Halloween, Alaska - Dance By Accident
This song by Halloween, Alaska is pretty mellow. Despite this the band has created a track that is still interesting and enjoyable to listen to. I have to say I really like the lead singer's voice. Also see 'In Order' at the bottom of the page, a track just as good if not better from one of their older albums.
Halloween, Alaska are a Minnesota based band. The Quartet have released a number of EPs and Albums. Dance By Accident is from their latest album, 'All Night the Calls Came In', released earlier this year.

Whitley - More Than Life
Every once in while I think it's important to post an old song that I never stop loving. This time I am showing Whitley's 'More Than Life'. This song is one of my favorite chillout songs and I would be surprised if it didn't become one of yours.
More Than Life
Take a read of the story below, it's an interesting story written by the band's founder.
"When I was five years old I watched two television documentaries that were instrumental in forming the way I think. One show was about Mammoths, and the other was about scientific experiments concerning the human mind. Both documentaries were interesting enough. In the Mammoth documentary there was a time lapse showing a dead Mammoth returning to dust. At the time it only bothered me slightly. Shortly after, the second documentary taught me how the human mind stores memory, language and personality.
A revelation occurred in my mind:
‘If the Mammoth’s brain became dust, and his life was stored in there…then what point is there to life? I won’t remember any of my friends or family when I die. I won’t remember anything that I have learned…I won’t remember anything at all. I may as well not have ever existed.’
I ran to my mother and cried uncontrollably, as if to mourn the death of myself. As a woman who cares for cancer patients and is surrounded by death for most of her life, I thought she could explain it to me. I was horrified to learn that she couldn’t explain what happened when you died. My opinion stayed much the same for 16 years or so, and for a kid, I suppose I devoted an unhealthy amount of time trying to figure out the purpose of my existence. All I could have been and all I would have been was lost in time…it’s not hard to read between the lines."
That's a lot of text, but what I found really interesting about that is, he watched a documentary on Mammoths. One of his albums was called, 'Go Forth, Find Mammoth'. He also mentions he was "lost in time" which is the name of one of his singles. It is a very interesting story that explores how the band met. To check out the rest go to Dew Process' Website (their record label). Some of their other songs are below.

The Grates - Sweet Dreams
The music video of The Grates' 'Sweet Dreams' was released just yesterday. It's a pretty sweet video with some crazy coloured blood effects. It's a cool song with a great chorus to match. This is definately The Grates' best song to date.
Recently The Grates have been living in New York while they worked on their third album, 'Secret Rituals'. This album was released earlier this year. The Grates are touring nationally in October and November this year.

New Navy - Zimbabwe
I found this song late last night. It is awesome! New Navy offer a pretty cool, trendy sound. It has a wicked and unique beat that sets the bench mark of the whole song. I can see New Navy going places in the future.
New Navy are a band of four from Sydney, Australia. Zimbabwe debuted at No. 3 on the Independent Music Charts.
