Kip Moore - "I'm To Blame"
Maybe it's time to break a rule or two.
Hailing from small town Georgia, Kip Moore has made good on his Nashville Dreams.With the release of his debut album Up All Night in 2012, Moore has continued to grow audiences with extensive touring and the release of additional singles on the MCA Nashville label.
This summer he's got his hands full on the festival circuit, but maybe there will be time enough to record a little bit more music.

Cure for the Mondays: Mike Elrington - Build You Up (To Cut You Down)
Mike Elrington - "Build You Up (To Cut You Down)"
Nothing says Monday like a angry half naked man singing the blues.
The primal grittiness of Mike Elrington's bluesy rock 'n' roll is raw with emotions. Quickly gaining recognition as one of Australia's most thrilling young artists Elrington sets himself apart with is dynamic guitar playing and boldly human songwriting. Released yesterday "Build You Up (To Cut You Down)" is the first single from his forthcoming album Two Lucky Stars set for release later this year. In it, Mike sings of the hard road of the struggling musician filled with it's endless potholes and frustrating detours. A reality much too familiar for too many young musicians.
February kept Eleington's busy with his first ever UK Tour, and with any luck we might get to see him in the states sometime soon.

Cure for the Mondays: Royal Blood - "Out of the Black"
Royal Blood - "Out of the Black"
No matter your Monday, remember it could always be worst.
Bringing back the powerful joy of real rock 'n' roll the UK Duo Royal Blood plays the kind of music that will keep the neighbors up and makes you feel alive. Screw all you that say Rock'n'roll is dead. The Truth is that it just got tired of you hipster assholes and went to start its own party somewhere else.
Having released their self-titled debut album late last year on the Warner Bro. Label the band has been gaining recognition and accolades ever since. Now for those of you that don't think this band is the real thing, I'd like you to tell Dave Grohl that. With upcoming support shows with the Foo Fighters and an extended North American tour this band is doing it right. We'll be lucky enough to have them playing May 25th at the Wonder Ballroom. So clear your schedules and line up the babysitters cause you won't want to miss it.

Cure for the Mondays: Sheppard - "Geronimo"
Sheppard - "Geronimo"
Some of us never get tired of playing in cardboard boxes.
Pairing boldly atmospheric instrumentation with dynamic vocals, the music of the Australian band Sheppard lends itself to fond comparisons to Canada's Walk Off the Earth. Their debut album Bombs Away, released this last summer, saw quick advancement in the Australian music charts. While their latest single Geronimo has gained international attention through network television spots.
Currently finishing off a European tour, the band will be taking a short break only to start 2015 with a run of US dates in support of Meghan Trainor who's All About That Bass has surly drilled its way deep into your Psyche.

We all need a poppy theme song to dispose of the bodies to.

Cure for the Mondays: Wrongchilde - "Gold Blooded"
Wrongchilde - "Gold Blooded"
For us in the older crowd it's like a journey through our childhood.

The solo project of Kill Hannah's Mat Devine, Wrongechilde has launched a PledgeMusic Campaign in order to self-finance the independent release of his albume Gold Blooded due for release on August 19.
Through the PledgeMusic Campaign fans can pre-order a signed copy of the album, nab an exclusive limited edition Gold Blooded ring, or if they're feeling more generous, they can pledge for the more exclusive Burn Notice or Procreation Packages. Check it out, because the only way good independent music can continue to be created is through the support of the people that love it.

"Seven Day Forcast" with Blue Skies for Black Hearts: Cure for the Mondays:Tom Petty - "I'm Stupid"
Tom Petty - "I'm Stupid"
Picked by Blue Skies for Black Hearts' Pat Kearns.
I watch this and think, "There's no way these guys have been to bed yet." I love Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. And this is the loosest and most off the cuff you'll ever see them. Even when he isn't trying, he can write a great song. This one makes me laugh every time. - Pat Kearns

It's Monday, I know we're all thinking it.
LA soulstress Jessica Childress has a voice like the soul queens of old.

"Finals Week with The Hard Lessons": Cure for the Mondays: The Hard Lessons - "Sound The Silent Alarm"
The Hard Lessons - "Sound The Silent Alarm"
An oldie but a goodie.
An odd little video that The Hard Lessons recorded in the midst of their tour for the Arms Forest album back in 2009. Perfectly catching their playfulness this is just what the doctor ordered to help you with a bad case of the Mondays.

Cure for the Mondays: American Authors - "Best Day of My Life"
American Authors - "Best Day of My Life"
When was the last time you played with your monsters.
It might not be too long before Brooklyn based American Authors could be a house hold name. Having been chosen as VH1's official "You Oughta Know" selection for February the band will have their music on TV, the web and incorporated into mobile and social platforms.If that wasn't enough, March should continue their momentum with the release of their debut album Oh, What A Life set for release on the 4th as well as appearances on some A-list talk shows. Not bad for a group of Music College dropouts.

"Cannibals Week" Cure for the Mondays: Sun Angle - "Raspberry"
Sun Angle - "Raspberry"
How many Sci-fi references can you identify?
Marius Libman is a genius! -Marc Swart of the Summer Cannibals
The kaleidoscope sound of Portland Oregon band the Sun Angle's music is filled with erratically lovely energy that morphs through a sonically psychedelic tapestry. Wildly rich and joyfully fanciful it's no wonder someone started a record label just to put their music out into the the world. This video was created by Sun Angle's Marius Libman.
In addition to their work with the Summer Cannibals Marc Swart and Jessica Boudreaux run the Portland records label New Moss Records. Started in 2013 to release the Sun Angle's debut LP Diamond Junk. It has now become the home label of the Cannibals as well.
