Album Title : The Good Life EP
        1. Can't Go On Living Without You
        2. A Beautiful World*

Comments are always welcome. Thanks in advance.

p/s: I supposed you girls are already drooling over that picture up above? Hah! Well, trust me, his music are equally hot and to die for! Tim Myers is the perfect example I could think of with respect of the term I often use "the unsung heroes". Tim Myers’ January 08’ released sophomore EP ‘THE GOOD LIFE’ is already making a huge impact in the Film and Television universe with his song, “A Beautiful World” running in the current TARGET Ad Campaign as well as the Canadian Campaign for CANON and in Good Morning America’s new series "Your Three Words". Other Myers’ songs have been featured in Sony released Motion Picture "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep", one of television’s greatest ABC’s "Grey’s Anatomy" and Lifetime’s top rated show, "Army Wives". Music has been a presence in Tim Myers’ life since an early age. Being compelled by piano at five, guitar and bass were introduced to him shortly after. At age eighteen Myers then joined the band OneRepublic. Myers entered the studio with the group, writing and performing on their debut record, ‘DREAMING OUT LOUD’, prior to leaving the band a few years later to embark on his solo career. Myers’ writing credits for the OneRepublic record include the Billboard hit single “Stop and Stare” as well as “All We Are", “Someone To Save You” and “Prodigal”. I'm pretty sure the credits above are enough to boost one's self image. And what did I say about his songs being hot as well as his image?

#7 - NEW ARTIST : THE TING TINGS


Singer : The Ting Tings
Genre : Pop/Alternative/Melodramatic Pop
Location : Salford, Northwest United Kingdom
Album Title : We Started Nothing(2008)
        1. Great DJ
        2. That's Not My Name*
        3. We Walk
        4. Shut Up And Let Me Go
Comments are always welcome. Thanks in advance.

p/s: Not many have heard of such unusual band name - The Ting Tings, but the unique stand out name sure has its own particular reason. Believe it or not, "That's Not My Name" was charted straight at the #1 spot on the UK countdown on May 18th. Their album - We Started Nothing, too, debut at #1 spot in the UK. Unfortunately, not much hype had come from that side of the world ever since that break. The Ting Tings consist of two member. Jules De Martino (drums, guitar, vocals) and Katie White (vocals, guitar, bass drum). Their music resembles the likes of the legendary The Beatles & British breakout rock band - Muse. It's not recommended for everyone as some might find it irritating, but definitely check those awesome tracks out! Their recent world tour - which covers country such as Japan, US, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Scotland - had wooed in millions of followers with their music! That's quite a feet, really. The Ting Tings' soulofindie first artist introduction from the British market. Also, the first indie band and there's definitely a reason why we picked them out of the many!

#6 - NEW ARTIST : TRENT DABBS


Singer : Trent Dabbs
Genre : Folk Rock/Acoustic/Pop
Location : Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Album Title : Decade Fades (2008)
        1. Helpless State
        2. Harlem Rosewood
        3. The Water*
        4. Shine
        5. Stare At A Stranger
        6. Riverbell Garden
Comments are always welcome. Thanks in advance.

p/s: Trent Dabbs' unique vocal place him well above the norms. His unusual pitching (for a guy) could bring chills down the spine! It's really good depending on where you're coming from. "The Water" brings folk rock into a whole new dimension. The composition capped with a fine touch of piano makes it all the more appealing. Decade Fades' already on itune. However, I believe, a lack of advertisement and publicity had hindered the progress of this one amazing artist.

Comments are always welcome. Thanks in advance.

p/s: Amber Rubarth's musics are unique in its special way. Some might love it, others might hate it. Fortunately, much happen to fall on the former. Definitely check those tracks out. All in all, I should say her tracks are classified under "others" for a reason.
