Hey, thanks for including me. D'ya think it'd be possible to add "RIYL: Owl City, Relient K, Hawk Nelson" to "Light And Colour" by Summertime's End? It'd give a better picture of what the music sounds like. :)

Really liking that Shirts From Matthew Ep. Super
Stoked its a free download as well. Well worth the listen.

I love In Mourning and I was unaware they had a new album coming out, I'm pumped now!

Really like what I hear from My Empire of Sound

Really liking Worlds Away. Never really heard that kind of post rock before.
