Below is all the music I highly recommend and why I do. Most of it is independent stuff because that's where the real music is.
Listen to Him | Blair Packham: Could've Been King
A true songwriter hailing from Canada with a great voice and ear for music. His lyrics and tunes are catchy and vivid. I will go back for his first album, Everything That's Good. Highlights on the album are "Could've Been King", "The Opportunists", "One-Hit Wonder", "Coming Undone", "Mister Bitter" .. oh hell, the entire album is awesome. (myspace) (official) |  Listen to Them | Class Three Overbite: Rendezvous
A group from Michigan that sounds like a mix of Beatles, Queen and Jellyfish. Amazing sound that totally rocks. Highlights on the album are "Milkshake", "Rendezvous" and "No Good Rotten." (myspace) ("Life Is A Piece Of Cake" on YouTube) |  Listen to Them | Fools and Horses: Pop Filter
Out of Baltimore, Maryland, this group is catchy and rocks. Highlights include "Would You Know", "The Therapy", "Frera" etc. The whole album is great! Put this on at a party and people will rock to it without having ever heard the songs. (myspace) (official) ("Fly Me To The Moon" on YouTube) ("Would You Know" on YouTube) |  Listen to Them | Junebug: First
From Wales in the United Kingdom, they are a good representation of what The Beach Boys would sound like if they got their start today. Add a little Weezer punk sound and 80s rock for good measure and you have Junebug. I actually bought their second and third albums too, each named Second and Third . Highlights - "Can't Get You", "Cathode Sun", "Stuck on You." (myspace) (official) |
Second Saturday I gotta throw a shout-out to my favorite Indie band from Nashville, a power pop group whose influences include Brian Wilson, Green Day, ABBA, The Ramones and Lennon/McCartney among others. Their first album was amazing and their second, an EP named Greetings from Mount Rockmore, was equally exciting. Their next full-length album is due out this fall (any time now!!) and I'm holding my breath. I've heard some demo tracks and the guys have outdone themselves. (purevolume ) |
