Don’t Die Cindy
Don’t Die Cindy from Panama City, Florida provides some straightforward pop/rock with "Us and Them" ( Most Imperfect Skies 2006, Cake Records). The group is described as fitting into the Emo genre, as well as the rock and progressive genres. If nothing else, Don’t Die Cindy does make each song in the collection different, if not unique.
A good example might be "The World Was Never Mine" which employs nice sound effects laid over the drum track. This may be the best song from the group, though that, of course, is always a matter of opinion. It would be easy to lump Don’t Die Cindy with a number of other young guy bands, but in this case the vocals and the creativity that helps define individual songs keep the music from becoming a musical blur of fast-paced, boy-angst ballads. "Green Room" has some British pop taste, especially in the guitar chord treatment that separates the two halves of the song.
Touring begins February 29 for Don’t Die Cindy, with a show in Pensacola and March 1 show in Ocala. The band moves out of its home state to Marietta, Georgia and then travels to North Carolina, Louisiana and Arkansas through March 19.

Their name really throws me off, and took me a minute to get used to, but I normally don’t hold the names of bands against people.
Anyhow, these guys aren’t too shabby. Pretty much the sound I would expect from a Floridian band with the pretty acoustics and nice lead guitar riffs. And thank goodness the lead vocalist doesn’t try to emulate the whiny vocals you hear so much of these days. In fact the high notes he hits are pretty amazing and bring a lot to songs such as “Green Room”. In fact if I had to choose a personal favorite I would go with “Green Room”. I’d love to see these guys in concert. I wonder why they are moving to Marietta Ga though? lived there for several years and it is not really known for its jumpin’ music scene.

Wow, I’d love to see these guys in concert one day. They really know how to play a guitar. You can really hear the accent in these guys and know that they’re from the south. Is that a bad thing? Not at all. It does sound in some songs like the lead singer is struggling a bit through his lyrics, but it doesn’t take away from the overall sound of these guys. I’m totally rocking to Green Room.
Nah, I don’t think the southern accent is a bad thing at all. In fact, it adds a bit of flavor to their music if you ask me. Yeah, they are definitely a must see in concert for me.
