Aquarium, what?



Aquarium Rocks is an "indie post modern pop rock" band with a lot of potential. They are close to resembling the sound of the Strokes, but with a twist. They define themselves as a "genre crossing three piece". This is different and intriguing. I hope they succeed!! Their first and only EP is titled, "The $250 Live Recording Session So Please Turn Your Volume All the Way Up Thank You EP". Long name, good music.

A Must Listen:

I recently came across Ben Howard on myspace. Turns out, his music has a very unique element about it. He plays guitar like in August Rush, and his voice is very soothing. His song "London" is beyond amazing. He is currently unsigned, but I bet that will change soon. Howard has a lot of talent, and he sure does a great job making music.

Who knew MTV could actually still do some good?


MTV's own Jay Lyon from "the City" is in a band called Tamarama from Australia. Turns out, the band is actually fairly decent. The music is catchy, but almost a little too similar to Jack Johnson. It's the definition of surf music. But hey, most people like Jack Johnson, so they will probably like Tamarama. Go check out the song, "Everything to Me".

Check out Steve Means' cover of "Just Dance" by Lady GaGa! It's really good! If you like this you should also check out his other covers of the Fray's "You Found Me" and Coldplay's "Viva La Vida". He also has an ENTIRE album as a free download on his myspace! This is only for a limited time though, so go download!

Fan of Jason Mraz?

New artist on the rise: Viv Peyrat
He has a similar sound to Jason Mraz, but at the same time is unique. His songs are extremely catchy, and the lyrics match perfectly with the sound. His songs will be hits! I know it!

Check out his music video titled "In My Way":
