Harvard - Red Dress
----------------In every issue of Alternative Press magazine, two pages of rock research are given to the up-and-coming movers and shakers for today and tomorrow's scenesters. One group most recently included is Harvard, the prog-rock sludgy band from Charlotte, North Carolina. While in their hometown, the members of Harvard can be found judging local battle of the bands tournaments and "in the lab (as it says on their Myspace page)" recording a fresh demo. "Red Dress" floats unevenly and mystically through jaunted guitars and discordant vocals. True, it may seem like a mess, but any fans of Circa Survive will dig it.

Benjamin Pacheco - Falling Away
--------------Benjamin Pacheco probably never expected his song "Falling Away" to be heard by millions by backing up a major corporation's lemon-lime beverage. Yes, "Falling Away" is the 'take me there" song of the Sprite commercials where everyone jumps into the illusioned basketball court/swimming pool.
But the Dayton, Ohio songwriter who hit up Harvard for tech services unabashedly acknowledges the commercialism and embraces the song as "his best work."
