Salt Lake's 6-piece, Band Of Annuals has all the heartfillers of country, unique blends of folk-pop, and enough story tellin' to keep you company. I begin to reminisce a compilation of bitter sweet moments when I listen to tracks like "If You're Looking for Love" and "Don't Let Me Die." This stuff is turning indie kids into country lovers. They've got a couple EPs out and their full-length release last year, Let Me Live is full steam ahead to your ears with an awesome tour going on and and and there's a Cinema Bar show tonight in Culver City!

Finally She's back! After 3 long years, NY's Laura Cantrell is back with a digital release of her new album Trains and Boats and Planes due out mid-April! But that's not the only rad news; Laura recently had a child! Her new album is an awesome collection of covers that are themed on travel. I personally love travel songs, great for roadtrips...I love the open road (or more open than usual). Also Cantrell's got 3 of her own joints on this album as well. We got the New Order cover off the new album and two previously released tracks!

If you are a fan of folk or country music then you are in for a treat; a musical treat that is. If you are not a fan, now is your chance to convert. Expand your musical horizons and give them a listen! They are called Limbeck and they are from a little place called Orange County. Their music has a very American, folk-pop, nostalgic feel to it. Something I highly recommend listening to while you and your friends embark on a road trip or maybe just that perfect nap under the tree. I first heard Limbeck when I was in high school. I believe off of a sampler a friend of mine had. I liked it. It wasn't super spectacular or anything, not mediocre either. Just good. Real good. I don't know if this makes any sense, but maybe when you listen you'll understand. They released a new self-titled Album this year available through Dog House Records and for the month of October they will be playing at Hotel Cafe! If you go to a show they'll allow you to download the live performance.
