Eclipses for Eyes - Box of Secrets

If ever there was a band whose sound reminded me of a cross between Evanescence (having a female lead singer) and Yellowcard (the inclusion of an electric violin) Eclipses for Eyes fits the bill. Their music is solid and polished while still being unique enough to catch my ear. I won't pretend to know anything about this group but if anyone had more to share about Eclipses for Eyes feel free to chime in. Fifteen years ago when commercial radio and MTV still took chances this band may have had a future. Unfortunately in these times they will be relegated to touring the country in a van playing small shows in tiny venues. They deserve better.

Beastie Boys - Sabotage

Music video by The Beastie Boys performing Sabotage. The music video for Sabotage kind of made my summer back in the mid-1990s (1996 maybe?) because it was just the perfect showcase of how carefree the Beastie Boys were. They created music because they loved music and they had fun with the presentation of it. With the passing today of Adam Yauch (MCA) the music world had changed. THe Beastie Boys brand of music will be missed.

Lost In Atlantis - Tek No

 Tek-No is the new hit single from Lost in Atlantis's debut album Silent World. Their music vid influenced by the group's futuristic dance synths and live performances tells the story of perseverance inspired by their real-life journey to be rock superstars. Space-age digital animation portrays the intergalactic drama; get Lost In Atlantis' Tek No and discover if they overcome the many perils of outer-space with the awesome power of "Rock-tron-ica"-- a genre coined by their fans.

 Even though they call themselves basically an electronica-based band, Tek No by Lost in Atlantis is very much a straight-forward guitar-driven rock song that is infectious as all hell. Again, it's another one of those songs that could fill many voids in the radio landscape and if it were exposed via radio it would likely have serious mass appeal.

Uh Huh Her - Not A Love Song

It's amazing that Not a Love Song by Uh Huh Her is such a powerful song. I am not normally a fan of music whose basis is electronic in nature but the two ladies of Uh Huh Her pull this song off perfectly. If American radio stations had an ounce of taste, this song would be huge. Did I mention that there's a unicorn in the video? Well there is so check it out.
