A few weeks ago I got turned on to a great band from Vancouver BC, The Good News. The lead singer reminds me of Craig Finn from The Hold Steady while the music is some solid kick ass pop. Driving songs with super hooky choruses are just a couple of this group’s strengths.
Here are a couple of my favorite songs:
The Good News – Backstage Underage

The Good News – It’s Too Soon To Call

Hopefully I’ll be able to catch one of their shows when I’m in Vancouver later this summer.
(ps While looking for a pic of the band, I came across this blog post which had posted the same songs as I have here. Funny and coincidental, but I swear I picked these out of the 2 EPs I got. I guess we just have similar taste :) The video I did find there.)
Tristen has been hitting the road hard leading up to her LP release. She recently completed a northeastern US tour with a stop at NXNE in Toronto. Check out this video from the tour:
The collection of songs she made in her Nashville apartment is also available at Bandcamp now, where you can preview or support by purchase.
Her studio LP should be coming out very soon….. patience people, patience. It’s gonna be worth it.
we’ve just created our own bandcamp page where you can download free music from the folks in holly house. right now all we have are the tunes from the American Songwriter sessions, but check back for new music soon. it’s gonna be radtastic.

Congratulations to Ms. Caitlin Rose for kicking ass and taking names at last night’s Road to Bonnaroo! Have fun in Manchester!
Tomorrow is April 17th and that means it’s Record Store Day. We think you should scoot your tush on down to Grimey’s and pick up some rad tuneage. They’re gonna have sales, bands playing, beer, and all kind of good times.
We recommend you get there a little before 1 PM and check out Bows and Arrows. We’ve seen them a couple of times and they’re really good. Pick up their brand new 7″ Let’s Take On the Night while you’re at it. Here’s the opening track from the record.
