Key Track: Blood Sweats

I’m really liking Dirty Mags. This Toronto act who is touring the west coast offers a dose of distorted guitars, pounding drums, rumbling bass, and wailing vocals. This alternative 5 piece should have dubbed the tour Get Behind Me Jack White.

Key Track: The Last Song

If you haven’t heard of sing-songwriter Tim Halperin, he has the #1 album on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts. Halperin also landed in the top 24 in last years American Idol and has shared the stage with Hot Chelle Ray, Cody Simpson, etc. The track The Last Song is a Kings favorite and it reminds us of The Fray.
