The music industry, as we've always known it, is dead and buried. Bands will continue to form, record and tour but fans are being forced to find new outlets to find out about new music. A band that I found out about in such a fashion is Blowing Trees from San Antonio/Austin, TX. 4 guys who just love to play music. To me their songs are both beautiful and inspirational. Inspirational in the fact that you don't need to make music the way labels want you to anymore in order to get heard. You're actually allowed to make great music because you love to play. This is the real deal.

today's band:

Blowing Trees

song title:

Goodnight Lungs (all of their myspace songs are excellent but I have a personal affinity for this one)
