Follow My Feet /  by E

       The Unlikely Candidates should have had more exposure by now. Every song on their Follow My Feet EP was amazing, the lyrics are articulate, their sound is already well constructed and doesn't need any more time to mature, and the vocals are so very great.
       The band came out with an official music video for their single "Follow My Feet" a month or so ago and it really only makes me like the band more.
       Check out the video, get their Follow My Feet EP from iTunes, Amazon, or the band's website (and check out "Home", "Just Breathe", and every song on there), and head to the websites below to support the band.

Breakdown /  by E

       Scars on 45 has been greatly overlooked and deserves more attention for their folk/alternative rock tracks. 
       Check out the track below and head to iTunes to look at other singles, EPs, and an album from the band.

Avenue /  by E

      I love this song because his response of "don't you worry about it. It's none of your business. I know exactly what I'm doing" is the best way to answer any of your family member's questions during the holidays. If I can make it through Thanksgiving without anyone asking me about my grades, or next semester's schedule, or when I plan on graduating, or if I'm in a 'serious' relationship, or when I plan on getting a 'real' job, I'll be good. 
      Oh, Thanksgiving, thanks for reminding me why I only talk to these people once a year and why Christmas is strictly an immediate family event.
       Scott & Brendo have awesome songs though; the melodies and rhythm never get old and the lyrics are always fun. Get their latest album, And Away We Go, on iTunes now, because it's been almost a year and I'm still not tired of listening to these songs when I need something fun. Check out  "Synthia", "Little Voices", "Somewhere", "Northwest", "The Chosen" (watch the video), and, of course, "Kitten Air" (it is just as fantastic as it sounds).

Stranger /  by E

       It's sad with lyrics "say that I'm the only one and I'll never leave you", "I hope that you aren't thinking of us, like something you could never love, the last day the last way you looked at me, the last word the last thought you ever speak, I hope that you don't ever leave me, hopelessly thinkin'", but the bridge is amazing and the song is kind of great in its entirety.
     The track comes from the band's These Times album; make sure to grab your copy on iTunes if you don't already have it because every song on the album is great (get all the albums from the band while you're there; it's two full lengths and one EP so it won't cost a lot and it will be worth it to have their music).
