LOVE IN ATHENS
Love In Athens is one Francis Maria Regalado, vocalist for the filipino hardcore band Caitlyn Bailey. So far, he has two EPs under this moniker.And I must say, I like this better than his previous solo project (Dead Chasing Daylight). He crafts catchy instrumental pop gems that work well even though they have no vocals. Bordering on post-rock, the songs have enough hooks behind the dreamy soundscapes to satisfy any lover of pop music. This is the kind of music you would want to listen to during a road trip, or a day at the park.
I will post one of the two EPs here, and yes, I have persmission from the man himself. You could also download it for free on his myspace. Listen to the music. Add him as a friend. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Who knows, he might make a song about you.

The Birthday Party
Nick Cave is probably one of the best storytellers alive today. From his stuff with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, to his solo-cum-Bad Seeds spin-off Grinderman, and to his screenplay for the amazing film "The Proposition". His stories about life, love, death, redemption. always hit a chord with listeners, readers, and viewers. This is the stuff he did before forming the Bad Seeds. Good stuff. The music, abrasive and dark, fits with Cave's songwriting. Definitely far from the Bad Seeds stuff, but the same vision and is just as good. This band is definitely one in a million. The best post-punk band ever, in my opinion. Cave, amazing guitarist Rowland S. Howard, multi-instrumentalist and Bad Seed Mick Harvey, the late Tracy Pew, and drummer Phil Calvert... the main men. Geniuses in their own right. We will never see another band like them ever again. So this is what having a mental breakdown sounds like.The Birthday Party - Prayers On Fire
