I normally don’t review multiple bands from the same record label but when I stopped by the Small Stone Recordings website , I was side tracked for a few hours and ended up burning up about thirty bucks on downloads, so I figured why the hell not . Here’s a word or two about a label and a few of the bands that you should check out.

There is the potential for this to be absolutely cracking live… enough potential for me to rethink ...

« You Can Never Have Too Many Hangover Tips | Home | Get New Paul McCartney Album “Memory Almost Full” for Free » By Corey Koehler | July 12, 2007 I was immediately smitten with the smooth and throaty acoustic riff on the song “I Found Out.” You just can’t help but feel better while listening to this song and you’ll love the upbeat finish. As great as “I Found Out” is, it was only the beginning. Every song delivers. He makes a startling announcement in the next song song “Son of God” and we all can relate to the feelings expressed on “Breakdown.” ...
