I guess I’ve been on a male music kick lately which is pretty unusual for me. One that I absolutely love is City and Colour. I found him last year and didn’t blog about him I guess because he’s not really that “new.” But he’s really too good not to mention. Dallas Green, a.k.a City of Colour, is the breakout solo artist from the popular Canadian band Alexisonfire. The thing I love about him most is his warm and honest sound. Everytime I listen to him I want to grab a cup of coffee and just sit and reflect.

Ok, male #2. Drum roll please…….Greg Laswell. This super awesome guy is much more mainstream sounding. He reminds me of Mat Kearney. He is a songwriter from L.A. and believe me, he is a great one. His songs are written very well and very “cinematic” if you will. You probably have heard his songs on tv dramas or movies. This guy knows what he’s doing and he sounds great doing it! I love his rendition of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”

And finally, males #3. I found The Perishers when their melodic music popped up on my Pandora list. Why should you love them?
1. Their music was played on Veronica Mars.
2. Their song Sway. It’s epic.
3. Their drummer Thomas Hedlund plays with Phoenix. Enough said.

I’m positive it’s not just the coffee this morning when I say I am soooo digging this band Phoenix. My brother Josh introduced me to them a couple months ago. I listened to them and for whatever reason didn’t like them. Perhaps because they’re a little hard to understand at times with the french accent. And their lyrics are a little random, but I am all ears today and loving their sound. I went to CWTV Music and low and behold it said to listen to them. I decided today is a good day for second chances and I’m glad I did. Plus, The CW never disappoints in the music department. They are fun and I love Mr. Mars with his sweet, soft voice. I also love that all their songs sound like anthems. They are big and bold. These guys aren’t messing around. Check em out!
