I'm having bit of a writer's block lately and I can't think of anything to post about. :( With that being said, the only thing I'm able to post about and think of is Music Mondays. I know, you guys are probably getting sick of all my Music Mondays since I've been doing one right after another. I am very sorry to anyone that is annoyed by this but I can't help it, I'm trying to keep up with my posts and this is the only way I can until I get over this damn block. Today's Music Mondays is the band My Darkest Days. Now this is a band that's more my style! ;) How I came across this band is actually kinda funny. I work in a jewelry store and my manager asked me if I wanted to listen to her "theme song." I thought why the hell not?! We're slow and I'm bored. She pulls out her Iphone 4 and shows me the music video to her song which was "Porn star Dancing" by My Darkest Days. I was in awe watching that music video cause it was pretty damn sexy and the song, WOWZA!
I giggled at the fact that my manager said this was her theme song cause I thought Bitch please, this is MY theme song! After all I wanted to be a stripper when I was 7 years old. Bahahaha! Good times. As you all know, or should know cause I swear I've mentioned it ass loads of times on here. I have really, really bad O.C.D. and it triggers to things that I like. I.E. Movies, Actors, Bands, Songs etc. So when I heard this song I became obsessed with it and the band. I got home and did my usual stalking routine and found another music video from MDD which was "Move your Body." Screw "Porn star Dancing", THIS is my theme song. Even though I adore "Porn star Dancing" for all the obvious reasons, "Move Your Body" fits more with my personality which is why I have declared "Move your Body" the theme song of Jenny Krueger. The song and music video is dark, sexy and stylish. Just the way I like it!! :D
***My Darkest Days is a Canadian rock band based in Toronto, consisting of lead singer Matt Walst, lead guitarist Sal Costa, Bassist Brendan McMillan, Drummer Doug Oliver, and keyboardist Reid Henry. They were discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, who signed them up for his production company, 604 Records.
The band was founded by Matt Walst in 2005, who was born in Norwood, Ontario, and whose older brother, Brad Walst, is the bassist for Three Days Grace. Instead of playing in his brother's band, Matt decided to form one of his own with his friends Brendan McMillan on bass guitar, Doug Oliver on drums, and Chris McMillan on lead guitar. Chris McMillan was later replaced by Paulo Neta. In 2009, a friend introduced Walst to Toronto–based singer–guitarist Sal Costa, who later became the band's guitarist, replacing Paulo Neta, who became the guitarist for Thornley. My Darkest Days has opened for many bands, including Three Days Grace, Default, Theory of a Deadman, Skillet, Papa Roach, and Hinder.
My Darkest Days won a contest called Rock Search put on by 97.7fm in St. Catharines, Ontario in 2008 with "Every Lie". This gave them time in a recording studio publicity in Niagara, Ontario.
When Chad Kroeger heard My Darkest Days' music, he was so impressed he immediately signed them to his record label. The first song they wrote after being signed was "Porn Star Dancing," which became their first single. Kroeger decided he wanted to be featured on it, along with a friend of his, Zakk Wylde, lead vocalist and lead guitarist for Black Label Society and a former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne. Kroeger and Wylde both appear in the video, which was filmed at the Hard Rock Las Vegas Vanity nightclub. There is also a remix of the single featuring American rapper Ludacris. On their official Facebook page, My Darkest Days announced their debut eponymous album was to be released on September 21, 2010. On that album, the song "Set It on Fire" features Australian singer/guitarist Orianthi on lead guitar, known from her work with Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, and Michael Jackson. Also on the album is a collaboration with country-pop singer Jessie James, on the song "Come Undone".
The Saw 3D soundtrack released on October 26, 2010 features the single "The World Belongs to Me."
My Darkest Days was named the “Best New Band of 2010” by hardDriveXL after hitting the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks ranking, as well as #1 on FMQB’s Active Rock list. It was announced on their Facebook page that they will be entering the studio in October 2011 with Joey Moi of Mountain View records to start writing new material for their next album. My Darkest Days’ first major–label single, “Porn Star Dancing,” went gold in Canada last month.
