Two Albums for the Price of None!

If you think my post-card (yes I spelt it that way on purpose) idea was lame or you don't have a digital camera at hand, here's another Mother's Day project you can do if your mom loves unknown rock bands.

The Filthy Youth and Allegiance to the Fire have made their demos available for free on their MySpace Music profiles just in time for Mother's Day, so get those CD-Rs ready.

The Filthy Youth comes from the land of Princes William and Harry. If one of the singers in the band looks familiar, it's probably because he's the debonair, yet debauchery-loving Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl (Ed Westwick).

The band's sound has an Arctic Monkeys feel to it, as do some of their song titles: Come Flash All Your Ladies. (Oh so filthy!)

Allegiance to the Fire hails from the City of Angels.

The band is able to do what many LA bands do so well, blend different sounds and make it sound good. If their E.P. is any indication, they will have us all pledging allegiance to the fire pretty soon.
