The record label, Fueled by Ramen, has quickly become my replacement for Wind-Up Records. Back when I was at school at the University of Iowa, Wind-Up Records seemed to be the force behind the majority of the new bands I was beginning to enjoy. I haven't heard much of anything recently that has really sparked my interest coming from Wind-Up.
On the other hand, Fueled by Ramen has introduced me to Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, Panic! At The Disco, and most recently, Paramore. The thing about these bands - and the bands on Wind-Up - is their similar sounding records. It's a type of music that you are following. I like that; it makes it easy to find records you know you will enjoy.
Today, on my way out to Best Buy, I heard the new single from Paramore, Misery Business. Immediately I knew, having never heard the song, or even of the band before that moment, that they were signed with Fueled by Ramen. It was just that type, that sound that got me excited about discovering a new band. Turns out the song on the radio is from the upcoming album, Riot!, in stores June 12, 2007. I did happen to find, and purchase, the band's first album, All We Know is Falling. It was a great cross of female vocals and that rockin' Ramen sound. It's an album worth your listen if you, too, are Fueled by Ramen.

From "devil's music" to Fall Out Boy? Are you mellowing in your old age, my friend?
Mellowing? How about evolving...heh. Yeah, maybe I just miss those days of being a rebelious 12 year old. Have I de-evolved? Is it possible?
I can't believe you listen to that crap. I only like Panic! and the really old Fall Out Boy.
I've heard the new Paramore and it didn't really do it for me. Of course my ears bleed from the music I prefer so my hearings a little off...
Or, you just don't have any taste...to each his own, I suppose.
