Only took a year to get released in the states and a new album is already out in the U.K.! How cool is that? Not very imo. Oh well, new to me. Had heard the group before, probably listening to BBC, but not an entire album. Brit band formed in 2005 with their debut full length album. Prduced by Jim Abbiss who previously worked with the Arctic Monkeys (another band overlooked in the states). The album most reminds me of Vampire Weekend, I suppose, but you can certainly hear some Monkeys. They must have given us some bonus tracks here, as allmusic only lists 12 tracks, whereas what I listend to had 15.

Actually solo artist John Vesely with his third album. Compared to Dashboard Confessional. A couple of good songs but this is a little too emo for me, whatever that means. Not sure what it means, but I know it when I hear it. Sort of like porn in that I can't describe it, but I know it when I see it.

Never heard of him and the reality/talent show credentials didn't help since I normaly don't watch that crap. Rock Star Supernova, whatever that was. The show ired in 2006 and Ryan was eliminated. Having not been poisoned by seeing that, this album was pretty good stuff. My highest rated of the month so far. Produced by Matt Serletick of Coldplay/Matchbox 20 fame, this could very well be a hit. Some commerical tracks that are bound to get some video rotation, with a splash of alternative here and there. Nothing I can say was really bad and a couple of near great tracks.

Never heard of this guy. Metal band background but has moved on from that as a solo artist with this third album, with the 2 previous ones getting high praise from the critics. Nothing bad here for me and a few I liked. Almost gave Heartbreak Hotel a complete thumbs down, but even it has to get a bump for originality. The album barely squeaks by for a LIKE grade. Not many clips available. Live ones out there for most of these tracks, but very poor quality.

Trio L.A. band formed in 2000 out with their 2nd album after a 6 year break from their first. Shoegazers, lol. Compared to My Bloody Valentine, but I didn't hear it. Some of it borders on an electronic feel. One pretty good track, 2 bad, and the rest in between. Of course there is no clip for the good one.

Lower Dens - Completely Golden from Twin-Hand Movement [Gnomosong, 2010]
"Swarming guitar fuzz, bass waves, insistent drum throbs and Jana Hunter's redolent, charred voice are the core components of Baltimore's Lower Dens. Hunter, sometimes known for intimate, ghost-heavy weird-fi, now writes and plays with a group that might get filed under new wave, or drone pop, or post-punk..." - gnomosong

No the two v's is not a typo. Another internet sensation after posting his living room recordings online. This is the second release for skateboarder Nathan Williams. Picks up Counting Crows/Modest Mouse producer Dennis Herring. Love both of those groups, but not much here for me. Only one track I liked.

Magnificently sloppy Grunge album from '92.
Not two songs sound remotely alike, which is always a good thing IMHO.
