			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in the day, I used to be a pretty big <em>Alexisonfire</em> fan. In fact, when I&#8217;m feeling like a bit of anger is called for, I still am. So it was with interest that I awaited the sophomore release from Alexisonfire&#8217;s guitarist, <strong>Dallas Green</strong>, under his acoustic side project called &#8220;<strong>City and Colour</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p><strong> And man, has it been worth the wait.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.burgoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/dallasgreen.jpg" alt="City and Colour - Bring Me Your Love" /><br />
<strong><font size="1">Dallas Green, aka City and Colour</font></strong></div>
<p><a href="http://www.cityandcolour.ca/">City and Colour</a>&#8216;s latest release is entitled &#8220;<strong>Bring Me Your Love</strong>&#8220;, and follows up from the highly successful debut album, &#8220;Sometimes&#8221;.</p>
<p>You know, people often complain that <em>hardcore / metal / post-core / whatever-trendy-heavy-label-you-want-to-use music</em> is &#8220;just screaming&#8221; and that, &#8220;there&#8217;s no musicianship there at all&#8221;.<br />
I&#8217;ve always been of the opinion that the so-called &#8220;heavy&#8221; musicians make some of the most melodic, and most meaningful music, and that if they just slowed it down and dropped the notches below 11, more people would be able to see that. <strong>And Dallas Green, aka City and Colour may just be the person who explains that to the mainstream population.</strong></p>
<p>Dallas&#8217;s plaintive voice, and enchanting melodies craft an entire <em>experience</em>; the emotions are undeniable. <strong>While purists will claim that the tunes don&#8217;t stand up to similar tunesmiths such as Sam Beam and Elliot Smith, there&#8217;s something in these songs that resonates with people.</strong></p>
<p>I hope they make you feel <em>something</em>. I really do.</p>
<p><strong>Listen. Love. Support. </strong></p>
