You'll instantly recognize his voice from his days belting
out "The Freshman" when he was the lead vocalist for
The Verve Pipe. Now, Brian Vander Ark is stepping out
solo style, and in his solo debut, "Resurrection", he
emerges as a viable musician with just as much to offer
as his once-famous band had. "And Then You Went Away"
is a harmonious heartfelt song about loss, and in it,
Vander Ark sings genuinely - somewhat like Alexi Murdoch.
The overall sound of the album is kind of drab, but
the songs sing of everything ranging from happiness
and love to sadness and loss, and they're descriptive,
abstract works that require the listener to dig deeper.
His legendary deep, throaty voice gives this acoustic
rock record its claim in the music industry, and Vander
Ark exuberates potential as a soloist.

Spencer Bates is sort of a Ben Folds prodigy, with rolling
piano riffs that back up his eclectic, off-base lyrics
and a voice to match. "Back to School" is
a lighthearted song about experiencing the after-college
career crisis. "So pack the car with beer/And
take me back to campus/Cuz all the other choices seem
so cruel/Maybe I can go for the life I now/Maybe I can
go back to school." His cover of Elton John's
"Tiny ancer" is delightful. This is original
piano rock with almost a Broadway musical style to it.
Bates seems to have a classical tone to his voice, and
hearing him makes me think he belongs on a drama stage
instead of a musical ampitheater. Still, it's
not a bad album, and certainly stands out.

This album is the perfect blend of acoustic rock and
blues riffs. Adam Stewart sings the kind of rainy day
tunes that move you and make you feel. In "Let
Me Love You", he sings in a voice similar to Graham
Colton's, "If I had to love someone/More than words
could say/Always thinking of someone/Till life's last
breath slipped away/I would always choose you/If I hurt
you I'd never lose you." It's a simple acoustic
tune with power behind it, and his vocals carry the
weight of the intensity. Although most of the songs
are slow and plain in sound, they are complex and highly
emotional in content. These songs are romantic in nature,
revolving about the many feelings of love. Dreamy and
bright, Stewart delivers a lavish mix of smooth tunes
and expressive tones.

This
album is comprised of great softer acoustic rock sounds
that intrigue the mind, with lyrics so intensely crafted
that they demand the attention of the heart. The tone
is kind of mystical, with a range of swirling electrics
and uniquely rhythms that lay down the perfect backdrop
for Johnson's voice...the raspy type that grips the
audience. This is dreamy alternative rock with an intriguing
sound that left me feeling introspective. Call it Josh
Kelley meets Evanescence...with a touch of Michael Tolcher
and a pinch of Radiohead. In "Sympathy for the
Skeptical", he sings, "Cut through everybody/My
body's in motion/It's hard to be in a world of nothing/World
of vain commotion." Throughout the album, I got
a feeling that the lyrics weren't all too specific,
and could be left up to the interpretation of a listener...and
I love that. Johnson has the kind of talent deserving
of making it big, definitely one to watch.

Stunning, riveting and poignant, this album features
some of Matt Nathanson's older works redone, while blending
some new tunes into an awe-inspiring collection about
romance, loss and self-destruction. Upon first listen,
I was excited because this album represents him really
emerging to the masses, although I was initially somewhat
let down at the radio-friendly versions of his older
songs. Then I realized that although the older songs
have a new sound, they still kick butt...just in a different
way. "Pretty the World" actually got more energetic,
sound wise. And, much to my happiness, "Little Victories"
was kept strictly acoustic with the glory of Matt Fish
playing cello. His new material is just as bright as
his past work. In the emotionally exquisite "I Saw,"
he sings, "I saw pictures in my head/And I swear I saw
you opening up again/And I would be heavenly if baby
you'd just rescue me now." The only thing I wanted to
hear more of was Emm Gryner in "Sing Me Sweet", because
you couldn't really hear her voice, hence, feeling the
chemistry between the two. She doesn't provide background
vocals on "Bent", either, although the new version captures
just as much emotion with a rather different harmony.
"Sad Songs" is an honest tune, sung from Nathanson's
heart with his signature gritty vocals. Many of the
songs possess an energizing background of electric guitars
and quintessential rock and roll drums. This album absolutely
shines, chock full of Nathanson's liveliness and sentiment,
with the notable assistance of Matt Chamberlain (percussion
for Tori Amos and plenty of others) and Glen Philips
(Toad the Wet Sprocket). After hearing this album, I'm
welling with energy and emotion, eager to watch him
rise into stardom.

This album is plain old fun. With hearty alternative
rock undertones, and a lead singer who has the voice
to carry them off, this band has a punkish garage band
feel and a proficient sound. No two songs sound the
same, showing that the band belongs to more than one
genre of music. "100% Free" is a whimsical
romantic song with the high school feeling to it. "So
Low" is the quieter song on the album, a rich
blend of piano and emotional vocals that turns into
a raging emotional jam. They may not hit national airwaves
anytime soon, but this hometown band is nothing short
of quality.

Self-proclaimed
as un-pop for the un-populous, this album is a fun rock
and roll mix with almost a ska or punk tone to it. A
professionally mixed sound, the group sings about whimsical
topics, as in the songs, "In A Bar" and
"Math Prof Rock Star". The title song is
awesome, with fluid lyrics and an energizing tone. This
isn't for those looking for the emotional pinnacle
of music, but if you're up for a good time and
off-base music, pick it up.

After hearing this band live opening for Graham Colton,
I was eager to hear their album. Now I know why, because
it's got a down-home local band feel, with a professional
recording touch. Lead vocalist Steve Piperno, who also
wrote the songs, surely belongs at the microphone, while
the rest of the band provides great back up with gently
rocking drums and swirling electric and bass guitars
to match. The lyrics are anything but ordinary, and
reflect the analytical side of romance throughout many
of the songs. "Sundays Were Made for This" is a resonant
debut song, with intricate lyrics about a twisted relationship...utterly
masterful. The kind of words that bring out feelings
the rest of us can only feel inside, or experience.
"Better" has a whimsical display of layered vocals and
a jammin' back-up electrical rhythm with that clean
cut rock'-n-roll sound. In "Alison Rose," Piperno sings,
"There's no sense in knowing the truth/When you can't
help but tell little lies/There's no closure in saying
goobye." Green To Think is another fabulous Jersey band
that will hopefully spread their wings around the rest
of the world.

All I want to hear from Matt Santry is more. He's got
a deep voice and even dreamier lyrics. They're simple
and honest; gently tugging at the heart. With a great
back-up sound of electric guitars with almost a raggae
feel, "She Said No" is a wise choice for a
debut, and in it, Santry cleverly sings, "Wanting
her more that she said no/Driven by the resistance she'll
show/And it turns me on when she says no/The idea of
winning her that I can't let go." The second track
(also the last, shucks) is called "Liberty"
and it certainly gleams with thought-provoking lyrics
about a troubled romance. It's a love ballad, heartwarming
and emotional. This album is well refined; with a well-balanced
of varied tones and rhythms shifting throughout each
song. Like I said, I just want more, and so will all
who hear this short sample of a full-length album
hopefully soon to come.

Always gotta plug the good Jersey bands - and Darby
Jones is certainly one of them. The CD has a professional
garage band sound to it, with a harder alternative rock
edge, yet killer lyrics. In "Faster Than Your Angel,"
the opening lyrics suck you in with, "I'll just
keep my wheels on the road/Try to keep up with my good
intentions/Am I fading fast or asleep at the wheel."
A varied rock tone, the songs take you through slower
interludes with fabulous arrangements of swaying electrical
guitars, and drums that keep you rocking. This is pop
with strength, comparable to the likes of Jimmy Eat
World or Blink 182. For those who like their rock and
roll harder, this is a great album to pick up.

I don't know who Norman is, but I know once he hears
this album, he'll surely be awake. A gleeful blend of
jam band sounds with a professional edge give this album
its stance – inspiring jam band music. The lead
singer sounds a lot like that of Creed, and the lyrics
are uplifting and honest. What makes this band sparkle
is the violin, sort of a Boyd Tinsley aspect going on
here with a classical undertone. I like this album because
the sound doesn't reflect the lyrics in the songs...meaning
that everything sounds pretty light even when more subdued
emotions are described. "Lullaby" is a grand first track,
with swift violin strums and brilliant lyrics, such
as "I saw my eyes in your eyes tonight/Do you see how
you hurt me and won't let me fly/I won't let you bleed
me and keep me from my life." This is the kind of band
that I imagine would sound even better live...definitely
a group to keep an eye on.

Gran Bel Fisher blends the high society sound of REM
with the worldliness of Coldplay, and on this album,
he does it flawlessly. I can already envision some artistic
type of music video on late night MTV, and I don't think
it will be long before this becomes reality. His sound
is crisp, and his sometimes higher-pitched voice adds
to his distinctive sound. In "Do We Say Bye", Jesse
Andrew Littleton (that's his real name), sings "I'm
fighting to understand/Things I just don't know/Where
did we come from/And where, where do we go?" It's almost
got that Fiona Apple or Ben Folds kind of keyboard thing
happening. This isn't solely alternative rock, but it
is much more than a guy with an acoustic – it's
really a worldly blend of rock and roll with an eclectic
twist on modern day keyboarding. "Night Song" is a slower,
acoustic tune...you know, the kind that really speaks
to you. Lyrically, all of the songs possess an introspective
look at life and love. Overall, his EP is just the beginning
of what I deem to be a successful career on the horizon.
Favorite Tracks: Moment, Night Song

Categorizing this album is nearly impossible because
its an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, rock and alternative.
Nevertheless, it's this diversity that makes this album
shine. Errico has a throaty, soulful voice that does
him well, whether he's wailing it out against the raging
electric guitars, or feeling melancholy during his more
spoken-word songs. "Grace" is a smooth tune with a heightened
chorus that includes rampant electric guitar interludes.
In it, he sings, "Despite everything you say/Despite
everything you do/Grace unto you, Grace unto you." He
even gets jazzy in "Breathe It In," a spunky tune to
say the least. Powerful and intense, this album stands
out due to its strength in music and in its lyrics.
Deep, thought-provoking and sometimes just plain fun,
it's nothing short of quality.

Out of nowhere, this album appeared in my mailbox and
has found permanent rest in my stereo. This CD features
the theme song for the MTV hit show, "Dismissed" (the
song is "Evil Twin") and "Promise Ring" was featured
on the motion picture soundtrack for "How to Deal."
But it wouldn't have had to gain such popularity to
still rock. They're a bit of Radiohead meets Graham
Colton, with signature vocals that make you want to
melt and shout-out at the same time. Throaty electric
guitars and spot-on percussion give the album its professional
edge and unique sound. Lyrically there is only direct
emotion coming out of this super collection, honest
and bold. Alternative rock songs are not the only type
found on the masterpiece album; a softer tune, "Wait
Up for Me" shows the band's sensitive side, and is sure
to draw in the ladies. I thoroughly enjoyed this listening
experience, and believe this to be the kind of album
you don't keep to yourself...it's just begging to be
swapped with my friends.

Until Alice Peacock releases her next album, Amy Fairchild
is filling that void for me. But even after that album
is released, Fairchild's album, Mr. Heart, will still
by in my stereo. Her album, Mr. Heart, is an
acoustic work of art laced with folk undertones. Vocally,
she's similar to Sheryl Crow and Peacock, but that doesn't
mean you'll hear their tunes hashed back at you—Fairchild
is sensitive, no nonsense and eloquent at the same time.
Lyrically, the songs are written with that hard-core
raw style that I melt over. Her title track, "Mr. Heart",
exhibits layers of acoustic guitar strings, and a dreamy
voice that sings about letting go of love as she chants,
"Mr. Heart tell me one thing/Your disappearance is unsettling/You
said you'd hang there on the string for me." "Tuesday"
is a compelling song about Fairchild's personal experience
on September 11th, while "Beautiful Secret" is a fun,
upbeat song that was featured on the TV show, Dawson's
Creek. The recording has the charm of an intimate performance
with the professional sound quality that makes her radio-friendly.
Her music is overflowing with soul and storytelling...a
gleaming album that instantly launches her up to the
standards set by the bigtime Lilith Fair legends.

Joe Purdy's third album, Stompingrounds,
is an acoustic gem. Although some of the tunes hang
in the doldrums, the softer sides are chock full of
beautiful lyrics and heartfelt moods. His voice is similar
to that of Dean Fields, and he sings gracefully throughout
the album. "Woman Go" has a touch of bluegrass,
but it's a charming southern sound I don't
mind because it reflects his personal roots as a native
resident of Arkansas. In "Trouble", he sings,
"Trouble, I hope that you've enjoyed your
stay/mow trouble why won't you go away."
Folk is the dominant genre, as Purdy explores his theories
and feelings about himself, and his relationships. It's
a soft album filled with intense expressions that is
sure to bring Purdy to the stereos of those who dig
acoustic.

Pete Kilpatrick didn't add the word Supergroup to the
end of his formal band name for nothing. Combining a
jam band sound with the electricity of alternative rock,
the band's newest album, Halfway Home, certainly
lives up to the band's catchy title. Kilpatrick is a
master vocalist; with a voice so smooth, so completely
serene...well, it overshadows the music because it's
just so hard to ignore Kilpatrick's dreamy, crisp voice.
Then come the tunes...a varied meld of electric guitar
and upbeat percussion. There's a sense of Maroon 5 guitarage
in the songs, but Kilpatrick's vocals are incomparable,
which makes the CD stand out. Overall, his sound is
similar to Howie Day, with the right amount of contrast
to give the album its own realm. "Secret Stuff"
is an acoustic-based song which integrates almost a
club-type of percussion into it, as Kilpatrick sings,
"I dream too much/There's little time for the truth/I'm
sailing through her/You and I will make it through tonight."
Also, "The Wells Beach House" took me to straight
to his softer side, as the guitars raged and Kilpatrick
belted out his emotions. I like the unique range of
emotionally sensitive vocals and surging electric guitars
with flowing keyboards that this group has going on.
It certainly makes them super, to say the least.

These days, it takes a lot for a singer/songwriter to
prove that they're here for the long run. Josh Kelley
does just that with his debut release For the Ride
Home. In the most melodic, soulful way I've heard
possible, Kelley has hit it big with this compelling
yet fun collection of songs. It's the road trip CD I've
been waiting for...richly adorned with the right amount
of heart and soul. The acoustic strings and cheerful
piano riffs throughout the album make it universal for
just about every fan of music. His voice tops off the
album...a deep, velvety array of high and low notes,
not one of them sung without spirit. Breathtaking and
invigorating, the album paints masterpieces about everything
from fond memories to romance. In the nostalgic, "Old
Time Memory," Kelley sings, "I belong to the best of
you/And you belong to the things I do/This song is how
I'll remember you/Cuz I can tell you what it's like
to be gone/When you're an old time memory." I'm not
a fan of bluegrass, but the country undertones in "Follow
You" don't bother me one bit...they simply add to Kelley's
southern-boy charm. "Faces," is a subdued, benevolent
acoustic tune, while his radio-frenzied hit, "Amazing"
is...well...just that. Transcending the genres of country,
folk, and acoustic rock, this album radiates. If you
like Jeffrey Gaines, Edwin McCain, John Mayer or Marc
Broussard, you will probably fall in love with this
album. Certainly, it is more than worthy of my highest
rating.

Complete with heartfelt lyrics and an even more dazzling
sound, Taylor Davis has released his second album, Letting
Go. Although I can't say that his voice does his
music justice, I can tell you that we do have some potential
here. His voice fits the theme of his songs; whiny and
dramatic — which kind of conveys his emotions
better than the words in his lyrics do. Rhythmically,
this isn't a bad buy, as the album is decorated with
organs and bass in addition to the throbby beats. "Black
and White" is a simply written song about losing love,
and in it, Davis exerts ultimate pain into every word.
Depressing? Yes. But the song takes the listener through
feelings of loss, and does so with truth. All of the
songs are about relationships and love, which leaves
me feeling kind of bland, because there is more to life
that these "guitar in hand" guys can focus on. It won't
stay in my stereo, but this wasn't a bad listen, either.

With a simple sound comprised of acoustic and bass guitars,
drums and background vocals, Cary Judd proves that you
don't need much more to make an album shine. It's acoustic
rock and roll that makes you fall in love with the strings.
Lyrically, this album is quite illustrious in its ability
to convey honesty and raw feelings. If you're looking
for a comparative artist, I'd have to say Judd has all
the makings of a young Matt Nathanson with a twist of
Dashboard Confessional. In "The First Farewell," Judd
aggressively sings, "Hopefully we've spent some time
alive/So go out now and become something that you'll
be proud to say/'That was me up there, and I wasn't
scared to be me'." As he fervently wails on his guitar
throughout the album, it's clear to see that Judd's
strength is in songwriting. "Cohen's Stairs" is a heartfelt
memoir summed up in a song about someone dear to Judd.
You can really feel Judd's soul in this album; he opens
up to you personally through his music and does so in
a way that leaves the acoustic fiends eager to hear
more. Be sure to let the last track play to its end...a
surprise awaits you.

This CD couldn't have landed at my doorstep at a better
time. I'm at a creative high right now, and Leah Morgan's
new album feeds my mood. It's musically artistic because
it's diverse in sound...I'm feeling a great deal of
Lisa Loeb, Aimee Mann and Charlotte Martin here. Throughout
this eclectic mix, Morgan uses all facets of the electronic
keyboard — throwing her aggressive, girl rock
voice — on top of the music. Guitars add to the
intoxicating feel of the tracks, which range from compelling
slow songs to harder rock tunes . The girl is a hard
core female rocker who has ventured far and wide to
develop her own musical genre, yet seems to do so with
splendor."Other Side" is a slower song about
feeling trapped and wanting to move forward; and in
it Morgan sings delicately, "I can't get out/I'm
still trying to find the door/And I can't get out/To
what's waiting on the other side." "Iowa"
is a bluesy tune void of her normal harder rock undertones
and offers a whimsical view regarding relationships.
She's got folk roots with vocals that seem almost classical,
especially as she flows through piano octaves in "Square
Plate Song." Overall, a varied sound emerges gracefully
throughout the album, yet with rock-n-roll force that
demands attention and evokes dynamic emotions.

Some of my favorite artists are the ones I was never
in search of. When I listened to Michael Tolcher's upcoming
album, I Am, he instantly fit that category.
You know...the kind of artist that seems to come out
of nowhere, yet feels like someone you've rocked to
your whole life. He's a bit of The Clarks meets Barenaked
Ladies with such a varied musical styling that it's
hard to keep up. One song is way different from the
other, utilizing a wealth of instruments beyond guitars
and drums, and even a funk undertone popping up here
and there. You're not going to find any depressing songs
here—the mood is upbeat even when the topic is
self-identification as Tolcher examines himself in "I
Am." "Sooner or Later" is a tune that's got popability
written all over it – with a smooth meld of electric
and acoustic guitars wrapped in with the rocking of
rhythmic drums with creatively embellished wisdom emanating
from the lyrics. "This Is What I Meant By That" has
a worldly sound, simply written with more of a random-kind
of wording going on. Tolcher takes to daydreaming in
"Kings in Castles" as he sings, "See yourself in a place
beyond today/Yeah, the future can be scary/But just
be wise to the games you play/Don't let your spirit
degrade." Tolcher is a wordsmith that isn't afraid to
stand out, and his album does just that.

John Mayer was spot-on when he dubbed this album with
its title, because it is more than the simple "odd-man-out"
album that Room for Squares was. He's still got
that soul searching aspect to his tunes, but does so
in now by expanding his pop mold and experimenting with
his own style, which now includes some jazzy horns in
a few songs, and a double-dose of electric and bass
guitars. Lyrically, it's deep – and I am a sucker
for intensity. Since Mayer isn't trying to appease his
fans with this release, maybe it's fitting that "Clarity"
was the first song. The song explores the theme of realizations
and is infused with brilliance and passion as far as
words go. But it's got a broken up sound with some big
band-type horns...not my cup of tea. Once you're past
it, however, the rest of the album is smooth sailing.
"Something's Missing" was a long-awaited addition, and
in it he sings unashamed about being confused and lost
in thought as he describes the intuition about something
being absent. Sorry, guys, we still aren't sure what
that "something" is, but we can all identify with the
feeling. "Come Back to Bed" is the tender apologetic
love song with a touch of blues unique to Mayer. Putting
on his philosophy hat, Mayer explores the connection
between parents and children in relationship patterns
in "Daughters" as he sings, "She's just like a maze/Where
all of the walls all continually changed/And I've done
all I can do/To stand on the steps with my heart in
my hand/Now I'm starting to see/Maybe it's got nothing
to do with me." If you're willing to understand Mayer's
maturity, and aren't expecting the pop-friendly tunes
of Room for Squares, you'll definitely enjoy
this collection. It's growing on me already, and I've
only heard it twice. I feel like I'm finally hearing
the true John here...and I've waited a long time for
that.

Gleaming throughout his newest album, it's clear that
Angie Aparo has done it again - created success. There's
an overall softer element to this album; which, for
me, made it all-the-more enjoyable.
"Hard Woman" boasts rocking beats laced with
harmonica backgrounds. But perhaps its simplest comparison
in sound is to the likes of The Beatles, or Tom Petty.
The classic sound makes it a prize in my book.
"Sweet Loretta" is a catchy tune with the
signature Aparo drum rolls that we've come to love.
"Child You're the Revolution" is reminiscent
in rhythm to the Blue Man Group's song "Sing Along,"
with pulsing background beats melded with electric guitar
solos. Vocally, Aparo displays power and emotion as
he belts out, "Can you tell me/Am I child of the
sun/The only one who rules the world/Is every little
boy or girl/Child you're a revolution."
It's clear that Aparo has experimented with sound;
the songs include mandolins, harmonicas and even a back-up
children's choir. This album is brimming over with potency
and vigor between it's rhythms and the beauty of Aparo's
voice. I've come to expect nothing less.

Four songs were all it took for me to realize that Alexi
Murdoch has the potential to become a singing/songwriting
legend. What makes his album, Four Songs so exceptional
are his folk acoustic tunes melded with rich, deep vocals.
His sound as a whole is reminiscent of Duncan Sheik
or Pete Yorn, and audaciously revives the musical stylings
of the late Nick Drake. Murdoch shines during the song,
"It's Only Fear" when he sings "Don't hold your head
too high/Don't be afraid to cry/Because you know my
dear/It's only fear, it's only fear." The song later
transitions into up-tempo mix of piano, bass drums and
the tabla. "Orange Sky" is a song that makes me feel
like daydreaming; it really took me away and made me
want to stand beneath the orange sky Murdoch sings so
fluidly and smoothly of. Straightforward lyrics comprise
much of the album, but it's the simplicity I'm drawn
to. This is the kind of album that centers you, helps
you unwind, and appreciate the world. Thoroughly impressed,
I am ready to hear a full-length album from Murdoch.
