Hey thanks in advance to anyone checking out Dre Carlan. It really does mean a lot. As some cool, bonus material, there are scans of my original lyrics & guitar tabs with each download.

If their MySpace is anything to go by, Never Drafted is really, really unfortunately mastered/mixed. I generally think that great music shines through a not-so-great recording, but I'm not even sure on this point.

Shame.

KeithCharles Spacebar is some chill stuff.

lol @ seeing bands I've known about for a year that are still small.

Icarus the owl and Authors = great finds

It is really cool to be featured here! I hope you guys enjoy my ep! (Andrea Caccese) . Feel free to come up to my site and get in touch via facebook!

Checking out Never Drafted, Animal Skin, Citadel, Icarus the Owl, Snowmobile, and Authors. Good week.

ICARUS THE OWL :o :o :o their spotless mind album was flawless!

Everyone should download Snowmobile, it's so good.
