Songs of the Day: little hurricane, Robert Schwartzman, The Tallest Man On Earth.

little hurricane-Haunted Heart



Little hurricane is a rock/blues band out of California. There's only two members, front man Anthony "Tone" Catalano and drummer Celeste "C.C." Spina. I don't know what is it about duo bands that make them rock so hard. The ones that comes to mind are, The White Stripes, The Black Keys, The Civil Wars, She & Him, etc. I think LH is definitely talented enough to be mentioned along with those other great duos. Tone got this dirty modern rock/blues voice, and C.C.'s voice and drums are amazing too. I'm going to go creeper mode for a sec, and say C.C. is freakin' gorgeous. Especially in this video, in those moments when she's looking at the camera, while kicking ass on the drums. Anyway, check them out.


Robert Schwartzman-Second Chances



Robert Schwartzman, from the band Rooney, went solo. I don't know if they broke up, or he's just doing his own thing temporarily. I'm fan of Rooney, I use to listen to Shakin' all the time. That being said, he's still kicking ass by himself. I like that his brother Jason (Actor, Coconut Records, former member of Phantom Planet) was in this video.


The Tallest Man On Earth-Dreamer



There hasn't been any artist out there today, that can be compared to the great Bob Dylan. In till now. When you're listening to Kristian Matsson, you can hear the influence and similarity between the two. He's special like Dylan.

Artist Focus: Moon Taxi

Moon Taxi is an extraordinary indie band from Nashville. I just heard about these guys recently, and since then I've been hooked! They've been around for a while, started the band '06. Trevor Terndrup(Vocal) has a very cool modern rock voice. The other band members are equally talented. Overall, these guys rock! Check them out, they have three albums, Live Ride is a live album. The other two are titled, Melodica and Cabaret.

His sounds reminds me a little of Coldplay. Different vocal style of course.

The video is fan made, but still pretty good. It goes well with the song.

Jhameel-The Long Run



I don't know about you all, but some of Jhameel's songs reminds me of Michael Jackson. This one in particular.

Artist Focus: Hoodie Allen

Hoodie Allen, aka Steven Markowitz, indie hip-hop artist. This guy has been doing his thing for a few years now. I first heard of him about a year ago. Back then, he sampled a lot of songs from different artists, and kicked ass with it. Now he has this new EP, called All American. I've been listening to "No Faith In Brooklyn" for the past five days. It features Jhameel, which is another cool singer. So check them both out.

Songs of the Day: Silversun Pickups, The Lumineers, Jukebox The Ghost.

Silversun Pickups-Bloody Mary(Nerve Endings)



From Silversun's newish album, "Neck Of The Woods". It's a top-notched album, they definitely continue to bring that classic Silversun sound we all know and love.


The Lumineers-Ho Hey



I enjoy the folksy/indie style of these guys. The video matches up well with this song.


Jukebox The Ghost-Schizophrenia



The intro hooks you immediately.

Songs of the Day: Via Coma, Motion City Soundtrack, Ryan Leslie.

Via Coma-Stitches



“Time is like a stitch, ensnared and unraveling, in thickets that never let go. No one can choose of whom or where they come from. They only can choose where to go.” I love the lyrics! They kind of remind me of Death Cab.


Motion City Soundtrack-Timelines



New MCS! New album "Go" comes out June 12th!


Ryan Leslie-Ups & Downs



Coolness.
