Anyone who’s bio reads: “People are getting tired of the Nickelback’s of the world..” immediately deserves a hi-ten.  Canadian-trio “The Daily Hate” served my ear reeeeeal good stuff this morning with their refreshing and fun blend of rock and ska, sounding similar to a blend of Sublime and Panic at the Disco.

I really dig the drumming, and the lyrics.  This doesn’t mean the guitars and bass don’t do the song justice- I’m just a sucker for a good snare sound, and lyrics that aren’t completely soul-less.  

Their style somewhat reminds me of Jet, and maybe pulling a little bit from older Incubus, or 311’s Self-Titled sound.  But more raw, and actually more believable.  And wayyy more fun.. let’s just put it this way: If you don’t like this band, then F*CK YOU!

Listen to their awesomely-raw songs on their facebook page, or if you are too afraid to hear something new, totally cool.  Have fun listening to Hinder.

Long Beach, California-based ‘aggressive pop-rock’ quartet Bethpage Black independently released their EP Black Music last month.  Combining the sounds of The Used, All-Time Low, and Foo Fighters, I gotta admit- I just listened to this EP several times, and shitsbueno :)

I had coffee with the drummer today (Steve Coy), who is also the business-man in the band.  We discussed the benefits of remaining independent these days (and how our bands probably wouldn’t be together had we been ‘signed’ in the past).  

It was interesting talking about the direction that both of our bands were headed in, as we were breaking down our 3-month plans.. I quickly realized that this guy has

In her bio, Miss Myi describes herself as ‘taking pop-princess to a whole new level’.  My first impression of her online presence, however, is that she seems more like a model, or a ‘celebutante’ (based on the only videos I could find).  Considering how talked-up her profiles are, it’s unfortunate that I could find no trace of this sexy girl dancing in her [makeshift] online portfolio.  

The 2 (demo-ish) tracks on her ReverbNation profile make her out to be more of a wanna-be-web-sensation, than a pop diva, in my opinion.  With a little more experience, and the help of some visionary producers that can hopefully assist in generating more content, I predict that Miss Myi will break out of her shell and show the world what she is truly made of, but it’s gonna take more time.

We all have to start somewhere I guess, but contributing to a revolution in the world of sing-and-dance requires a little more content to represent yourself professionally, at least before you seek reviews.  Great art shines bright, and doesn’t need to be sold.  

I hope to somehow inspire a more-collected and more-cohesive approach, and that my constructive criticism will resonate inside any strategic marketing plans for marketing Miss Myi in the future.  Cliche’, I know, but actions really do speak louder than words in this content-saturated, unforgiving e-verse where VIRALITY IS KING.

Have you heard of Mykul Lee?  He’s the drummer of LA-based rock group Oh No Not Stereo.  It’s apparent to us that when he’s not a wild-animal behind the drum kit, he’s writing ballad-esque love songs that will remind you a little bit of Iron and Wine or Elliot Smith.  Listen to this track “Loving Arms”, from his full-length album Fortress, coming May 1st!  Pre-order here: http://www.storenvy.com/products/244403-fortress-cd-2012-pre-order

Mr. Jitters is the musical brain child of Nashville-based recording artist, Dylan Rowe. 

I met Dylan a few years ago when he was playing bass for The Matches (one of my personal favorites) and he has never ceased to impress, most recently with his debut effort that reminds me of Mike Patton-meets-The Urge (remember them?) and a taste of Jimmy’s Chicken Shack. Clever songwriting structures and unique melodies are just a couple of things that make these five-tracks stick out from the pack. 

This EP is guaranteed to make you dance along. Needless to say, Mr. Jitters has now made my list of shows to catch.

Dylan recently joined onto the Maniac and Foxy Shazam tour, which will be trekking nationwide through April.

The debut EP, Multiplicity, drops this Tuesday, March 27th!  Order it here: http://nvy.gd/zjtsIH
