Futile: 7 Nightmares

Alternative progressive four piece from Germany. With the influx of generic alternative rock bands, it's hard to find bands (famous or not) that conform to the norm yet still stand out. Futile is one of the few bands that can do this. Truth be told, they do sound like just another rock/alternative band on the horizon, but some of their songs are quite good and worth checking out. Think German, slightly unrefined version of Staind, with a little bit more progressive.

All you really have to do is come up with as many words as possible from the given letters and you are good to go. Even though it may seem like it, the game is actually fun to play even if you are not a total geek.

MISERY: Misery

Spanish pop rock trio with sexy, girly vocals. Misery is full length self titled debut of the band with the same name. It's made up of 10 tracks that's essentially pop rock indie music. Misery, the album, was created as a way to showcase the different facets of the band's music. Although the awkward enunciation can become annoying in instances, there are several key tracks in the album that are pretty good. Vocals are sensual while the melodies and rhythm are pretty catchy.
