David Reed - Better Be Careful Now

--------------"I wrote these songs for the both of us." Hmmm...a good or bad connotation from that indecipherable dedication? I'm left to scratch my head and sip on some cinnamon coffee as I listen to David Reed, a singersongwitermusician from South Carolina. Listeners are able to get a glimpse of Reed's private life, and oh, don't we love snooping around! Reed should drive his bag of love-complicated-by-trial speedbumps to the set of One Tree Hill (which doesn't have Payton Sawyer on the show anymore! Worthless!)

Oops, ha, sorry...still trying to let that one go. Anyways, Reed's music sounds like a solo project from Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba, meaning if you enjoy contemplating serious thematic elements such as intergalactic lifeforms or that girl who denied your friend request, David Reed should be blasting from your ipod earbuds. Get "Better Be Careful Now" from Reed's album, Missteps and Miscommunications: The Private Life of David Reed.

Carolina Liar - I'm Not Over

-------------The need for closure is something sensitive artists can articulate to nearly every broken-hearted, troubled soul. Carolina Liar's lead singer Chad Wolf takes the complications of post-breakup problems through "I'm Not Over" with aggrivated southern rock combinations and an anthemic chorus. The L.A. band has made success as background music for hit shows such as One Tree Hill and The Hills. Carolina Liar's "I'm Not Over" can be found on the band's 2008 debut album, Coming to Terms.

Kate Voegele - Manhattan From the Sky

-----------Now as One Tree Hill tells it, Kate Voegele writes this "Thousand Miles"-type love song as inspiration from her new fictional flame (Stephen from Laguna Beach, like ZOMG!). Sure her Myspace page may be coated in glamour shots, and you may not be into chick singers, but Kate Voegele's performance in "Manhattan From the Sky" is worth the listen. With tumbling piano and a relaxed sense of adventure, "Manhattan" is a homage to Voegele's talents, nailing the dismount with vocal gymnastics congruous to the music. Get "Manhattan From the Sky" from her 2009 album A Fine Mess.
