Week #3- 09/01/09

Hello and welcome to New Music Tuesday’s third week! And it is a new month! I can’t believe it is already September. Before you know it the year will be over. This month I have a lot of good groups coming at you and a couple of new CD’s releases from bands that you might already know. So I hope you keep coming back each week to check in to see what has caught my ear.

First up is a group by the name of Band of Horses. I can’t exactly remember where I found these guys but I just fell in LOVE with their sound. These guys hit the music scene around 2004 with their “woodsy blend of mid-tempo rock and reverb-laden vocals.” I guess if I had to compare these guys to another band it would be Death Cab, but then not really either. There must be something about the Northwest USA and great music. I love all the songs but The Great Salt Lake and Is There A Ghost are my favorites.

Band Of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You

Band Of Horses - The Funeral

The second group is Amberlin. This group has actually been around for a little while, but they have a new line up of members, new producer and also just got signed to a major label. These guys are gearing up to be your next emo punk rock band, following in the footsteps of other groups like Fall Out Boy and Madina Lake, they are soon to have every young lady out there swooning over them. Fave songs from the album are Heavier Things Remain and Breaking.
