There are some singer/songwriters whose music stays with you long after hearing it, drawing you back for another listen. Chris Watkins and his band Drunk Poets make that kind of music, reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Shawn Mullins and Lou Reed – simple, pure and honest, but always with a compelling story. His smooth low-key vocals are incredibly soothing to the ear, yet at the same time quite powerful.

Caroline White heals the broken hearted with her honest and soft expressive vocal display in “Warmth Equation.” The music is similar to groups like First Aid Kit and a more laid back Of Monsters and Men. White almost reminds me of a less punk Kimya Dawson with her folk-based presence. The album reminds of the days post-relationship when you finally start to realize that everything’s going to be alright.
Although Infinity Crush’s Derrick Brandon and Caroline White only met about two years ago, they hit it off almost immediately. They became best friends quickly, and it wasn’t long before White began to integrate Brandon into her music.

Southern rock revivalist, C2 and the Brothers Reed, seizes the day with a lost charisma and stagemanship forgotten in today’s musical diarrhea of half-ass talented youtube stars and whiny little emo kids with wifi. The guys are spitting sparks, working on a high voltage plain; they are raising, from the grave, a vintage era of sex, drugs and great fucking music!
