While they aren't a new band, you all need to check out Blindside and their new CD Silence. They're first single off the album, "Pitiful," kicks major ass! Even though they're a Christian band you wouldn't know it by the music they play! They're just awesome.
pitiful is an excellent single, i love it. it's featured in NHL 2003, so i get to play one of my favorite sports while listening to kickass music on ps2!
NHL 2k3 has an awesome soundtrack, I just wish it would make use of the Xbox's custom soundtracks feature but Blindside is a great song
