Mmm, mmm. Dig the jazzy feel to this track. ‘Anywhere But Here’ from Behavior has got a great acid-jazz type vibe to it. The drum line to this track is what grabbed me right from the get-go. Then the sultry female vocal comes in over the top of it to seal the deal. It’s kind of along the lines of a DJ Shadow track or something from U.N.K.L.E. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Over The Moon’ from Jessica Owen is singer-songwriter fare in the vein of Jewel, only with a better voice and better hooks. Personal strong lyrics that you would expect from most quality singer-songwriters. What makes Jessica different is that she has the catchy choruses to make the songs stick and drives them home.

OK, how ’bout a little indie rock for you. ‘Best Time’ from The Monkey Show is a great piece of indie rock that showcases just how to balance the ‘indie’ sound yet still write great songs with hooks and melodies that keep the song stuck in your head. This was really a tough call for me to pick this track. I checked out all of the tracks from their website and pretty much any song on their site could have made the GT cut.

‘I Know Why, Virginia’ from Fojimoto is a little bit folk, a little alt. Country, a little bit of retro sounding pop. Layers of vocal harmonies churn out golden melodies and the song has a nice feel to nod along to. ‘I Know Why, Virginia’ is reminiscent of an Eagles’ track, perhaps a little R.E.M. or maybe even some Tom Petty, without quite as much rock to it.

‘Share Your Love’ from Atari Baby is a nice chunk of electronica for you to check out. Got plenty of changes, plenty of groove and the vocal for the track is very cool. It’s one of those tracks that you definitely don’t have to worry about getting bored with, which is a problem with a lot of electronica. The true stellar electronica tracks like ‘Share Your Love’ are equally welcome both in the club, in your car and in your home. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Yesterday’ by Escape From Earth is the first submission that GT has received from a viewer that has made the cut and is now a featured artist, so congratulations to them on that front. Second, once you hear ‘Yesterday’ you’ll completely understand why. Heavy rock that has some really great harmonies, it has a polished sound and a great hook that really drives this song home. Their sound is reminiscent of Filter except with a better singer and better harmonies. Read the rest of this entry » |
