Checking out Katie Sky and The Willow & The Builder.

Edit: Holy crap, her voice is adorable.

Checking out a lot of these, and I can already vouch that Up River is legit.

I recommend Atlas Hands, song is tits

Tim Armor is so fucking good, everybody should pick that one up! If you live in the mid-Michigan area, they're playing at my house on November 29! Hit me up for detaiiillllssss.

Wow that Willow and the Builder EP is amazing...

I'm a fan of The Willow & The Builder, Atlas Hands and The Alexander, myself.

Jonas Sees In Color - "Terminal Patient" & Atlas Hands - "Silhouettes" are great!!

Everyone please check out my band Every Atlas.
