New to my radar is the band Quiet Company from my home-away-from-home Austin, Texas. The quintet started as a solo project frontman Taylor Muse but later became a full blown band with the addition of Tommy Blank (Guitar), Matt Parmenter (Bass), Jeff Weathers (Drums) and Cody Ackors (Trombone). The group have had some solid success so far in last years’ album release of “Songs for Staying In”, which charted at radio and landed in a few tv/film placements, including songs with acting roles in the ABC show My Generation.
The band have recently teamed up Grooveshark and Rocket Science to release their latest album is “We Are All Where We Belong”, try out the first single in “You, Me & The Boatman”.
Take a listen to Boston-based melodic folk pop band You Won’t, who are relatively new to the scene, but are turning some heads. The duo (Josh Amoudse and Raky Sastri) were formerly the band No Eye Contact, but after retreating to the woods of Littleton, MA to record a set of songs Josh had written, they emerged with a new name and a debut LP (Skeptic Goodbye). Here’s one of the tracks, check out “Three Car Garage”.
