Falling In Reverse

"If we are born to die,
And we all die to live,
Then what's the point of living life,
If it just contradicts?"  - 'The Drug In Me Is You', Falling In Reverse

This quote is from one of my new favorite bands, Falling in Reverse. I am addicted to their CD. The songs are extremely catchy.

My favorites are 'I'm Not A Vampire', 'The Drug In Me Is You', and 'Raised By Wolves'.

On their Album The Drug in Me is You are the songs 'Tragic Magic', 'I'm Not A Vampire', 'Good Girls And Bad Guys', 'Pick Up The Phone', 'Don't Mess With Ouiji Boards', 'Sink or Swim', 'Caught Like A Fly', 'Goodye Graceful', 'The Westerner', 'The Drug In Me Is You', and 'Raised By Wolves'.

They are definately worth checking out. :) 

Top Religious Rock Bands

Now, unless you saw the label iTunes gives these bands "Relgious Rock" you wouldn't know that these were religious bands .... or at least I didn't.

Consuming fire!" - Whispers in the Dark Whispers In The Dark Lyric Video

Odd Rock
