The Script - Breakeven
Okay, so I must admit that I'm a little late on this one. But am I that late? I asked some friends of mine about this song that I thought for sure had heard this song before, but it turned out they hadn't. So maybe you've heard it, maybe you haven't, but it's a perfect song. 5/5...flawless. Great vocals, great songwriting, great hook, catchy...it's got everything.The Script's website: http://www.thescriptmusic.com/gb/home/

Brandi Carlile - XOBC EP!
Hey hey...It's no secret...FirstListen is a MAJOR fan of Brandi Carlile. We were lucky enough to be involved with Miss Carlile very early on in her career (hard to believe it was 4.5 years ago!) and we still continue to love and support her and her music and so we wanted to give a you a chance to hear her new EP in its entirety. It's only available on iTunes. The best part is, to my knowledge, FirstListen is the only place (authorized) to actually stream this EP. So if you like it, please do buy it. It's only $4 and Brandi is a great artist and we recommend you support her if you like it. I'm telling you, all the tunes are great.
The EP features 2 covers (a classic from The Beatles and a classic from Bryan Adams) and 3 originals. By all means, let us know what you think of it!

Portugal. The Man (selections from the Satantic Satanist)
Portugal. The Man is a FirstListen alumini. We first worked with Portugal a few years back when they dropped the awesome album Church Mouth, found here: http://www.firstlisten.org/artist.php?id=105.
At any rate, their new record, the Satanic Satanist came out in 2009 (and no, they're not devil worshipers nor is that the message behind the title) is 1 of this year's finest albums to come out, at least I think so. The sound of this album sort of crosses rock n roll with Motown. It also sort of reminds me of Oasis at its best. We're glad to have been involved in the early development of Portugal and hope you dig them as well.

Here are a few select tracks from the album for you to check out:
Portugal. The Man - People Say
Portugal. The Man - The Sun
Portugal. The Man - Do You

So, this one may be a little outside of the box...as it's kind of country/bluegrassy pop music. Reminds me some of Nickel Creek, Alison Kraus and past FirstListen arist the Duhks. I think this might have a little more pop to it though. I think this song is very good. Great vocals, lots of conviction, cool video...I just think this song is cool. What do you think?
You can buy their latest EP (including this song) here.

Two words to describe Erik Hassle - Infectious Pop. Born and raised in Sweden, this twenty year-old has some serious talent. His soulful voice seems to come out with such ease, and when he's not melting hearts with his lyrics, he puts out some pretty solid covers of artists like Sam Cooke, Peter Gabriel, Bob Marley, and Metallica - random to say the least. Pieces, his international debut, would even make ABBA proud with its catchy hooks. Check out the videos below. You can thank me later...
Check out his video for "Hurtful"
Here's Erik Hassle covering Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come"
Click here to purchase "Pieces".
Don't forget to post some feedback!

New Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
Grace Potter's Official Website
Grace Potter on MySpace
As some of you may remember (and some may not), we worked with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals on their last album "This is Somewhere." Grace has put out a new (self-titled) record and we think it's fabulous. In fact, I actually like it better than the last album and I enjoyed the last one quite a bit.
If you haven't checked out Grace Potter, now is the perfect time to do so. If you were familiar in the past and liked her (or didn't like her for that matter!), check out the new album.
The record is only $8 on itunes, and you can buy it here.
Here are a couple favorites...
Paris (Ooh La La)
&
Goodbye Kiss

Evan Taubenfeld - Merry Swiftmas!

Thought we'd throw something a little different your way. This song of Evan's was co-written by FirstListen alum Adam Richman. It's catchy, it's clever, and it's perfect for the holiday season. Hope you like it.
If you want to buy the song, you can do so here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/merry- ... =346025746

So check out this guy named Plan B. He's a British musician who kind of has the blue eyed soul thing, but also does a little rapping too. It sounds like it might not work, but it does. The guy has some good songs! Here are some of them. What do you think?
"Free"
"She Said"
"I Know a Song"

Piano, bass and drums...that's all that the Crash Kings need, and you know what, it works. Their self-titled debut album has a little bit of everything: hard-hitting rock like "You Got Me" and "Mountain Man" to catchy pop on "My Love" to "It's Only Wednesday" which seems to be taken out of the pages of The Hush Sound. In a time of one hit wonders, this band is so refreshingly unique. I think the album's producer, Dave Sardy, said it best: "The Crash Kings are the missing link between Queen and Rage Against the Machine". Enough said.
Be sure to check out their video: "Evolution of Guitar Rock - With No Guitars"
You can buy the Crash Kings self-titled debut album here
