GOOD MUSIC

September 1, 2007

Good music is hard to find these days.  The radio puts out a bunch of catchy tunes with no depth or soul.  To find music with soul and life, you have to look hard for it.  What a sad time in mainstream music when someone can put out a song about why they are hot and no good reason why others are not. 

In my quest to find music that would stir the soul not just the ear drums, I have found a few gems that I am stoked about.  They are as follows: 

·          The Robbie Seay Band:  Their new album “Give yourself away” encapsulates what it means to live.  It has songs of hope, change, and giving love away.  “New Day” is a track that will leave you with a smile on the worst day.  “Rise” will leave you pondering why can’t we live giving ourselves away and loving one another well not to mention all the musical flavor to this album that leaves you wanting more.  Check it Out!

·          As Tall As Lions:  Their self entitled album is incredible.  “Love, Love, Love” methodically lulls you down the road with a great chorus declaring it is all Love.  They have a Coldplay feel, but really make it their own.  “Ghost of York” is a great song to cruise to down the road.  Don’t miss these guys.

·          The Stars of Track and Field:  These guys form Portland rock with a hint of Postal Service.  “Movies of Antarctica” is a slow driving methodical song that grabs you.  With some elements of experimentalism, these guys are ground breaking and will have a bright future.  A must listen! 

These three band have redeemed the mainstream failure of radio to put out any real music.
