Mama I Wanna Go Home /  by E

       New Music Monday can't end until the latest single from City Rain has been featured because, as always, these guys have put together something fantastic. The lyrics are thought out, that melody is perfectly unique and gorgeous, and I'm just stuck playing it on repeat.
       Check out the single, "Mama I Wanna Go Home", below and head to the sites to check out more of their music (listen to "The Optimist", "Hearts On Fire", "I'm Gone", and "Join the Human Race" for a quick look at some amazing work).

See the Sun /  by E

       This is amazing; I love the song and I am completely addicted to every track from the band's debut album, Mount Karma.
       The rhythm is unfaltering, the vocals are great, the melody is gorgeous (I love most things that put a strong focus on the piano), the lyrics are articulate, and the entire song is just kind of perfect. With a sound that seems to combine the best parts of all the musical greats while still remaining unique to this band in particular, I can't get enough.
        Check out the links below to support the band and get Dovetail's debut album, Mount Karma, on iTunes now.

Little Drummer Boy /  by E

       I was trying not to get sucked into the whole Christmas scene until I had finished my last final, but then I came home from work last night to find a Christmas tree already lit and decorated and my very unhappy dog wearing a too small Santa hat. The holiday's are here so I might as well embrace them.
      Walk Off the Earth came out with a new video featuring their cover of "Little Drummer Boy" and it's fantastic (I'm probably biased because there's a husky on the drums but, seriously, the video's adorable). The composition is, as expected from this band, gorgeous and those always great vocals make the cover addictive.
      Pick up their new iTunes session series and this single now and, if you still do not have their album R.E.V.O, get it on iTunes because all the songs are fantastic.
