Is amazing!
While not my absolute favorite band, they're pretty high on my list.
I'm usually not this excited for album releases but unlike most of the other bands I really like, it feels like forever since they've released anything new.
For those of you who don't know who they are, here's some information :)

In case you didn't already know...
October 18th, 2011 is the release date of the new album These Times.
The track list (according to Amazon) goes as follows:
1. "Believe"
2. "Get Around This"
3. "Let Go"
4. "Staring At It"
5. "These Times"
6. "Never Stop"
7. "One Time"
8. "Crash"
9. "Stranger (Say It)"
10. "Things To Say"
11. "Life In The Pain"
** I do admit that I'm a bit skeptical of this list, especially considering they don't have the updated release date. They still have it listed as Nov 1, 2011 sooo....
But the reason I decided to make an entire post about them is to put all of the 'new' (not accurate according to Amazon) songs I find on youtube in 1 place.
And I'll list them in the order that I found them.
1) Get Around This
This is the official music video. And being the 1st single it was a released as a free download to the public for a limited time... unfortunately I think that time is up.

2) Let Go
Last I heard they were still in the process of making the music video for this song.
The first link is a live performance from them a couple of months ago.
And the 2nd link is an interesting, reproduced version.

**If you would like to hear an official version of the song and you have a Facebook account (which I would be surprised if you didn't and were somehow reading this)... go to their Facebook page and click on the "Let Go" tab OR you can go to http://www.facebook.com/safetysuit?sk=app_267063893313132 and once you share it on your wall you'll have access to another page that will play it.
{FYI: You must share it on your wall every single time you want to hear it.}
3) These Times
This and the other remaining songs I'll be listing are songs that I haven't read any 'official' announcements about but they sound familiar enough to count them until I 'hear' otherwise.

4) Heart Attack
I read a rumor somewhere that this song was leaked (or performed at a live show) before "Get Around This" but was not chosen to be their first single.

5) You Don't See Me

6) She Was Beautiful
From the looks of it this song has been around a while but since I found a performance within the last year I figured it'd be a relevant choice for the new album.

To respond to what some of you might be thinking... No I am not one of those obsessive fans, and I have an ipod full of other artists to prove it.
I'm just really curious to see how they'll follow up such a great 1st album.
The closest to 'obsessed' that I've gotten is with my favorite band, LIFEHOUSE. I'm all caught up on their albums and I have seen them in concert almost every time they've been in town. And this has gone on for... about as long as I've been able to afford attending concerts.
And that's as far as I go tonight/this morning. Keep listening!
I'm always interested in hearing new artists so if you have any recommendations, hit me up! (please and thank you)
P.S. I've got some life updates coming your way... as soon as I sit down and put it all together.
