I thought I might try to revive this thread so here's a band that I stumbled upon a while back that I like.

YouTube - 32 Leaves 'Sudden Change'

Thanks Hitt........I'll keep it going with this song which is how I felt when my AW 3.6v battery charger died yesterday!
YouTube - The Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays

I found a local Milwaukee band that I really like, but I'm biased - I'm seeing the lead singer...

I'll have to post a link to his myspace page when I get home for you guys to take a listen.

Cool Vicks!!!...Please do!

Wiz!

Yes Vicks please do. I'm always looking for new music.

Ok...here's the link:

Some of his stuff is a little rough around the edges, but I think it shows promise. My ranking of the songs on his page are:

A Better Day
Feet of Clay
Crustacean
Elegy (note - the intro part of this song is REALLY rough, but get through it, and it's much better)
Beautiful Ruin

If anyone can get through Machine..I'll applaud them. The Bounce is not one of my favorites, either, but I can at least get through it.

Lemme know what ya'll think...

Vicks, I went and checked out the songs you listed. I liked the guitar part on feet of clay. I don't want to make you mad or anything but I honestly did not care much for the vocals. Maybe it's just not my kind of music. I play some guitar and enjoyed most of the guitar playing. It could be that the audio quality didn't seem that great on the streaming either.

 

[Vicks Vap-oh-Yeah]

No worries, I'm not mad. It's fairly common - one of his first comments back to me was 'I'm not used to people telling me I've got a good voice." He struggles with it, and its evident in his recordings.

When he sticks to his range, and when he really gets INTO the message of the music, his vocals are good - that's why I liked A Better Day as much as I did - that was the best of the bunch because you could FEEL the message in the music, and the story in the words themselves was arranged well.

I think they do show promise though. Definitely some good musicians there in my opinion. Does anyone like John Mayer? I saw this when he did the letterman show but had heard the song before.

Vicks.....I really enjoyed the music!! Rocky.....but not too hard edged!

Thanks for posting!
