Chris Taylor Brown knows how to write adrenaline pumping songs. He knows how to incorporate a melodic hook along with amped-up guitars that ends up being the trademark Trapt sound. On Reborn Chris Taylor Brown’s vocals have been recorded differently than they have been in the past. It might be his voice naturally evolving or it could be an effort to make things sound more organic in the mixing process. Brown and the rest of the band reflect their live sound on this record more than previous albums too.
Take a listen to “Bring It” by TRAPT:

It sucks to be sick this time of year. Rather than sit and wallow in my misery, I’ve gathered some tunes to either help me in my suffering, share the pain with YOU, or lead me to the hope of feeling better soon.
Disturbed
Halestorm I don’t miss the misery, I embrace it!
Flyleaf Yes. I’m sick. I admit it.
Blink 182. Who couldn’t feel better listening to these guys?
AWOLNATION. When the fever hits 103 and you become delirious, perhaps THIS will cool you down.
Rumor has it this plague lasts five days. Do you have any other musical healing suggestions? Punkmetalmamma thanks you!
Green Day apparently misses a simpler, more analog time, judging by their new video for “X-Kid,” a song from the band’s trilogy-closing album ¡Tré! There’s not a lot to look at: the band presses play on a tape and lets it roll. WATCH

Here you go, your tax dollars hard at work. Here’s some actual footage of a first responder seminar in San Diego, Calif. The Department of Homeland Security deemed the event an allowable expense, enabling participants to use federal grant funding to pay to go.
That’s according to “Safety at Any Price: Assessing the Impact of Homeland Security Spending in U.S. Cities” a report compiled by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who chairs the investigations subcommittee of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. The report focuses on grants made by the DHS and the Urban Areas Security Initiative. Coburn says the report shows that DHS was “directing scarce dollars to low-priority project and low-risk areas.”
For complete info, READ HERE. Do you believe it? SEE IT!
Coburn found that, among other things, DHS was spending money on teaching first responders how to stop flesh-eating ghouls. The report said the event was held by the HALO Corp. “at the Paradise Point Resort & Spa on an island outside San Diego 9 (and) the 5-day summit was deemed an allowable expense by DHS, permitting first responders to use grant funds for the $1,000 entrance fee.”
