Drew Danburry - "Religion of Me" [soft, indie acoustic rock]
From his site: "Drew Danburry is a singer-songwriter who has toured and released records independently for approximately eight years now. It is debated whether this itinerantly musical lifestyle began in high school under the small but groundbreaking rap career he supposedly chartered or if it really started when a band was formed in college with some friends in the summer of 2002."

Swedish indie pop group SAMBASSADEUR to release new album
Sambassadeur is a Swedish quartet that just released their third album European (Due out Feb 23rd on Labrador Records). I've been listening to their songs on MySpace, and they've got a lot of potential! Check out the description from their press release and their MySpace and see if you are enjoying it as much as I am.
“Sambassadeur's Anna Persson sings softly and fluidly, favoring held notes that sound like they might dissipate into the music around her. Her voice often seems more typical of shoegaze or introverted folk than 1980s-cribbing pop, but she strikes the right note of dreaminess and cool drama in Sambassadeur's songs.”
-Pictchfork
“The Swedes have birthed yet another unique and lovely pop music child."
-Pop Matters
"Sambassadeur’s sound has evolved with each release, while their older recordings had a more aggressive sound, reminiscent of Jesus and Mary Chain, their music now conjures reminders of bands like Camera Obscura and Belle & Sebastian. European is the album that demonstrates the true talent of Sambassadeur. The foursome, along with the addition of a string quartet, three drummers, a saxophone player, clarinetist, and more, has created a unique style that will be sure to gain fans of all music tastes across the world."

The Spill Canvas's new EP "Abnormalities" - released today 01/12/10
The Spill Canvas just released a new 3 song EP today, the newest music from the band since 2008. I've been a fan of the band since their single "All Over You" came out on their last cd "No Really, I'm Fine."
After listening to the EP, I definitely like the track "Don't Let Your Enemies Become Friends" the best. It's got the right hooks and clever lyrics to blow up on the radio, and I hope it does!
The other two tracks "Gateway Drug" and "Good Graces, Bad Influence" are both just as polished as the other track, and the EP definitely is a great release from the band. Check out the streams on Purevolume (link below) and see for yourself how the band has matured.
Stream the EP: http://www.purevolume.com/thespillcanvas
Buy the EP: http://www.thespillcanvas.com/
The EP is only $3.96 at most digital music stores, and there's a special $10 t-shirt/cd bundle on the band's homepage.
