Sounds From The Superhighway 2

Volume 2

Audra Kubat - This Detroit native has earned tremendous accolades from her hometown. Her most recent release, "Million Year Old Sand," has garnered comparison to Joni Mitchell. The two singles, "Tomorrow Never Comes" and "Georgia," available for downloading through Times Beach Records, gave this writer a chill up and down my spine. "Tomorrow Never Comes" is a hauntingly masterful song with well-crafted guitar sounds. "Georgia" is more of a toe-tapper that also evokes images of Suzanne Vega. Check out the singles.


Throttelrod - This South Carolina three-piece have recently released "Starve The Dead," a five-song, mini-LP that highlights the bands' intense and thick chops. You can download "Borrowed Chair" from the release. This song showcases good writing skills and decent vocals. They definitely have a harder edge, heavy metal type of sound, although nowhere in their bio do they refer to themselves a metal. I enjoyed it and recommend it.


The Comas - First, if you do a Google search on The Comas, you may come across a traditional Irish music band. While the Irish version of The Comas was intreguing, make no mistake that this band kicks ass. The Comas have garnered some fantastic press for their most recent release, Conductor. It is all well worth it. "Science of Yer Mind" and "The Last Transmission" are two shoacase cuts that are well worth checking online. Crisp, post alt-country sounds with just the right amount of hard edge is the best way to describe these two photos. highly, very highly recommended.
