Polly & Crackers - (Company/Culture Feature)

Big City Supreme
Members: Dallas Ference, Denver Ference, James Rutherford, Diffy Hellman
Canadian rock-band Big City Supreme have 3 solid songs posted to their Reverbnation site, my favorite of which is Gone For Good. Riff-heavy driven instrumentals with catchy and poppy vocals overlayed, Gone For Good sounds like a great mixture of old Red Hot Chili Peppers and Canadian-rock-band Sum 41.
As an original...

Gone For Days - "Guilty Pleasure" recently added...
“Gone For Days” is a four piece rock band that you simply cannot mistake for anyone else. The unique sounding vocals and hooks of front man Chris Taylor, aggressive guitar playing of Jesse Hatch and the solid backbone of bass and backup vocals from Chris Dickman set you up for the last but certainly not least element, Justin Pacy on the drums.
Their newest single “Guilty...

Kyley Styles - "One Short of a Six Pack"...
25-year old, Calgary-based multi-instrumental artist Kyley Styles has a story to tell.
Upon reading his bio, I came to learn that he is no amateur to the music business and he’s been playing in bands since he was a kid. We got a good taste of his sense of humor via this quote we found on his Facebook page:
“I didn’t work a year on these tracks for nothing. They explain who I was at...

Caine's Arcade - A 9 year old's vision...
My brother JD, who runs a print shop in Downtown LA, called me a few weeks ago and told me to ‘check out this kid’s arcade online’. He was making shirts for this 9 year old kid who created an arcade in his dad’s autobody shop- made completely out of cardboard.
It wasn’t until I came across this video that I realized exactly what was going on here.

Adena Atkins from Seattle, Wa. - (Artist...
From coast to coast Adena Atkins brings her singular artistry to song.
Her recipe is simple. Begin with lyrics that could double as poetry. Flesh them out in wildly imaginative music. Channel the whole thing through Atkins’ keystone soprano and the result sounds obvious, even necessary.
