Red Wanting Blue

Red Wanting Blue has a great vocal presence; I'd say they fall somewhere between Sponge and Gavin Rossdale in vocal and musical stylings. Check out their song "The World is Over," below.

Song of the day: "Math" by Demander

Demander In The Press:

“Future Brite could easily be popular on alternative radio, should the fickle winds of youth-culture popularity blow its way.” - Wired

“Like The Breeders if they’d owned more metal records or Sleater-Kinney if they weren’t granolas from Portland, New York band Demander have been steadily building buzz in Gotham with a gnarled brew of rock, metal, and punk and a touring hot streak.” - RCRD LBL

“The three members of Demander [are] perhaps New York City’s most boisterous, witty and good-natured group… [They’re] a band devoid of an obvious scene affiliation. This is due primarily to their dizzyingly addictive sound.” - CMJ New Music Monthly

Wake Up Lucid

Today I discovered Wake Up Lucid, they are an unsigned rock band that has already garnered mentions in Rolling Stone and Performer magazine.

“If their demos are any indication of what’s in store, we’re expecting raunchy rock at its best.” - Rolling Stone

“Forging a fresh take on funk, while bronzing the best in blues, this heavy trio’s stripped-down sound earns their renown.” - Performer Magazine

“A Minor” is the first single from the Look Alive People EP

Those Darn Drunk Bears!

The more I listen to the Frontier Brothers the more I like them. Check out their their music at http://www.myspace.com/thefrontierbrothers

Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound

This is the interesting music video of the day. Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound is a band that hails from Southern California and has an interesting message to share. With tripped out synth sounds and illusive vocals that seem to be put through a vocoder and then we transition into guitars and static and vocals that have a hint of Billy Corgan and a Depeche Mode feel. The song is called "Do Not The Clothes Make The Man?" Check it out!

Sarah Elizabeth Foster

Music opinion of the day:
Sarah Elizabeth Foster is a classically trained vocalist, pianist, and ballerina. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. Although the single "Be My Friend Always," has a lyric in it that slightly creeps me out. As part of the chorus she sings, "Wash me like a baby." I don't know why this irks me but it does. Maybe it won't creep you out, however her voice is quite angelic and has a fluidity that caresses the auditory senses.
