Shearwater - Mountain Laurel (Thieves [2005])
allmusic, band homepage, myspace
An Austin indie band these guys mix country, pop, and rock pretty well. This particular EP is quite slow and moody. This particular song is the most energetic on the EP and I would say the best.
The Lost Patrol - Alright (Songs About Running Away [2004])
allmusic
Not sure what came of this band. Can't seem to find anything about them. I'm realizing that way too many of the songs and the bands I pick per month sound alike and these guys are no different. They have a mixed sound that harps back to sounds from the 70's and 80's. This particular song is a upbeat pop tune that is very catchy, but could honestly have been a hit radio song in 1985.
