alright, i know this is a shameless plug, but my little bro is on his way to actually achieving his dreams of a musical career. a few months back, him & some friends realized they all had musical talent with an interest in the same styles, so naturally, they started a band. thing is, they quickly found a couple connections that hooked them up with a producer & a promoter, and after some reviews, they ended up getting a tour booked for this summer. in preparation for that, they just released their first single the other day. i understand most people don't regularly listen to this type of music, but give it a once-through - if you like it, great... tell all your friends! if not, that's fine too... just appreciate the musicianship & determination of these kids (i say kids, but they're like early 20s now). enough yappin... on with the tunes!!
