Notice When You Look Back

Rocky Votalato is a singer-songwriter who was raised in Texas until the age of 13 and then moved to Washington due to his parents divorce. Feeling isolated from this abrupt move across the country, Rocky focused on his music. While listening to different punk bands, he tried out different musical projects, finally focusing on his solo career.

We Might Live

The Troggs are a British rock group from the 60s. There most famous songs are Wild Thing and Love Is All Around (yes, that's the song in Love, Actually).

My friend played me this song, With A Girl Like You, recently and it has been stuck in my head ever since.  We were talking about how if we were to ever create a band and make music, we would want it to sound like this.

Keep The World At Bay

Be Your Guide

Broken Bells is a collaboration group formed of Danger Mouse, aka Brian Burton, and The Shins lead singer James Mercer. The pair decided to work together when they realized that they were a fan of each other's music. They announced the collaboration in September of 2009 even though they had been working together for over four years.  They released their self-titled debut album on March 9, 2010.  Because of so much success from this album they decided to keep working together on future projects.

This is 'The High Road', one of the singles from the album Broken Bells.
