We’ve got a nice upbeat popish rhythm with a rather nice guitar line. It’s making me think of summer, hanging out with my friends drinking and doing generally dumb stuff. Not so much lyrically

Sirens & Shelter – Breath
I love the lyrics to this song. The emotion this guy can deliver with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and his voice is rather amazing. Vocally I liked the natural breaks in his voice that paired
Sabrina Signs – Even if you’re crazy
This is a really sweet up beat tempo song. The vocalist has a really nice innocence to her voice that I think underscores the honesty of the song she is singing. This song doesn’t show off a really
Charlie B – Love Never Felt So Good
Why I Like Them: Wow, this guy sounds so much like Michael Jackson it’s unreal. Now taking that out of the equation I have to say this guy is extremely talented. His voice is so smooth and sweet
Nou Enle – Romeo
Why I Like Them: No many acoustic acts make my radar. I am really glad this one did. This is truly a mellow treat for the ears. I dig the violin in this track, and how often do you get to say that?

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.

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!

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.

Kevin Leyva – In Flames
Who They Are: I couldn’t find much information on Kevin but I’m hoping maybe I can get a bio together soon and update this information.
Why I Like Them: This guy has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard. There is a grit there that so completely conveys the emotion behind this song. I like the fact that he knows when to pull back and when to really push through on those notes. Some thing a few lead singers I can think of could use. The guitar work is also pretty stellar if you ask me. How he isn’t on your radio right now it kinda beyond me.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: In truth, I’ve already scoped out his youtube page and listened to his cover of Stone Sours Imperfect. Utterly amazing. In fact, why are you still reading this?
