New Artist Links . . . . Songsters and Tellers of Truth

You have got to check these out!

Some new artist links of some of our favorite artists. . . . all of them share one thing in common: INTEGRITY. To the music, to saying it like it is, to their fans.

One sentence descriptions:

Bill Mallonee: Indie Americana Songster with a voice that grabs your t-shirt in a dark alley to remind you he's been hobo-ing on the Truth Train much too long to let you get away with "easy."

Aimee Mann: Deceptively smooth voice describes the depth of the world's emptiness but refuses to blow out the last candle.

Jars: No one sounds like them. That should be enough to listen.

POD: Front-line, hard-core--blasting the rock-rap before it was cool--warriors who will be reggae-ing the globe when it becomes cool. They write songs for fighting, and we all need a little of that.

You'll need Quicktime or Windows media player for the POD site, but its worth it. You'll also have to wait for the download, but then a real treat: watching them record with a Hasidic Reggae artist. They claim their new album coming out late fall, "Testify," will be the album of their career. BIG CLAIM. But these guys have always backed up what they say with action. They're being produced by the same guy who gave Alanis Morrisette her jagged little pill.

Enjoy.
