The Afterparty – Liar, liar
Who They Are: Sadly I could not find a bio on the band. If I get a hold of one, I’ll get it posted.
Why I Like Them: Ok, seriously I don’t understand why I haven’t listened to this
3 Pill Morning – Rain
Who They Are: Forged in the hard rock proving grounds of Minneapolis, MN in 2004, 3 Pill Morning could be described as trial by fire. Simply put, music was never a question for lead vocalist Jeff Stebbins
Sally Pepper – Against The Tide
Who They Are: Hi. I’m Sally and I pretend to play the guitar. I write songs that just come to me and then I play them at gigs. Influences include Fall Out Boy, Tonight Alive, We Are The In Crowd,
Diamond Days – Home
Who They Are: Not much information on this band through the sites I looked up. If I can get a bio from them I will add it here.
Why I Like Them: Musically this song is Rise Against, while vocally it’s
Nathaniel Brant – So Far Away
Who They Are: Nathaniel spent several years in Nashville, TN writing songs (Country and Alternative) for major and independent label pitches. He has shifted gears now to create music for his debut album. He has already sold a few thousand cd’s and has played to several small and large crowds at various festivals and music venues in the midwest and the southeast.
Why I Like Them: While I’m not normally I country fan I gotta say for a song with a country vibe I am grooving on this one. It’s really uplifting and it gives you this wistful feeling. I personally found myself thinking of my own SO and how long we’ve been together. I appreciate how the vocalist here is so in touch with the lyrics he wrote. You can feel the emotions and the story.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Yeah. I don’t have a playlist currently that he would fit under since it’s more of a country thing. I would however start a new playlist with songs that were either full on country or that awesome country/pop crossover.

I DIVIDE – Never Be Stopped
Who They Are: “Exploding out of Exeter with blistering single – ‘The Arrival’, I Divide made an enviable grand entrance into the UK rock scene at the dawn of 2011, dazzling fans with aggressive and epic anthems that summon forth the finest moments of We Are The Ocean and Deaf Havana. Led by unique vocal talent Tom Kavanagh, this tight knit quintet comprises axemen Henry Selley and Josh Wreford backed by drummer Dave Mooney and bass maestro Kristen Hughes. Released under original moniker ‘Dancing With The Enemy’.
Why I Like Them: Hurray! I dig the upbeat temp of this tune. And as you know I’m a freak for that harmony/melody thing and that is up front and center here. It would mix well with bands like Fallout Boy and is reminiscent of older Linkin Park. This particular song has a great soaring quality to it that keeps you pumped up for the duration. There are some really nice vocal feats here that shouldn’t be missed. Excellent guitar work and smashing drums always make for a happy listener.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: I do love this song and would be more than happy to listen to the rest of their body of work. I may not have it on all my playlists, but there are a couple that it would fit very nicely on.
The Band is:
Tom Kavanagh – Vocals
Henry Selley – Guitar
Josh Wreford- Guitar/Backing Vocals
Dave Mooney- Drums
Kristen Hughes – Bass

Jet Black Sunrise – In Flight
Who They Are: Jet Black Sunrise is a 5-piece indie pop/rock from Boston, MA. They blend intricate harmonies with inspired rock arrangements to provide an eclectic listening experience and an energetic live show. With an EP on the horizon, indie label interest and plenty of local buzz, JBS plans to make waves in the coming years.
Why I Like Them: I love an epic guitar! This song starts out with a great one backed but some sweet drums and keyboard work. The intro sets a great tone and the beat slowly builds upon itself it leaves with you with this great anticipatory feeling that is paid off as soon as the vocals kick in. The vocalist at times reminds me of Jakob Dylan and then morphs off into Ryan Tedder.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Sure, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s like a big musical hug!

Seeing Sirens – Ain’t It Somethin (Feat. Cameron P.)
Who They Are: Seeing Sirens is a duo based in NYC. The group consists of Matthew a Multi-instrumentalist and Singer/songwriter Emily. Seeing Sirens perform a wide variety from Indie rock to hard rock. First Full-length album currently in production.
Why I Like Them: I really did dig the music to this song, however I can’t say I am all that enthralled with the vocalist. This song to me is very college radio, which is all good but I was really hit and miss with it back in the day. I will say this though I found the lyrics to be really interesting and thought provoking. I would also accept that I didn’t “get it”, there are a lot of things I don’t get.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: I think this is the first time I would have to pass on listening to more. This band just wasn’t my cup of tea.

X86 – Unbroken
Who They Are: I don’t really have any information about the band. If I can find a bio, I will get it posted ASAP.
Why I Like Them: This song has some really interesting things happening. I like this girl’s voice. It’s got a groovy rough edge to it that makes it totally rock. I’m pretty sure I hear keyboards in there some where which is an interesting addition to this song. It has a good groove and hook so be careful, this ones likely to get caught in your head.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: I would be interested in listening to more rock offerings from this band.
