Highway Run, by the Charlie Wheeler Band, consists of tracks that are put together very well. The musicianship is excellent and the riffs are good hooks to get people interested in the songs. Half of the album has a country rock mixed with blues feel, with lyrics that weave stories. There are two...

This Storm, by Sonya Kitchell, is a wonderful blend of indie, acoustic, and a bit of alternative. Her vocals are soft, lovely, and full of emotion. The melodies are gorgeous. This album would be great, for a day when you just want to relax, to have as background music when you get together with...

Third Day is a well-known CCM band and Revelation shows the reason for it. These 13 tracks consist of beautiful melodies and lyrics; some tracks are soothing and others are fun and upbeat. In fact, I would not be at all surprised if many felt inspired by them. Their riffs are well done and the...

Crazy Ever After comes with twelve beautiful and soothing songs. Rescues does a great job of combining the singer/songwriter genre with a bit of folk. It is very sweet in its simplicity. The CD opens up with a simple song catching your attention and introducing the tone of the rest of the tracks....

The Dirty Heads' Any Port in a Storm is a well blended mix of acoustics, hip-hop, and even a little reggae. They have made an album that has radio-friendly songs, but it seems the intent was not to make for the radio, but to make something original and while it is not the most unique music today,...

Sonya Kahn's introduction into the international music scene comes with New Beginning. She is a classically trained musician with a penchant for writing unique songs. She might not have created the genre, but she does break a few of the rules. To classify what she does, the best I could do is "rock...

The Reckoning's self-titled album comes with 11 tracks of good guitar riffs and good rock and roll. The vocals are that somewhat harsh sound that is not the pretty, sweet vocals of pop, etc., nor does it have the very low, guttural screams and vocals of a heavy metal band. If I were to compare this...

Last Time on Earth, by Telepathique, consists of 11 tracks with fun and funky electronic beats and rhythms. Their music is definitely not like anything mainstream, but it could be heard in a club, especially a European club, since they tend to like electronica and techno, or so it seems from what a...

There for Tomorrow's self-titled album is quite short, consisting of only 7 tracks. However, these seven tracks display what the band brings to the listener. They are songs that are radio friendly and catchy, existing somewhere in between emo and pop. The choruses make you want to sing along even...

The Gallery is not much different from several other bands in the industry, but they might have the potential to be more, or at least it seems like that with the 10 track album, If You Know What I Mean. They fit into the category that many pop rock bands fit into these days. Some riffs are good and...
