Though Owl City fans will doubtlessly label Lights a "female Owl City", her Canadian fans already label Owl City as a "female Lights". With flawless vocals and spacey, aurora like instrumentation, Lights creates her own distinct niche in the musical ecology while still maintaining her electronic and pop references. Check her out!
I'm not gonna lie. I've really, really missed listening to super contagious, pop/alt/rock. Hailing from Chicago, The Fold proves that catchy synthesizer melodies and guiltless and clean harmonies still produce an easy listen, singalongable track. This song hooked me with the blatantly optimistic and blindly inspirational lyrics. Have a fun listen!
I love it when bands don't take themselves too seriously. And this is possibly the epitome of a tongue-in-cheek love song. Myspace Girl is the true story of how their former bass player found love in the drive through. It's a carefree, guiltless, though slightly awkward, love song. Enjoy the prancing piano and the catchy guitar riffs!
Yeah. It's that song from that iPod Nano commercial. It's a nice quirky tune with fun vocals and whimsical lyrics. However, the instrumentation is my favorite part. Check it out guys!! And buy Apple.
Time for another vocal driven, heart wrenching, acoustic piece. Delicate is a powerfully raw, painfully desolate, dynamically diverse ballad. Though it seems small and quiet, I'd take care when turning your volume up all the way. Rice doesn't hesitate to shout out his desperate and depressed lyrics as the music comes to its climax. Check it out!
PS. You may need to wait a few seconds before you hear the song. Don't give up!
Again is the first single from Flyleaf's upcoming sophomore album Memento Mori, a latin phrase meaning "remember you will die." Again is thick and layered with heavy guitars and crashing drums. Lead singer Lacey Mosley's lyrics nicely compliment her desperate and emotional vocals. Check it out!
In all regards, this should be a bad love song. It contains no eloquent lyrics for girls to swoon over. It boasts a modest, not even remotely catchy, melody. The singer's voice is neither smooth nor flattering. Yet, When She's Near is an enjoyable and memorable experience. It's an uncommon ode that describes a strangely routine though incredibly romantic feeling we all seem to take for granted.
Huntington Beach local Matt Costa brings a laid back, summertime tune to the table with sweet lyrics and an impossible to resist melody in his hit "Sunshine." Expect a cool-guy acoustic jam in the same vein as Jack Johnson, which is appropriate considering Matt Costa is in the acoustic god's own record label. Enjoy the last of the sunshine Barons! Fall is on its way!
Yes. It's a clever pun. Zack thought of it. Haha.
Have fun at STAR testing Barons!
