Rose Reiter Real v3.0 Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada www.rosereiter.com In the 90s when female fronted, down-tempo, piano rock graced the airwaves, sold millions of records and sold out concerts, it could have been considered the prime era for this genre. As we’ve seen from some of those leading ladies, it’s kind of tough to make it playing the same music…

MannRock MANNROCK Woodbury, NJ www.mannrock.com From the minute you play any of Mannrock’s tracks you are thrust straight into the thug life. This isn’t your local radio station’s newest single about Cristal and the disco club. This is the real sh*t. It’s real issues.

Appetizer is no exception, improving upon past pieces, adding levels that further display their emotional connection with, passion for, and musical…

The Scott Harris Project The Sixteenth Minute Long Island, NY www.ScottHarrisMusic.net Mix John Mayer with some actual oomph, and you’ll have Long Island’s Scott Harris. The Sixteenth Minute isn’t necessarily anything you haven’t heard before, but rather a quality contribution to the commercial acoustic trend we’ve witnessed over the last several years. What sets Harris apart is that he’s able…

Roselind Roselind Philadelphia, PA www.Roselind.com One thing that Roselind likes to do is harmonize. There must be a harmony of some form or another in every track off their self-titled EP. And they don’t just do it, but they perform it well. Especially on the radio friendly “Never Be The Same”, not only are there vocal harmonies but they have…
