Bryce Jacobson

Weatherbox – The bands new EP is filled with indie tracks that are just an overall great listen. It brings me back the days when bands didn’t add all this electronic stuff to make their music sound better. We are streaming their new EP The Clearing all this week so be sure to take a listen.

Army of Me – Rise is the title of Army of Me’s new EP. Their sound reminders me a little bit of Jimmy Eat World, but then again it doesn’t. Its just another great indie EP and we are streaming it all this week so be sure to take a listen and pick it up this week if you like what you hear!

Michael Schneider

Matt Wertz – The new record is still in my regular rotation after having it for months. His live show is unbelievable, take any chance you have to check him out.

Tyler Hayes

Inkwell – This is a band that never fails to produce very catchy melodies in each song. There debut full length “These Stars are Monsters” is almost for sure a release that went unnoticed. If you’re looking for something new, and who isn’t, please pick this up.
