The band doesn’t sound anything like Lynyrd Skynyrd, but Memphis May Fire may be the hottest thing to come out of the south since the producers of the unfortunately ubiquitous “Sweet Home Alabama.” Memphis May Fire actually couldn’t be farther in sound from the classic rockers of “Freebird” fame, but that doesn’t make them incapable of turning heads. The Texas-based band has been compared to the likes of Underoath and Every Time I Die, favoring a sound commonly (and quite ambiguously) classified as “post-hardcore,” but adding a unique southern element. The band released Sleepwalking (download here) on Trustkill Records, home of Bullet For My Valentine, It Dies Todayand other intense acts.

If you thought Natalie Nunn wasn’t as big a name as Amber Rose, this video may eventually prove you wrong. Natalie Nunn is making quite a name for herself by coming out and taunting Amber Rose, telling her she is getting Natalie’s “sloppy seconds” by dating rapper Wiz Khalifa. Of course, no one seems to be taunting Wiz Khalifa for getting Kanye West’s seconds, as Kanye and Amber Rose dated previously; but then, riding Kanye’s coattails doesn’t seem too horrible.
