After a long hiatus, we’re back. We’ve been having problems with our hosts but we are now setup with a brand new host, and should be set for awhile. Thanks for staying tuned! Now to the music!

If you listen to WMMR here in Philadelphia, you most likely have either heard some of their songs on the radio or heard of local concerts with them performing. After only 3 years after performing their first major show as a band, they’ve come a long way. In 2004, the band had two of their songs selected to be on the soundtrack to cruel intentions 3. This major break for the band allowed them to widen their fan base, creating a surge of record sales and performances in some of the best venues on the east coast.

Their sound is sweet, but has a great alternative drive to it (take a listen to “Don’t Lie Down” by using the player on the right side of your screen). Their lyrics are well thought out, along with all of the musical pieces that combine to form a song. I feel this band is a prime example of mainstream alternative rock who knows how to put on a fantastic show for it’s crowds, performing almost every night to sold out shows.

For the first official post to ModRoc, I decided to write about a local band from my hometown. This band, although local, is known all over the Philadelphia region by teens as being an amazing band, both live and recorded. Capitol Risk mold together sounds from Mae, Jimmy Eat World, and obviously many other rock and non-rock influences. In my book, this band is a true winner and it should not be long before they have a recording contract.

Had I not lived in this area and never met a few of the members of the band, I probably would’ve never guessed they were just teenagers. Their crisp lyrics, sweet harmony, tight guitar and perfectly fitting drums grasp the listener into the music.

This band had a big break lately, being able to play at one of the tour stops of the Warped Tour here in PA. Honestly, I’d give this band 2 years till they hit it big. All the guys in this band have a big future ahead of them.
