Ryan McAllister: Bell Tower

Honestly, I usually hate country.  It's too emotional, and many times sounds all too similar to me.  But in this song, even though it has a hint of country, there's something about it that I like.
Ryan McAllister works out of a barn that he uses for his studio.  Maybe sometimes you can work in a pigsty and end with something actually decent.

The Fratellis: Chelsea Dagger

The Fratellis are a Scottish band who debuted in 2006, hitting #2 on the UK Album Charts.  They have a sort of Indie-Rock/Rock feel, and each song has a different unique flow.  This song in particular is just very groovy, and fun to listen to as well.
