Carbon Leaf

Life Less Ordinary

This band from Virginia started life as a Celtic Bluegrass kinda thing and have over the years evolved into a slick alternative rock act and back again! This song was re-recorded for a movie soundtrack last year, but here's the original version from their album "Indian Summer" released back in 2004.

The Revivalists

Soul's Too Loud / Catching Fireflies

Great young band out of New Orleans, from the bands first full length "Vital Signs". Southern rock charm with an alternative rock vibe, extremely talented bunch, catch 'em live if you can!

Funeral Party

New York City moves to the sound of LA

Naming themselves after the Cure song this is Funeral Party, an alty dance-rock outfit from Whittier, California. The Golden Age of Knowhere is their full-length debut. One show they played in the Los Angeles area (in a gang affiliated location) involved somebody in the crowd being stabbed while they performed this track. How romantic!

Low Millions

Mockingbird

Love this pop song! From the only album the band ever made (so far...) back in 2004, great hooks and  melody with snappy lyrics. The talent here coming from Leonard Cohens' son Adam.

Young Rebel Set

Lion's Mouth

Fantastic new record from a hotly-tipped British act destined for commercial success, maybe they'll break stateside? Taken from their first full length, "Curse Our Love" great stuff. Album of the month!
