“Medicated” – – Not released as a single. Did well in several head-to-head contests on different radio stations across the eastern half of the US, and is starting to get decent airplay. “She’s Got The Look” – – The second single from the album, and of course a cover of Roxette’s “The Look.” Not the official video, but they just recently shot it in Pittsburgh, so it should be out soon. Shot during the tenure of their former basist and drummer. This is the official music video, which features some pretty nifty shots. “Closer” – – Their debut single, currently getting lots of airplay on both terrestrial radio nationwide, as well as attention on Sirius/XM’s Octane channel. They’ve opened for KISS (hand-picked as winners of a contest KISS was a part of along with Guitar Center), 10 Years, Egypt Central, Saving Abel, Sevendust, and are about to start a tour with Trapt tomorrow night in Wisconsin.Īs for samples, I offer these, all from their debut album, “The Wreckage” In the interest of disclosure, the guitarist and singer (Jeremy and Ryan, respectively) are friends of mine, and as such, I help promote them when I can. They hail from Williamsport, PA, and have only been recording for the last year, together for the last three or four. Enjoy.Ĭandlelight Red – (the music press) call it post-grunge, but it’s more just straight-forward hard rock/metal. To get you started: Birdy, covering “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” by The Postal Service. Second caveat: Mention as many bands as you like, but maybe put in one band per post, because if you put in too many links in a single post it’ll get booted into my moderation queue. I assure you if the band formed before 2003 I already know about it. I make this note because if I don’t at least some of you will come at me with your favorite band from when you went to high school in the 70s/80s/90s/whenever. So: Hey what newer bands are you listening to these days? Share a link, and explain why they work for you.Ĭaveat: By “newer band” I mean bands/artists who either formed or started recording in the last five years or (if you can’t manage that) who formed/started in the last decade but have only become well-known in the last two or three years. I was just kvetching on Facebook about not having a whole lot of time to find new bands I could like, and then I smacked my head and went, duh, I have tens of thousands of people to recommend music to me.
