The Submarines "Submarine Symphonika"

Second record from LA-based band. If you dig sugary sweet melodies and hooks this record is for you. Pretty much every song is a pop gem.

Six piece from Texas - This track is from the debut record released in April.

Butterfly Assassins "Sylvia II"

Another emerging Chicago band.. I think gapersblock.com said it best - "rocks in a moody, melodic, and grandiose, Arcade Fire-meets-Queen kind of way"

Thomas Pace "Pretty Little Girl in Blue"

This track is short but oh so sweet.. Thomas is an emerging Chicago-based artist. Also plays wqith my friend Drew in a band called Dexter. The record "New American Way" is full of great songs..

Griffin House "I Remember (and It's Happening Again)"

The record's a little heavy on religion for my taste but the songs are good. I thought "I Remember" was the most interesting.

Whiskeytown "16 Days"

Love this track from Ryan Adams' band [before his solo career took flight]. "Strangers Almanac" was recently re-released.
