Rookie of the Year; it would be easy to write them off as just another acoustic band, put their cd at the bottom of the pile and forget about them…that is, if you don’t listen to it first. The band, originally started as a solo project, has now released its full band debut, ‘The Goodnight Moon.’ Currently touring with acts like Hit The Lights, Dave Melillo and many other notables, they are steadily building a substantial fanbase and it’s easy to figure out why.

The long awaited debut from Florida’s David Melillo is finally out via an online relase through Drive Thru Records and mtvU. “Talk Is Cheap” is a completely free, downloadable EP(the hard-copy store release will have an extra song.) Drive Thru did this twice before with hit(Hellogoodbye) and miss(Jenoah) results. I’ll just say that if you do not download this EP, you’re going to be missing out. Read more...

I’m that kid. What kid? The Chattanooga kid. You might not know what that means if you don’t keep up with Punchline. This band only sold 3 CDs in Chattanooga, TN. Two of those CDs were bought by me. I went on a promotional campaign, holding a sign on the side of the road with the words “Buy A Punchline CD!” scribbled on it. I even converted teachers to Punchkids. That’s how much I love this band. Read more...
