Check out the band Entice! You can listen to their album right here. If you’re in the Southern California area, be sure to catch these guys at Chain Reaction with The Ataris on September 25th. You can buy your tickets here.

“The gentle rock melodies of Entice are a breath of fresh air in a superficial, plastic world that wants everything fast, hard, and loud. The occasional piano accompaniment provides a mellow undertone that is perfectly coupled with Isaac Leland’s vocals.” – Erin Brown

Helena, MT based band, Goodnight Sunrise is on a roll lately. These guys have been touring relentlessly — they have a tour history listed on their Myspace and it’s enough to make a grown man cry. Somewhere amidst the tours, Goodnight Sunrise released their EP, Stop Drop and Roll. In addition to picking up the EP (which I highly recommend), you should catch them on the “Pop, Drop and Lock It” tour. Check out this interview!  Read more...
