Matt Hires

Matt Hires is going to be the next big thing. He has a voice made for recording and is a very talented guitarist. Oh and he is ridiculously good at being original in a genre of music that is quickly taking over the world.


If you are a fan of Matt Kearney, Matt Nathanson, and any other artist in that genre, or if you are a closet fan of theirs and are looking for an underground version of them that are just as good than Matt Hires is 100% for you.


He has a cover of MGMT's "Kids" and he does this great song justice and makes it look easy.




He has some ridiculous talent and his voice has a little hint of John Mayer - not completely but just enough to make his voice that in demand - and some of Kevin Calaba from Stars of Track and Field. It's a perfect combo and I have been listening to him nonstop.


Songs I Recommend:
Honey, Let Me Sing You A Song - one of his most upbeat - the perfect radio song
You Are The One
Out of the Dark
Tangled Web - mellow but incredibly thought provoking. maybe my favorite
O Sunrise - a very powerful chorus, makes the song great
Pick Me Up - another upbeat song
Turn The Page - the harmonies in this song are haunting.

Dirty Sweet

Have you been searching for and never been able to find the next Black Crowes? How about just a band whose music just has that special kick to it where you feel like the song actually has feeling, let alone badass. If so Dirty Sweet is for you.

It is hard to describe this band because words don't do their music justice, however, I am going to try and give it a shot.

Do you ever get that feeling that you were born in the wrong decade? That you are more suited for the 70s. You ask yourself multiple without ever having an answer, "When I have kids what band will they be talking about when they say, 'You are lucky mom/dad you actually had good music to listen to when you were growing up.'." Well Dirty Sweet very well could be that band. Every single one of their songs is great and has a that rough and cool biker bar vibe to it... just badass.

Mixing powerful guitar chords, a steady up-tempo beat, and a great classic rock voice, Dirty Sweet rocks it every song. If you are looking for a band that consistently brings you cool rock songs and never disappoints than Dirty Sweet is for you.


Songs I Recommend:
Man's Ruin
Long Line Down - maybe my favorite, great guitar
You've Been Warned
Baby Come Home - probably the coolest of them all
Born To Bleed - ok this one is pretty cool too

The Zolas

Like I promised we were going to introduce you all to a band that in the last few months has become a personal favorite. Now I am sure that most of you have realized that since we have been doing this thing, nearing our third year, the music scene has been gradually changing and indie/alternative rock has been gradually gaining popularity and is starting to become a big deal! However, I know that some people are going to be upset that they can't have this music to themselves anymore, well I really don't want that to happen so I plan on helping you out. I want to give you guys some underground music that is great and can still be YOURS and YOURS ALONE!

So we begin with The Zolas. Their music is similar to Crash Kings in that they create their melodies with piano and incorporate harmonies in multiple songs. The combination of those two equates a wonderful, playful, calming sound.


In their newest album Tic Toc Tic they have a number of musically gifted songs with super catchy choruses.


Basically what I am trying to get across to you guys about this band is if you are a fan of the piano and harmonies used in a pop/alternative way than The Zolas are for you!


Songs I Recommend:
You're Too Cool - This song's chorus is one of my all time favorites.
The Great Collapse - The song is amazing and the lyrics are great too.
Marlaina Kamikaze
No Talking
Queen of Relax
