Amongst Thieves - Love Yourself

Amongst Thieves is a post hardcore five piece band from York, England. Amongst Thieves latest song release is a cover of Justin Bieber song " Love Your Self." Amongst Thieves does a better job performing the song " Love Your Self" than Justin Bieber. I've took the opportunity to listen to other musical works by Amongst Thieves and believe this band from York, England to be a contender to other major post-hardcore acts now touring.

The Strange Party from Sacramento, California is a Punk rock/Macabre rock band with some high intense tracks to nostalgia 1960's rock n roll sound for example the song 'Return of the Roaches' reminds of Tommy James And The Shondells song "Crimson and Glover."

Eureka California-Versus

Eureka California is rock n roll band hailing from Athens, Georgia. Their latest album title "Versus" is amazing and catchy, especially on the song "Cobwebs on the Wind". I really dig the opening lyrics of Cobwebs on the Wind, it goes like this:

"That was pretend
Oh it was only pretend
And now it looks like it’s really the end."

Nature Girl- Antecedent
