Bands To Watch (And/Or Look Into)

I want you to remember what I'm about to say. When you see these two artists blow-up this year, know that I predicted it. I have a well founded premonition that 2005 will go down in history as the year of Relient K and Eisley. Mark my words. I might elaborate on this at a later date, but this will have to do for now. Here's some more bands to watch for in '05:
The Roosevelts (Won't be that popular, but their new album, "It's Hard To Make A Sound", is excellent.)
Acceptance (If their new album is as good as people are saying, they'll be up there with Relient K and Eisley.)
The Evan Anthem (Only having released one album, The Evan Anthem are still one of my all time favorite bands. They are
currently working on a follow up to "Prologue", but don't expect to hear much about them.
Forever Changed (From my home town, pretty good stuff, but certainly not new or groundbreaking.)
Last Tuesday (Only listed because Matthew Thiessen is co-producing their label debut.)
Mae (I didn't connect with Mae right away, undoubtedly because I purchased their record at the same time as The Evan
Anthem's "Prologue" which may be my favorite album ever, but once I did I soon fell in love. "The Everglow", besides
being a great album name, is one of my most anticipated records of the year.)
