Lifehouse – Halfway Gone
The Christian rockers are back, and with an alternative sound. Lifehouse for years have made a sound for themselves with songs like “You & Me”, “First Time”, & the mega-hit “Hanging my a moment”. With Halfway Gone Lifehouse sounds a bit pissed and to stress there anger they used a techno mixer and “wooooooooos” I must admit I've been a Lifehouse fan since their start but this sound could make any alternativee Death Cab fansplay-listst (even if this band is sooooo corporatete)
Train - “Hey Soul Sister”
The feel good song of the year, and its not one month in. This is just another hit in Train resume. A bit of a rip of Jason Mraz's “I'm Yours” with the simplicity and sunny day with the windows down vibe. This is a love song for the guys who are too tough to admit it, but yet cant get someone out of there mind. With lyrics like:
“The way you can't cut a rug, watching you's the only drug I need
You're so gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me “
Weather your a G & R fan or a Dashboard fan this is a song you cant resist.
Crash Kings - "Mountain Man"
Nothing quite beats a song that starts off with a bass line like this jam. These California rockers debut with this song that could easily be mislabeled “slipping on some sunshine” on some illegal downloading site. Mountain Man resembles Jet an there early years as young upstart rockers. This is a must listen to song for anyone who is a fan of the late 70's/ early 80's post glam rock and into stadium rock!
