Move Our West (January 29, 2012)

This week's featured band is Move Out West (http://www.facebook.com/MoveOutWest), a hard working band with a ton of potential. Their debut EP "On The Run", released in 2011, shows off their ability to stand out among a number of bands in the pop/rock (Warped Tour ready) genre.  Be sure to head over to their Pure Volume page (http://www.purevolume.com/new/moveoutwest) where there are a ton of free downloads to show off what they are capable of. We'll be hearing a lot more from Move Out West so get to know them now!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Talia Segal (January 22, 2012)

Talia Segal (www.facebook.com/TaliaSegalMusic) is a Washington, DC area singer songwriter with a great voice and a sweet, quirky style.  Her easy going, folk sound reminds me of a simpler time when music was about voice and instruments and not about "production value" and "autotune." The girl can play and the girl can sing!  Her new album, "The Thing Itself," is coming out soon so be sure to "like" her official fanpage to get your hands on it! You can also head over to her website (http://www.taliasegalmusic.com) to hear some of her new songs.

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Ivan & Alyosha (January 15, 2012)

Ivan & Alyosha (http://share.ivanandalyosha.com/) have a warm, full sound that is perfect for these cold days of winter.  They combine great harmonies with an easy going indie rock style that is fantastic.  I have trouble comparing them to other groups because the comparisons never work. So go listen to them for yourself and decide - while you're on their website pick up a free download of their song "Glorify." 

If you're not already following the Emerge Music Group on twitter you are missing out on free downloads, special features and more! https://twitter.com/emergemusic

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Stars Go Dim (January 8, 2012)

This week's featured band is Stars Go Dim (http://www.facebook.com/starsgodim) who may already have more fans than many Emerge bands but definitely fall into that category of "next big thing." This band, from Tulsa, OK, released their latest album, "Between Here and Now" towards the end of 2011 and it's a huge step forward.  The first single, "Hesitant" is a hit record just waiting to be heard. And if you head over to their facebook page you can pick up a bunch of free songs which I highly recommend!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!
