Michael Tolcher - Speed feels better
The man behind the awesome 2003 album "I am", Michael Tolcher is still alive and kicking but rather unknown to the big masses.

This song is a forgotten gem, believe me.www.myspace.com/michaeltolcher

Blacklight Rumble feat Chris Grace
Chris Grace is no longer a one-man act. Although the New York City-based musician writes all his lyrics and composes all his music, the formation of his new band and their self-titled release, Blacklight Rumble, marks a major departure from that soloist mindset. Together with band members Joey McClellan (lead guitar), Aaron McClellan (bass), Marc Slutsky (drums) and Pete Remm (keyboard), Grace has formed an emotive and soulful ensemble that captures his lyrical talent and blends the strength.
The self titled debut EP on Sony/RED is available on iTunes, Amazon etc.
Stream the tracks at: (Savior is a really good song)

Marina and the diamonds plus reviews
I am totally in love with the album "The family jewels" by Marina and the Diamonds, I know it´s been out for a year now but I haven´t really listened to the whole album until recently. I´ve got the song "Hollywood" downloaded for some time now and I have heard the single "I am not a robot" on TV, but it wasn´t until I heard "Oh no!" that I completely surrendered to her unique vocal style. Amazing stuff!New reviews added of Miriams Well - Indians and clowns, Embrace Elijah - Intentions, Perihellium - The war machines, Worth Dying For - Love riot EP
