The Lumineers
Featured a few week ago (Click HERE to see that entry), The Lumineers have since released a brand new album! It's been on repeat nonstop for me! I recommend BUYING it to support artists, but you can also listen to it in entirety on Spotify. Click HERE to listen to it on Spotify! Enjoy!
Us
What do you get when you take two artists that have had successful careers as solo artists, then they get engaged, and start a duo. You get Us. YouTube sensations Michael Alvarado and Carissa Rae formed the group after dating, and eventually got engaged. While dating, they put out many quirky funny medleys that you can watch here and here. Finally, they acknowledged what a good duo they made and formed Us. They put out a cover of Rihanna's "We Found Love" that you can listen to below. Yesterday, they released their first original song "Never Gonna Leave You" in the form of a music video. Check that video out as we anxiously wait for more music to come from this funny loving duo.
Never Gonna Leave You - Us
We Found Love - Us
Of Monsters And Men
I was surprised to learn that many of my friends had never heard of this band, but I decided to feature them to make sure everyone was aware of their greatness. I don't know why, but lately I've been in to a lot of foreign bands. Of Monsters and Men come to us from Iceland. Pretty cool right? (get the joke!?) Still gaining popularity in the states, they were invited to perform at South By Southwest (SXSW). Their infectious folk rock sound will give your ears a much needed break on this Friday the 13th. Enjoy a sampling of their songs below. Check out more info on them at facebook.com/ofmonstersandmen.

Wintersleep
This band is Canadian eh? Bad joke. Coming from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Wintersleep formed in 2001. They didn't really gain notoriety till 2007 when they released the album, Welcome To The Night Sky. This album earned the band a Juno award for New Group of the year. This band is about to release a new album this coming in June, below listen to "In Came The Flood" from that upcoming album. As well, take a listen to their biggest song "Weighty Ghost". Get more info about the band at www.wintersleep.com

Nicole Atkins
Originally from Neptune, New Jersey, Nicole Atkins says the river in her town inspired a lot of her music. She started playing piano at an early age, and by high school was playing gigs in bands. Most of her older music has a very chill artsy rock vibe, but her most recent album I feel like she has really fell into her own. She has created an almost 60's rock sound with a modern vibe. Take a listen to my favorite from her most recent album Mondo Amore and a song from her previous album Neptune City. If you like what you hear, check her out at nicoleatkins.com
