Title: “If I Could Take You Home”
Off their most recent album “Collapsible Lung,” “If I Could Take You Home” is a must-have on your iPod/mp3. This is the perfect album that takes you back to your carefree summer days. The song is alternative pop-rock that will be sure to get you off your feet. Lyrically it explores the typical crush. We have all had that one person who we feel is out of our league.
Artist: HIM
Title: “Tears on Tape”
HIM recently released their album “Tears on Tape,” which is a “hats-off to all of the songs that made us who we are,” according to frontman Ville Valo. The track is about life, love and the power of music. Many bands such as Black Sabbath and Kiss that influenced the members of HIM are shown their respect in this album. HIM is the only Finnish band to achieve gold album status in the United States. Their sound is so unique as it combines rock, metal, alternative and so much more.
Artist: The Moxy
Title: “Panic Room” (acoustic version)
The pop-rock group from West Chester, Penn., is a group to look out for. This song is catchy and a blast to listen to. It is a fun, upbeat acoustic track that you will be singing for days. The female vocalist sings about breaking away and being able to stand on her own. It’s the kind of band you discover at a small bar or nightclub and can’t stop listening to.
Artist: Cables & Confessions
Title: “Palmer Street”
Cables & Confessions is a local acoustic and indie rock group out of Monroe, Conn. “Palmer Street” is a track off their debut (self-recorded) album “Divergent Boundaries.” The group is passionate about their music, which shows in the quality of their music. “Palmer Street” begins with a soft acoustic guitar intro and is followed by a catchy melody. I am a big supporter of local music and it is always great when people share and support local talent. Check out Cables & Confessions and one of my favorite tracks “Palmer Street.”
