DiscoveringArtists.com heats up cool season with hot site features
It's getting crisp outside here in New Jersey and we’re ready to cozy up to some fall shows. We’ll gallivant over to see Charlotte Martin and Matt Nathanson on November 3 at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, and will be hitting up Fooling April’s show on Nov. 13 in Philly. Wherever we wind up, we’re bound to run into friends and have fun.

Site wise, the CDs are piling up. Reviews have been sluggish because Kristen recently started freelance writing full-time. Dan just got a fabulous beach apartment. Now we’re living in the same town! Madness will ensue…we’re just sure of it!

Make sure to spread the love and keep suggesting great artists!

CD Reviews:
Darren Marc: Drive
Dreamy vocals and swoony acoustic rock jams make this album a good listen. "Whole Lot of Love" was recently featured on MTV's Real World San Diego, and contains catchy pop hooks. Marc's sound cross between Dashboard Confessional and Graham Colton Band, his rhythms sturdy and vocals distinct, able to hit high notes with ease. He's got an edge of that almost foreign-sounding accent similar to Blink 182 or Simple Plan, but the New Yorker is definitely all-American. In "Who the Hell are You" he sings, "All I wanna be is who I know I should be/Who I think I am has got to be better than me." Marc was just submitted for Grammy consideration, so things are looking bright for the California rocker, who is also a member of the band Modern Day Hero.
Favorite Tracks: Whole Lot of Love, Won't Think Twice
