Do you have a band/artist that's a personal favorite that you try to get people into whenever you can? I know I do...here's 3 off the top of my head.

1. THE WILDHEARTS. This band had a good amount of success in the UK over the last 20 years or so. A few legit hit tunes, & a fan base that still goes pretty strong today. Their main singer/songwriter ( Ginger ) is one of the most talented people out there, IMO. I've always described them as an unholy alliance of Metallica & The Bay City Rollers. Here's a taste :

2. TSAR. Power pop band out of LA. First starting putting out albums 13 years ago, took some time off, & came back a couple years ago. Their self-titled debut album is one of, if not THE, #1 album in my all-time Top 10. Such a perfect record that I'm just gonna post the whole friggin' thing below. And I'll add the single/video from their comeback EP.

3. DAMONE. Sadly defunct hard pop band from of Boston. Released the brilliant "From The Attic" in the early 2000's. Then the guy that wrote all the songs on that album bailed, & they picked up the pieces with a new main songwriter. AND SOMEHOW GOT EVEN BETTER. They returned in 2006 with the damn-near-perfect "Out Here All Night". This album should have been so got-dang massive. You can probably buy it for a penny online...just fuggin' do it. Here's a couple tracks from it.
