This is the first record that I've gotten excited about for a long time. Part of the trouble is that my music library is so vast that I have a hard time giving the songs I already have the listening that they deserve. One of the latest bands that I really latched on to is Stabilo - a band out of Vancouver (if I remember correctly). They had one fairly big hit song called "Everybody" which I really liked. I saw them play in Edmonton at Klondike days, and picked up one of their cds when they were called "Stabilo Boss". I fell in love with their music then, and since then have listened to the two discs I have from them regularly.

I had wondered what happened to them recently since they haven't released a CD in a long time. Thankfully, they're still around and they released a new single recently called "Flawed Design". I got a chance to listen to it today, and it's simply awesome. What I love about Stabilo is they aren't afraid to write a whole bunch of really cool lyrics. The songs have cool rhythms, singable melodies and some harmonics you don't hear a lot in rock music.

All in all, I'm really impressed with the new song and I'm gonna go buy the new cd "Happiness and Disaster" as soon as it hits stores. I think that's on the 4th of April.
