Today's Pick

Canadian Pop punk band Marianas Trench have recently released a music video for "Haven't Had Enough," the first single off of their upcoming album, "Ever After," which is expected to be released sometime in early fall, and according to bassist Mike Ayley says is a preview of the theme of the band's new album, and it's this dark fairy tale Tim Burton kind of story. TheMagazine.ca called the song "somewhat different from their previous material, though it still has the 'Marianas Trench feel'."
Marianas Trench have yet to crack the worldwide or U.S. markets, but their music pops like few other bands' thanks to their combination of a pop-punk lyrical aesthetic, dance-rock synths and beats, a theatrical sensibility complete with searing charismatic vocals, and songwriting that exhibits a talent for knowing exactly how to keep the listener's attention. Their last full length release, "Masterpiece Theatre" caught much attention.
"Haven't Had Enough" tempers the rock guitars of "Masterpiece Theatre" in favor of a cross between Maroon 5 and Foxy Shazam. The lyrics speak of a couple who "got the start wrong;" despite this, the narrator insists that "you haven't had enough," and that "you must admit you want it" again. The song is circular in nature, beginning negatively and ending positively. You can almost hear lead singer Josh Ramsay wrongly convincing himself of this fact as he rips through the song and it's entrancing. This is pop music that pops.
The video for track tells the story of a guy chasing his love through time, and nothing will stop him, not pirates, pharaohs, or zombies! "Haven't Had Enough" was filmed in Vancouver and dressed in various costumes to be extras in the video. Ramsay is trapped in a magically evil toy world ruled by a Wicked Princess, populated by her life-sized toy-like minions and he just doesn't know it yet until the end, when it's too late and she manages to turn him into one of her life-size toys as well.
