awesome awesome awesome band from Orlando.
if you like Sister Hazel, R.E.M., etc. type music you will like this.
They are just now starting to get some recogntion - just signed w/a major label. They spent the last few years touring a lot and worked their way up the food chain - opening for the opening band for the opening band for Barenaked Ladies, opening for Third Eye Blind in local shows, opening for Creed nationwide, to finally headlining their own shows. They had a song on "Smallville" last season and two of the band members had a cameo! My brother and I are practically groupies - we've seen so many of their shows and the band recognizes us now. They just filmed their video at a concert we were at this summer - I might end up on MTV!

good hard rock band, also from Orlando. there's two mp3 songs you can download. both very very good.
Chuck Carrier - now in a band called "Marathon"
- used to play in Gainesville all the time, opened for Sister Hazel a lot. Now apparently in Atlanta? haven't heard from them in awhile. Released a solo cd when i was in undergrad called "Better Things Than I" which was fabulous - he could hold his own against John Mayer any day.
Chuck Nash Band Used to be called Kingpins. another good rock band. Used to play in Gainesville a lot, now mainly in Jacksonville/St. Augustine.
