I would say that my folk/alt country, or whatever you would like to call that genre, kick ended, for the most part, about a year or more ago. An acoustic guitar and a sad, dusty voice just didn’t do anything for me anymore.

Review: Anberlin, New Surrender

Brand New at Ohio State

I completely forgot to publish this article and words fall short to describe how much I enjoyed this show.  If you have not already heard of Brand New I encourage you to take a step away from main stream expectations, keep an open mind and give the band a listen.

Counting Crows Wrapping Up Tour In The States

Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson started as an acoustic duo out of the San Francisco area in 1989.  Durtiz and The Counting Crows have come a long way since their debut album August and Everything After which brought the 1993 hit Mr. Jones to stereos.  Amidst the 90’s grunge hype The Counting Crows delivered a fresh organic sound reminiscent of Americana rock.

The 1996 album Recovering The Satellites del…
