Lights Resolve – Feel You’re Different

I’ve been following Lights Resolve since they first started in 2006. I’ve always loved their live show and what few recordings I could find on the internet, but longed for something more. Five years later and I finally get a full length album from this exceptional band. I know there are a lot of alt rock bands out there nowadays, so it might seem odd to give them such high praise. I challenge you to take a close listen, however, because there is definitely an energy in this band that separates them from the rest of the fold. I’ve heard it in their live show, and the album just solidifies it into a form that can be shared more easily. My only complaint is that some of my favorite songs did not make the final cut. If there’s any problem a band wants, however, it’s that the fans can’t get enough of their music. Feel You’re Different officially drops today, and their cd release will be tomorrow night at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. You can find more about the band on their website, Facebook, and Twitter pages.

Matt Koziol CD Release @ Maxwell’s

Matt Koziol’s official release for the CD “Heart On The Line” was this past Sunday at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ. Whether solo or with full band, I have always been impressed with Matt as a performer. The band was especially tight Sunday night though. The room filled with the energy attached to the excitement of the new album. For those of you who were not able to attend or didn’t stop to pick up a copy of the album, you can download it on iTunes now. Pictures from the night will be available on Flickr as soon as I get a chance to sort through them all. Stay tuned to Twitter for more updates on that, as well as future dates you can check Matt out live.
