Okay guys, this is a fabulous band to come back to. I'm so pumped to share this with you.

Name: Diary of Snow

Genre: Acoustic/Ambient/Alternative

• MySpace - http://m.myspace.com/home.wap?bfd=webnext&isredirected=true#friends.list/profile/530135070

Be sure to check out all of their websites and like and follow them for constant updates. This is a great band to get back into my writing with, and I'm so excited. Lets begin, shall we? 

So this band has been very patient with me, and I thank you guys so much. They messaged me back in November, but here it is, just like I promised. 

Diary of Snow is an interesting mix of their genres above, creating a unique and creative sound that pulls you in from their first note played. When I hit the play button for California, I was immediately attached. I knew automatically what to expect, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I knew that I would love the music. Their sound reminds me of an old-school NSN meets Owl City, and who would've thought that the product would be so intriguing? 

Not only that, their lyrics are killer, true, and raw. Quotable for sure, ha, and I was ready to go tweet them as soon as I heard them. I didn't, because I'm currently engaged, but it's the thought that counts right? The mix of songs on their PureVolume page is very impressive as well. The songs range on the emotional gradient, which is nice, because most bands tend to stick to one type of feeling. Diversity and uniqueness will definitely send this band to the top in only a matter of time. 

Jordan, Trevor, and Erik describe Diary of Snow has not a project, nor a band, but as a movement, which I completely agree with and love. They are achieving their goals, and that's an amazing thing. Their debut album became available for free download on January 10, 2013, and their song, Baby, I Love You [Album Version], is available for free download. 

Also be sure to check out their side project, Cheyenne's Music Box here!

Follow the blog, follow them, and show us all some love.
We appreciate everything you do for us. Without you after all, there wouldn't be an us (:

*Side note: I'll be posting more once my new computer comes in. I haven't had much technical luck lately, with my original computer crashing, then my new one freezing up constantly. It's been hard to make this happen, but I will be posting again. Not daily, because I'd like to do a better job posting so it may turn into one or two a week. Keep an eye out (: xo*

Mr. Saint Hope.

Yay! Fellow Texan! I'm so excited to write this.

Name: Mr. Saint Hope
Genres: Acoustic/Indie/Ambient
Where to find him:

• PureVolume -  http://www.purevolume.com/HomeTeamHuman

Okay so the only word that is popping into my mind at the moment is weird. 

Listen, and you'll know why.

This isn't the kind of weird that makes you feel weird though. It's just weird. A word which I just looked up and found that we have been using it in the wrong sense for quite some time, but a word that still applies. Mr. Saint Hope makes music that sound supernatural. 

I think the best genre that is listed to describe this music is ambient. The music itself surrounds you, and your mind, and puts you in that comfy place that I have talked about before. I feel as if my mind is being numbed just by listening without really listening. If I were to take a moment to stop and really listen, I'm quite sure that I would just stop. 

Which in reality, we all need to do.

So make it stop. Go to PureVolume and listen.

Mikey Kedzorski.

Well, well, well... Mikey, you should definitely feel special. Not only are you my first artist post in awhile, but you also totally skipped to the front of the line. Tonight was actually supposed to be someone else, but since yesterday I said that I was going to be doing your post, I must follow through.

Name: Mikey Kedzorski
Genres: Acoustic/Rock/Folk
Where to find him:

• PureVolume -  http://www.purevolume.com/new/MichaelKedzorski
• Twitter -   https://twitter.com/#!/Mikeked
• Facebook -  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michael-Kedzorski/162509

(Warning on the Facebook... I tried to go to his page, but it said, "Sorry, this profile is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later." So no promises it works. But don't be scared to try it.)

Alrighty so my Mikey boy, do tell, what inspires you? Because your songs are adorable. This guy really has a nice clean sound. By now you guys must be picking up on the fact that I favor the acoustic-slash-minimalist sound. That's exactly what he has. His Wouldn't It Be Nice? cover (Beach Boys for those of you that are clueless) is amazing. 

Now I must say, he doesn't have the best voice. You can tell when he's straining a bit to hit his notes, but I kind of like it. It makes him real. He's not perfect, and it gives his music character, because it's not often or extremely noticeable. I like it personally. 

Oh and another thing that is absolutely freaking amazing that I love oh-so-much is the fact that all four of his songs are downloadable off of PureVolume. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! 

Excitement. This is great. So be sure to download him.

I really dig his sound. Whoever he's singing about should feel special, because you don't just write those kinds of songs about anybody for no reason.

Jimmy Bullins.

Let the real Slim Shady stand up... Or Jimmy Bullins. Ha, sorry, I had to. This guy is my first R&B/Rap post.

Name: Jimmy Bullins
Genres: R&B/Club/Acoustic
Where to find him:

• PureVolume -  http://www.purevolume.com/JimBob

So, unfortunately this is going to be a short post (Sorry man), because 1) I am not a "rap" person. And 2) I have to be up at 4 tomorrow to fulfill a previous commitment. Therefore this will probably not be the best blog ever, because I'm tired, and I'm ready for bed and not close to getting there.

But I still wish for the world to know about the one and only Slim Shady (Ha, I'm sorry. I just can't help it. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw his picture.). Jimmy has an exceptional taste for his music, mainly because it's something called tasteful. He isn't super sexual, or degrading. The beat is nice, and it has a real flow. I, as I said, am no fan of rap music really, but his is standable to me, which is saying a lot. Really and truly. 

I think I say that, because I can groove to his songs, as well as actually understand what is being said. That in itself is a great thing.

So even if you are not a rap lover, listen to him anyway. You might surprise yourself.

Zac Koval.

Ha, finally. I've been waiting to post on this kid forever. He's a real gem, as well as a real cutie. (; (feelin' special Zac? You got my first text-smiley haha.)

Name: Zac Koval
Genres: Indie/Pop/Acoustic
Where to find him:

• PureVolume -  http://www.purevolume.com/ZacKoval
• Facebook -  http://www.facebook.com/ZacKovalMusic
• Twitter -  https://twitter.com/#!/zackoval
• Reverb Nation -  http://www.reverbnation.com/zacharykoval
• MySpace -  http://www.myspace.com/zackoval

Okay, so this guy. Where to start? He's great. He's clean. He's simple. He's not flashy, yet he stays memorable. He sings from the heart. He reminded me first off of the acoustic NeverShoutNever, but on his Reverb Nation profile, under his "sounds like" tab, it says he sounds like Matt Nathanson, which I can totally see. 

This 17-year-old has such a mature sound, and he has the music that could melt your heart (or as a friend of mine said, your panties. Eep! Not my words, but probably very true. No comment.). I love how he doesn't overproduce or feel the need to add a bunch to his music. He keeps it clean with his guitar and his voice - the only two instruments that an artist should need. Personally my favorite type of music, because you know it's real. You know it's him, and you know he really and truly is that talented.

I wish I could say I know where some free downloads are at for this guy, but I can't. (I know, makes me sad too.) So save up some iTunes credits, and get your fill of Zac on there. 

Keep putting out the tunes lovely! You're doing great!
