as rock, but best known for it's songs mixing punk-pop and metalcore.
If you would like to sample some of these favorites, I recommend 'You Should Have Killed Me When You Had The Chance,' and 'Have Faith In Me.'

Louder Than Thunder - The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada was formed in 2005 in Dayton, Ohio. They are a metal-core Christian band.The band still is not part of MTV media we all know so well. As one band member posted on their official website,  "To any one thing we might be going "mainstream", you're sadly mistaken!" The Devil Wears Prada has several albums out: Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (2006),  Plagues (2007), and With Roots Above and Branches Below (2009).
A lot of people will see the band's name and think back to movie/book by the same title. When asked about it, the band replied that they had taken the name indeed from the book. They believed a theme central to the storyline was the evils of materialism. As it turns out, the book had none of this theme in it. However, after acknowledgement of the initial misunderstanding, they kept the name with the justification that "It's the same concept as our lyrics 'emeralds hold no hope' and many others. What we believe it to mean is that possessions don't matter at all and someday everyone will realize that this is true. When standing before God, he won't care about your sweet Prada scarf or Gucci shoes or whatever. It's a Christian reasoning for the name, we didn't name it to attempt at being fashionable or whatever, " given by Micheal Hranica.
'Louder Than Thunder' is a departure from their typical metal sound in order to highlight their more melodic talents. Anyone who says that scream vocalists only do so because they can't sing, has just been proven wrong. If you liked this song, and are looking for something heavier, I suggest 'Hey John, What's Your Name Again?'

Stereophonics - Dakota

The Welsh rock band Stereophonics is relatively well known in the UK. The band was formed in 1992 in Cwmaman, Wales and has since then released seven studio albums. Five of those have topped the UK Album Charts. Their first album, Word Gets Around, charted in at number six almost overnight. Over the years, the band has earned ten top-ten singles. The song “Dakota” made it to number one in 2005.

“Dakota” is different from the band’s usual sound. This eighties influenced track is meant to bring you back to carefree summer days of just “laying back, head in the grass”. It’s about remembering first love and basking in the memories of it – five minutes of pure nostalgia.
