September 22, 2003 — Can you believe it's
already Week 4 of our Decent Xposure compilation CD
promotion program? The contest entries keep coming in
and we've selected Kyle Rose from Portage, MI to win
a FREE copy of the album. This week, read on to hear
about three of the artists on the CD, and find out how
you could have your name up here next Monday!
The Low Life
In My Bed
A groovin' mix of keyboard, drums and guitars give
"In My Bed " its unique sound. It 's reggae with alternative
rock rapping lyrics...also known as the genre of music
created by Maroon 5. A genre I 've wanted to hear more
of...and am thankful this band was included on the CD
because now I can. The song is whimsical and focuses
on the topic of having fun. The end of the song blasts
us into harder rock electric guitar riffs, and does
so with a funky transition, thus keeping the compilation
diverse indeed. A great jam, this song definitely adds
flavor to the compilation album, and buying the CD after
hearing it wouldn't be unheard of.
Brendan Breen
More Than Ever
 With
a deep, quintessential alternative rock voice and a
myriad of layered guitars supporting him, Brendan Breen's
solo album title song, "More Than Ever " is a radio-bound
hard rock tune with sensitive lyrics. The words are
something of an emotional acoustic songwriter ' s dimension,
but the thrashing guitars give Breen the advantage when
it comes to setting himself apart from the rest. In
the song, he expressively wails, "To feel your lips
tonight/Love oh won't you bury me/With your sweet touch.
" Using a few big name producers and mixers was to Breen's
advantage, as it helped him gain a professional sound.
This harder rock song is definitely worthy of a trip
to the CD store to pick up a copy.
*******
Brendan has agreed to give away five copies of his
full-length album, More Than Ever, which will be released
September 23rd. To find out how to get your copy, check

a CD. Brendan will mail out the CD to the winners. Head
over there NOW!
Ordinary Peoples
World Without Money
 This
song doesn't at all fit the diverse genre of the compilation,
but I guess you could say it adds to the diversity!
I suppose for those who like hip hop, this is a great
song, but it surely stuck out to me on the album. Honestly,
I had to advance to the next track. The horn interlude
does give it a jazz edge, which is cool. But really,
it's just bona fide rap, and personally I don't care
for rap. Not bad, though, because I like every other
track on the disc.
