Decent Xposure Compilation:
Week Five — Pete Schmidt, MER, Melbourne

September 29, 2003 — This is the last week we will be individually reviewing the songs on the CD. You can still win copies, by entering our contest. This week, check out Pete Schmidt, MER and Melbourne!

Pete Schmidt
Make It Up to You Because

I'm already a fan of Pete Schmidt, seeing his name added to this compilation makes it all the better. Schmidt has a dreamy voice as he belts, "I sit here and think about what I had/Oh, and maybe sometimes, if I could have it back/But when I see other people doing what we did/Do you think about us?" This is a heartfelt song, romantic and apologetic in nature, and it doesn't need a wailing background band to convey it's sentiment. Schmidt's soulful vocals and the lyrics alone make it a gem on the collection.

MER
Revealed

I'd never heard this band before listening to the compilation, and I have to say…they're great. A smooth hard rock jamming sound abounds as the electric guitars rage on. Vocals are great and so is the beat, as the lead singer chimes, "So now I've been revealed/When I should have kept it all concealed." It's not really a song full of heated emotion, although lyrically, it's about romance and second chances. The band got a good electric kind of sound, surely worthy of the exposure this album will bring them.

Melbourne
Alyson

If you like the happy love songs with a hard rock edge, this song is for you. The band has a great modern rock vibe, similar to that of Graham Colton or Staind. It features a great bridge section with that electrically foggy sound on the vocals. It's refreshing to hear a hard rock song that's based on a positive note. After hearing this, I would definitely want to hear more from the band, which has the potential to make it big.

Its a new week and a new contest. If you'd like to win a free CD, just send us a list of CD Release dates for as many artists listed on our site as possible with your name, address and email address to contests@discoveringartists.com. Winners will be announced Monday, September 29, 2003 via email.
