Check out "Daisies," the latest video from Minneapolis pop rock girl group, Sick of Sarah.

Fusing classical guitar, bossa nova and acoustic Cuban influences, JOSE GONZALEZ sings a gem that may cause a few "Teardrops".

TWO GALLANTS posses a cathartic, stripped-down sound and depth of material to forge an intimate bond with a wide array of fans.

ART IN MANILA's single, "Set The Woods On Fire", takes a mixture of seemingly random scenes and brings them all together.

In "Four Winds", BRIGHT EYES is "off to old Dakota where genocide sleeps/in the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East/I buried my ballast, I made my peace."

The upbeat "Need Your Needs" is rounded out by a Talking Heads-influenced rhythm section and complemented by dynamic male/female harmonies.

"Hot Knives" is particularly spirited, bringing to mind the true energy of a BRIGHT EYES show.

Informed by a sharp lyrical pathos and dynamic interplay, CURSIVE returns to raise the bar with yet another groundbreaking single, "Big Bang".

"A Good Start" is propelled by a vicious groove influenced by one Maria's favorite hobbies - playing the drums.

Musically, Omaha, Nebraska's THE GOOD LIFE lives in a moment of that complexity. Led by CURSIVE's Tim Kasher (vocals, guitar), the band featuring Stefanie Drootin (bass), Roger Lewis (drums), and Ryan Fox (guitar, keys) creates bold songs that are not afraid of the mixed up emotions they describe, sometimes in vicious, heart-battering detail.

CURSIVE's reemergence finds them self-assured and assertive as ever, marked by a new bounce and a buoyant strut.

YEAR LONG DISASTER modifies the original blues models of early 1970s southern rock to play shuffles as bass backbeat.

A freak chocolate bar accident leaves IMMACULATE MACHINE running late for their big show, but they save the day with a spontaneous performance.

THE AWKWARD STAGE sings a tender tale of the loneliness and solitude of a woman, her cat and the bond they share.

"The Kiss" is the first video from Karmina's debut album, Backwards Into Beauty. The video features real-life couples who overcame the pressures of friends, family or cultures in order to be together. The song is influenced by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and the imagery of painter Gustav Klimt. www.myspace.com/karmina www.karmina.com
