Today's song is by a band called The Features. What I love about this band is that it falls somewhere in between mainstream and hipster. No group can call it "their" music, which is something that happens to a lot of music groups. This song has such a cool mix of guitar licks, fiddles, and even a little bit of psychedelic sounds. This band is also awesome live! I saw them at Edgefest last year, and was incredibly impressed. Today's instrumental song is from the movie The Eagle. This song has a great folk element to it that sounds amazing! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have some music for you that is so refreshing because it is just some good old rock and roll. This song is by a band called Splitter, a name that I would automatically think would suit a more metal sound. But this song is what I think the Beatles would sound like if they had a little heavier rock. And I love it!

Every kind of artists needs some evolution, it just so happens that a second band proves to be a bit of that evolution for the Beatles. This song opens up with a repeated guitar rhythm ...
