Jay Streetz




this doesn't interest me. it's not something i'd recommend. but.. it still gets a thumbs up.

Potie Sesh




this band definitely gets a thumbs up, but i don't know if i love them. they stand out in my mind above a lot of other artists, not exactly sure why. might be the name.
i like the singers style. i like memories and run child. the afterlife sounds a little more like those currently-trendy-rock-boy-bands which i don't like the sound of. so. i'll have to hear more to know what i really think.

the other thing. the name is a bit weird to me.
my sister has a habit of shortening every word in existence (ex. lotion, she says low-shh) and just generally throwing out strange funny phrases. anyway, i guess it's po-tee sesh. but in my mind i think of my sister saying she's leaving for a potty sesh, in which case she'd be heading to the bathroom for a bit of time :D

this is nice. "hands of time" is really cool. but. i don't see this as something i'd be listening to again, just because it's not really my style. thumbs up.

Antahlyzah




my first introduction was "forensic abolitionist - applaud the cause" and i knew pretty much instantly this one would be a thumbs up. i added that track to my favorites. nice vocals, lyrics, delivery, beats. i don't know about "puppet people", but i'll probably end up voting for this artist. thumbs up!

HEAT




thumbs up, but doesn't interest me.

PHARAOH




hard? dark? sounds like someone with lots of thoughts. i like his flow. this is something i might end up really liking. i'll have to listen again.

SP THE SPECIALIST




i like this guys voice and delivery (a bit serious, hard, harsh). don't know that the music in full really catches my attention though. would have to spend more than a few minutes checking it out to get more of an opinion. thumbs up.

PRESTO




this is one of those artists that makes me instantly think "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm going to love this artist!"
i've only heard like 10 seconds of 2 songs and i know i'm going to end up voting.
i get so excited when i come across artists like this!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, THUMBS UP!

Sully "SLY" Omar




nice voice. experienced sound (knows what he's doing, doesn't sound nervous). i dont know if this really stands out a lot to me, but it gets a thumbs up.

Mr. Peterson




eeew, R&B makes me vomit. sorry. but um... if you like R&B you'll probably love this artist. their bio boasts that they're UMA's (underground music award) best male R&B group and i'd assume it's true. thumbs up.

Masiah




nice accent ; )
quick listen, good all around. i think i'm gonna end up voting.
i've gotta listen closer to the lyrics when i've got more time.

G3'




only a tiny little clip of one track. but this gets a thumbs up.

Love Peace and Gun




i voted for this guy back in february. check him out. he's got a video up now, too.

Lone Wolf




only one track. not something i love, but it gets a thumbs up.

MIDIE




very nice voice, flow, etc.
not sure if the content grabs me personally, but thumbs up.

Lokal Boy




eminem is the first thing that comes to mind. nice voice. nice flow. nice lyrics. this is a BIG THUMBS UP. i'll have to listen more, but i'll probably end up giving this guy my VOTE.

Rehab Royale




i dont know if i really like this band, but i know someone out there will like them. i go for "pissed off" more than "having a good time" and this just isn't pissed off enough, lol. i dont know, i think they're growing on me. male vocals + male & female back-up. fast is always good. anyway, i'd say check 'em out. i'm pretty sure i'll be giving them my vote.

samhain




um. i absolutely hate the sound of a violin, but this gets a thumbs up because i can't be a good judge of it. does sound like there might be a few mistakes in some spots. i really don't know.

Rock Anonymus




most people might wonder why the hell this is in thumbs up. but. i do actually find this one to be a bit amusing. and. if they were serious, i bet they actually could have a decent band. so. thumbs up. but you might not like it.

Dirt Show



i recommend you check this band out, they sound really talented. not sure if they're for me though. i start thinking "cheezy" when i hear squealing guitars. i really love certain parts of it. i have to listen more to know what my personal opinion is, but yeah, they're good.

LUME Big Band




not something i'm into, but check them out if you are into jazzy-type ensembles. "free style boogie" is pretty cool.

"LUME (Lisbon Underground Music Ensemble) is a collective of 15 musicians with diverse backgrounds and experiences in the fields of jazz, pop, rock, classic, contemporary and improvised music...."

One Fine Day




i liked this when i first heard it quickly, but upon stopping back a few months later and listening more closely, i don't think it's something that stands out so much. still thumbs up though.
