Daughtry | "Leave This Town" (2nd Album)

Daughtry releases his rock band's 2nd album, "Leave This Town" today. There would be 14 songs on the record, but 5 bonus tracks in different stores. Chris cowrites with a host of mainstream rock hitmakers, including members of Lifehouse, Three Days Grace and Nickelback. “Leave This Town” is what happens when a formula turns into a cliché.

Chris Daughtry was born December 26, 1979 in North Carolina. He is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the alternative rock band 'Daughtry'. Chris became the most successful 4th-place finisher in “American Idol” history in 2006 when his self-titled debut album sold 4 million copies.

Chris's sturdy rock presence and distinctive vocal style won the hearts and minds of American Idol Season 5 fans across the globe. He is by far the fans' favorite and is consistently singled out as the most talented performer in every review of the tour: 'Daughtry proved that he's b far the most talented performer in Idol history.' by St. Petersburg Times.

My favorite singles: "Feels Like Tonight", "Home", and "It's Not Over". Find more @ daughtry's official, Facebook, and MySpace.

Green Day's New '21 Guns' Video

"21 Guns" is the 2nd single from Green Day, the pop-punk masters' 8th studio album, "21st Century Breakdown" gets an appropriately dramatic, melancholy visual treatment. The single exemplify the themes of alienation and politically-motivated anger present in the record, and it will release on July 14, 2009 as a CD single.

In the band's brand-new video clip, the guys and a young couple face a siege of gunshots in a disheveled motel room. While nothing particularly earth-shattering, the nicely-shot video does the song justice. The video is also slightly shorter than the song as the violin parts are cut out and the guitar solo was shortened by about twenty seconds. The music video was directed by Marc Webb, filmed in LA on June 6, 2009, and premiered on MySpace on June 22, 2009.

Green Day has sold over 22 million records in the US since 1987. My favorite singles from Green Day are 'Time of Your Life'(12/23/97), 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams'(1/11/05), and 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'(6/13/05).
