The Panics – Don’t Fight It

The Panics come to us from the land down under. Seriously, the Australian gonvernment must have put something creative in their water. Watched a movie lately or heard a good song? Chances are pretty high they stem from across the ocean.

Genre: Alternative
Artist: The Panics
Album: Cruel Guards
Song: Don't Fight It

Shiny Toy Guns - I Owe You a Love Song & Season of Love

Love, love, love Shiny Toy Guns. And I honestly didn't like their latest single, Ricochet. But they definitely pulled out of my doghouse by once again playing to their strong suit: Variety. I appreciate how they don't let one musical style influence what their end products reveal.

Case in point: I Owe You a Love Song and Season of Love

Genre: Alternative / Rock
Artist: Shiny Toy Guns
Album: Season of Poison
Songs: I Owe You a Love Song & Season of Love

Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody

After my long sabbatical, I'm back for 2009 listing my favorite new songs.

One of my favorite groups to come out of last year was Kings Of Leon. Lead singer Caleb Followill easily has one of the great rock n roll voices to come around in a long time.

Genre: Rock / Alternative
Artist: Kings Of Leon
Album: Only By The Night
Song: Use Somebody
