So Far, So Good 2015 (July 5, 2015)

July 1, 2007 - No More Kings - the first blog post of the Emerge Music Group.  Now, 8 years and over 400 bands later, it's time to change things up.  I haven't missed a week of posting in 8 years no matter what was going on in my work or personal life.  And while I won't be posting every Sunday as I have been, I will still be sharing my favorite new bands with anyone who wants to read about them so be sure to follow me on Twitter (@emergemusic) and keep an eye on our Facebook Page and Blog when there is more to share than just a quick tweet.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of this and read some of these - hopefully you've found some new bands/music that has made your day/week/life better.  It's been fun sharing all of these bands with you!

To round out 8 great years of blogging I am happy to share my mid-year "best of" list - "So Far, So Good 2015" - the best songs I've heard during the first half of the year. Some of these songs are brand new, some of them were just new to me.  Either way, I hope everyone can find a few songs to enjoy from this list!
