Give Me Light: The Wayne Foundation Compilation

Well, if you have listened to my podcasts or read my blog since last summer, you might be aware that I've been using some of my time trying to put together a compilation of female artists/female-led bands that I could put up on Bandcamp and sell to benefit The Wayne Foundation

I have completed it and uploaded it and it's on sale now!

It's only $2 (or more if you're so inclined...) and the track list is as follows:

1. She Might Bite - Empty
2. The Jesse Minute - Sinking
3. My First Earthquake - Neon For You
4. Blue Bird - Give Me Light
5. The Nearly Deads - Never Look Back
6. Alyssa Poppin - Scream Out
7. Dessa - Into the Spin

And you can click this link to download the album!

I really feel like it has something for every type of music fan.
So tell your friends, tell your family, shout it from the rooftops!

Totally coherent and non-rambly musings with musical accompaniment...

Ok, so maybe I sound distracted and "crazy" on this week's episode. So what? So do you! I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. Friends? Awesome.

Review of She Might Bite "Sinister Device"

It's so exciting to get emails from bands that are JUST getting started in what are sure to be huge careers. I got such an email the other day from a girl named Tara in Kentucky. She and her sister Courtney started a band called She Might Bite and set out to make a folk EP. But then Tara got her hands on an electric guitar.

What followed was this four song rock EP. I've only heard the first track, "Sinister Device" And wow. I mean, this is rock and roll, people. It's full speed ahead rock with guitar solos that sneak up on you. I've never had the experience of a surprise guitar solo, but this song has two of them. I'm listening to it and all of a sudden it's like "SURPRISE the solo started 10 seconds ago and you were too busy rocking out to notice!" Love it.

"The sisters now view their EP as a catalyst. Drummer Kat Slaughter has joined and the trio is working on lots of new material inspired by hill country blues, 70s rock and punk." - From their bandcamp page

I'm really excited about this band and what will come of them. Go to their bandcamp page and get this album now.
