Last night on the way back from my friends place, i was shuffling through my best friends music (i can almost never finish an entire song!) and i came across 'citizen cope'. i'd never heard of them before. and i mean i had actually never heard of them before - most times i think iv never heard of a band, but eventually, once the songs starts, it turns out i know of them . but citizen cope was to me a completely 'new' band. your probably wondering why im rambling on and on about how i first heard them.. but for me the process of finding something new is sometimes cooler than the thing itself (not in this case though!).. but anyways, because i had never heard of them before, i had no expectations or preconceived notions about how they might be... and so it was with a truly unbiased and open mind that i heard them... if you love music you probably understand what im getting at...
ANYWAYS getting down to the music itself.. they are brilliant! if i had to say what genre they fall under, id have to say soft rock.. but thats being very generalist's.. they range all the way from punk rock to jazz-ish to classic rock (im talking santana, eric clapton... not kiss, megadeath.. - they aren't metal).. okay, im saying this with caution, but if you are a clapton-FOB-killers fan ('coz im all of those!) you will love this guy...
my favorite songs are - bullet and a target, let the drummer kick, when the sun comes up, sideways, fame, night becomes day. ('if theres love' is slightly pop-ish.. its k)
just give these guys a shot (if you haven't already) .. for some reason i feel responsible to get the word out about them! my missionary task, if you will! (without the brutality and violence!) cheers!

if you like them, then you should check out black label society-every album has a different sound, so make sure you hear at least two songs off every album.
