Shwayze, Tickle Me Pink, Santogold

This first band is not one that you would think would be on this website at all. Shwayze is an alternative hip hop artist straight out of Malibu, California. Some of you might recognize him from his TV show on MTV called Buzzin', which debuted on July 23rd. Shwayze is an up and coming band with a lot of potential. With songs like this one, Buzzin, which features Cisco, I don't think he will have any problems gaining fans and recognition.

This next band is also a band that is up and coming. They call themselves Tickle Me Pink, which I find pretty odd. They formed up less than two years ago in Fort Collins. The same day the band released their debut album (July 1st), the bassist, Johnny Schou, was found dead by the frontman of the band, Sean Kennedy. You can find an interview about the band through their website. This is their first single, "Typical."



This last band is yet another up and coming one. It is also something that you would not expect from this site. I decided to get a little creative today. I first heard this song on my XM satellite radio, and it really caught my attention. After looking up more about her, I found out that she was the lead singer of a punk band in her earlier years. Now she is on her own, and is doing well with a new genre of music and being on her own. This is her newest single, "L.E.S. Artistes."
