Radio Nowhere is an alternative pop rock band from Oakland, CA, that sounds like Elvis Costello fronting Counting Crows. They’re releasing a 4-track debut EP for free from their website: www.radionowhere.net.

That website also keeps with the Music 2.0 trend by having a blog in which the band chronicles the source of their inspiration for songs, even posting original, rough sketches (something that we’ve never felt able to do for fear of sheer embarassment). It sounds good, though, and offers an insight into the mind of the artist: something that potential fans can connect with in a way that was never-before possible.

Check out Radio Nowhere at their website, or on Twitter, @radionowhere.  Or, you can just listen here:

He describes his music as “rock music that sounds like a bull shark devouring your comfort food…”  We’d say his effective use of vocal chorus effects makes it sound a bit more like Ozzy Ozbourne back when he still had a functional memory, and with a slightly better voice.

But don’t take it from us, just give it a listen:

Derek Jordan can be found on his web site: www.derekjordanmusic.com, on Twitter, @DerekJordanRock, or, in keeping with Music 2.0 (as they’re calling it), Derek has a blog covering his progress of recording his upcoming album, which you can find here: derekjordansblog.blogspot.com.

The Minor Kings are a melodic-rock band from Nashville, TN, that is independently and locally produced.  They believe that music is a service and its purpose is to be heard.

Personally, their sound reminds me of a cross between Oasis and Audioslave.  They’ve got the catchiness of Oasis, along with the more grunge rock guitar sound of Audioslave.  Unlike a lot of today’s bands, it appears that great care has been taken in producing a mix where the lead vocals cut right through to the front - a feature that I’ve come to appreciate as being actually quite difficult to achieve.

Without further ado, we give you The Minor Kings - Red Flags (Green Lights).  Hope you enjoy!

Sola Rosa started as a one man show, and now boasts members from some other successful bands like Fat Freddy’s Drop (highly recommended),  and Pluto (also highly recommended).  They’ve got a unique, latin nu-jazz sound in today’s track, so definitely give it a listen.
