^ This compilation is full of win!

Glad that you like it. The Dear Hunter is such an underrated band. Casey is amazing at what he does.

Circa Survive are great too, I can see how some people don't like Green's vocals though, and I've been a fan of Portugal. The Man ever since I saw them live. I got introduced to Portugal. The Man and Circle Takes the Square on the same night. Needless to say, that was a very good night for me.

yea, I can see how some people aren't a huge fan of Anthony's Vocals. But he truly is a great singer and I personally love his voice. And yea...The Dear Hunter, just a totally under appreciated band. Thanks a lot for checkin them both out.

RIVERSIDE
http://static.metal-archives.com/ima...6437_photo.jpg

This progressive Rock/Metal band hail from Poland although singer/main songwriter Mariusz Duda sings in English. If you are a fan of Porcupine Tree and need a fix of something similar then Riverside are for you. While not as technically competent or eclectic as PT, they are a good solid band who rely on Duda's emotive voice rather than any particular band members superior musicianship. If for some reason you have never heard of Porcupine Tree, then fans of latter day Pink Floyd should like what they do.

JOHN MARTYN
http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/71855...45704FE6840619

One of Britains national treasures. Unfortunately many of the music loving people of the UK have never heard of him. Damn shame as Martyn has one of the most distinctive and faultless voices you will ever hear. A self confessed romantic coupled with an addiction to booze creates a lost soul, seemingingly adrift since his divorce way back in 1980. Originally a folk guitarist who has encompassed the Blues, a little Physchedelia, rock , Jazz and wrapped it up in a voice that many soul artists would kill for. John Martyn is a highly revered artist in musicians circles, yet his name is barely a cult in his native U.K.

His breakthrough album Solid Air (1973) is a British classic with the title track a highly personal eulogy to his close friend Nick Drake and features possibly his greatest track I Don't Want To Know. His other revered classic is Grace And Danger (1980) which dealt specifically with his marriage break up and very rarely has an artist used an album as an emotional catharsis and been so open about it.

Martyn's music evokes the rolling hills of Scotland (his native home) while evocating a simple life of love and to be loved. An artist as important as Van Morrison and as heart wrenchingly honest as Nick Drake. I give you John Martyn.

Minus the Bear

http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/dotlin...b/3b4cd078.jpg

Minus the Bear is Seattle based 5 piece. They mix all kinds of sounds into their music and have a very distinct sound. I cant think of one band I could use to compare them to. If you like good music, Minus the Bear should be in your Library. The music for the most part has a really upbeat feel that comes from the tone of effect of Dave's guitar. Minus the Bear is a band I can recommend to just about anyone. I think a lot of you guys on the boards would love them if you havent already heard them.
