Sample This-EP by Iration

This week we have an EP by Iration. After debuting this sample album, Iration rapidly gained an incredible amount of followers who have nothing but good things to say about the band and all the work they've done since this EP. These obsessed fans aren't wrong either; Iration is an amazing band that constantly evolves with their sounds and lyrics. As for this album... though it is only four songs long it somehow seems to play through your stereo for hours on end. Starting off we have Falling, a slower song with an island feel. Then we have Wait and See, an awesome song that is a little more upbeat and some really good guitar riffs. My personal favorite, I'm With You is a stellar song that will stick in your head for weeks though it's not a bad thing. And finally we have Electricity, another love song with a powerful message and again, a great sound. Altogether this EP is amazing even with only four songs. So if you haven't already, go buy this sampler and as many other albums from Iration as you can afford. I promise you won't be disappointed. 5 of 5 Stars.

Tammi Was by Close Enough

Hey all,
I have a present for everyone this week. Available for free is the song Tammi Was by the band Close Enough at HillyDilly.com. This song is actually from a compilation album called Sense Boardwear's Poetry In Motion Vol. 5. As far as the song goes though, smooth lyrics combined with a great guitar riff will have your head bobbin in no time. Later on the guitar turns electric which does nothing but add to the overall quality of the song. I really don't have much to say about this song other than it is awesome and even better...It's FREE! Go download it and enjoy. 5 of 5 Stars.

Don't Drag Me Down by One Drop

This week I have just another single song for you. This song, called Don't Drag Me Down was originally done by the punk rock band Social Distortion. It was already a fantastic as it was but One Drop decided not only to play it themselves but also put some of their own reggae style in. It is this unique sound added to a previously punk rock song that I absolutely love. As far as covers go, few are as good as the original but this one is at least on par with it. I recommend this song to any reggae listeners or even Social D listeners. It is an amazing take on an already amazing song. The rest of this awesome band's debut album is pretty rad as well. Enjoy! 4 of 5 Stars.

Whats Inside Counts by Clear Conscience

Chances are, you have never heard of Clear Conscience before. Why? I don't know because they rock. So here's what you're going to do... Go buy, download, or do whatever it takes to get a hold of their music. My favorite album: Whats Inside Counts. Songs like Island Feeling, Straight Line, or Remedy will instantly become your most listened to. These songs have the greatest laid back, relaxing kind of feel that you need after a long day of work or school. If you have that urge to listen to a little reggae rap style too, Bloods Gonna Run is a solid song if your in the mood. So go buy the album (not a bad cover to look at) pop it in after a hard day of work and relax knowing you've got a Clear Conscience. 4 of 5 Stars
