Tonight ,six (6) great songs from six (6) great artists! And the winners of The Transfer's 3 song EP. Howard Coates = Edward Coates - i goofed announcing the winners.

Clumsy - Fruitless Formed in 2001 with two E.P.s and countless shows all across the U.K., this Bristol, England group is not only amazing on the stage but off stage as well. During their spare time they teach, record, and mentor teenagers as part of the U.K.'s music scheme called REMIX. Their latest E.P. is called I Love My Pony.

bill - Watercolors Johnathan Coyle, Dave Marciano, andCurtis Hartling are long-time friends. One day in 2003 they decided to do something new in San Diego. Thats when they decided to form the group bill. With their straightforward approach to music, you get good, honest rock.

The Willis - They Have a Theory I believe these guys are the most played artist on De-Fi Radio. From their soon-to-be released CD "bathtub.lightbulb.heartattack" comes yet another gem. The rumor mill's buzz is the CD is due to hit October 15. Keep checking their website and their myspace.com site (www.myspace.com/thewillis for updates.

[August 22,2005]CORRECTION:

Brian, Steve from The Willis let me know you were playing a track from their forthcoming album "Bathtub, Lightbulb, Heartattack" on one of your podcasts recently. I was wondering if you could make a slight change to your posting. The album is not coming out until Jan ‘06.

Brother Love - Summertime Great up-beat rock and that wants one thing: Your butt to start moving! Brother Love has been all over the podosphere and here is yourchanceto catch him again! =) Playing Martha's Vineyard in August so try to catch a show if you're in the area. Buy his CD, "Album of the Year" over at CDBaby.com or in iTunes

Dylan in the Movies - Momentary Breakdown Dylan In The Movies is the musical vehicle for Boston-based singer/songwriter Brian Sullivan. Reminiscent of long satisfying drives, Dylan In The Movies blend beautiful melodies with orchestral arrangements with transcendent heights and gloaming dips that rival current day surrealist rockers. Give them a listen at www.myspace.com/dylaninthemovies

Halloween, Alaska - Call it Clear From their self-titled debut album that was first released in 2003 comes this hipnotizing song. Fans of Fox's The O.C. might recognize two tracks on that album, "Des Moines" and "All the Arms Around You." I felt that "Call it Clear" needed some attention as well. =) Plus you have a chance to win this CD! I have two copies to give away courtesy of (the record company) and ! Huge thanks to Michele Delfino, Halloween, Alaska, and the entire East Side Label Group! You can hear more at their Myspace site: www.myspace.com/halloweenalaska.
