This week I am definitely jammin’ to Jimbo and the Soupbones. Touchfaster has just announced they will be playing at Spring Equinox, which everyone should totally be stoked about. I first heard Jimbo at Court Four’s CD release party back in December. They are the type to get you in a dancing mood! If you haven’t heard them yet get on over to their Facebook page, you wont be disappointed.

Last night I rode into Pittsburgh for Touchfaster’s Open MicNight with Court Four guitarist and lead singer, Ryan Dupain. He and Touchfaster's Pierce Marratto discussed liking the new My Morning Jacket album which turned out to be surprisingly awesome. I instantly loved their song, Victory Dance and First Light. This song is off their new album, Circuital, they just released in 2011. I immediately checked their tour schedule, but sadly they are not coming anywhere close enough at this time.

Cloud Nothings just released their album, Attack on Memory, a few days back .  Dylan Baldi began Cloud Nothings in his hometown of Cleveland, OH. Their indie rock sound is very unique. I have a hard time comparing them to any other band which Is part of the reason they are so appealing. They’ve released three albums in the last three years. Their song Wasted Days on their newest album is definitely one you don’t want pass up! Their tour will bring them to Brillobox in Pittsburgh in early

April.

Griffin House may have entered the game late, but that didn’t delay his quick jump into the music industry. He didn’t even start learning the guitar until his college years. The only music background he had was singing in a high school play.

I first heard Griffin House when browsing one of my favorite bands, The Cranberries, tour schedule a few years back. I then stumbled upon him again recently while searching bands similar to Joe Purdy. His catchy guitar inspired songs quickly caught my attention. His folk/rock vibe tunes are a must listen.
