There is so much good music out there, but these are a collection of songs that really stuck with me, deep into reaches of my conciousness, where the songs stay imprinted in your mind. Give these tracks a listen, check out the album reviews on this site, purchase their albums if you’ve got cash to spare and then go see them live. It’s so important to support local music. I feel very lucky to work within a scene that has been overwhelmingly supportive and is constantly growing.
