Faber Drive

This group was discovered by a member of Nickleback and consists of four members. Their sound is a mixture of pop and punk and they come from Mission, British Columbia. Dave Faber is the lead vocalist of the group and plays the rhythm guitar. Jeremy Liddle plays bass and does backing vocals. Jordan Pritchett plays lead guitar and also does backing vocals. Andrew Stricko is on drums and does backing vocals. I think that the first time I heard them was when I was searching through random YouTube videos looking for new music. I love the sound and style that the band has. Their music is really good. My favorite song by them is You and I Tonight. The group even played on one of my favorite t.v. shows! It was awesome because they were playing and I could sing along. My Mom was giving me this look because she had never heard of them and I was sitting there singing every word.

VersaEmerge

VersaEmerge is an alternative rock group that originated in Florida. The first time I ever heard them was when I was watching one of my favorite t.v. shows, World of Jenks. They used the term versa, coming from vice versa, meaning opposite. They took emerge meaning to rise up. Then they combined the two to become VersaEmerge. I love their sound and now have several of their songs on my playlist. It was cool getting to see into the type of life the group members lead when I was watching them on t.v. I am really glad I watched that particular episode or I may have never heard them. Their lyrics and music choice are awesome. I think it would be awesome to be able to go and see them play live someday. They play at tons of different tours and I would love to go see them.

Skillet

This band currently consists of three members since their fourth member recently left the group. They are a Christian rock band that was formed in Memphis, Tennessee. Current members are lead vocalist and bass player John Cooper, keyboard and rhythm guitar player Korey Cooper, and drummer and vocalist Jen Ledger. It only took one song for me to get interested in this group. The first time that I heard one of the band's songs was in my friend Katie's truck. I'm usually not as in to stuff like Christian rock but I really like the sound that Skillet has. I also think that their songs have really good lyrics. The lyric and music combo of Comatose makes it my favorite song by them. I have a pretty good amount of their music on my iPod now. I also used one of their songs for a Sociology assignment where we had to pick out a song with lyrics that describes our personality.
