<i>This is Somewhere</i></b>
2007, Hollywood Records
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Somewhere">country, rock</a>

On first listen, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals come off as yet another band in the wave of modern country bands that have a female lead vocalist and plenty of fake twang (as in, 'faker-sounding-than-most') and wannabe-tough attitude.

		<description><![CDATA[Years of Rice and Salt Service Bell EP 2008, independent post-rock, folk Okay, so I won&#8217;t deny that I&#8217;ve been on a &#8216;post-rock&#8217; craze recently. After hearing about five different bands/artists, I have to say that if you&#8217;re heard one you&#8217;ve pretty much heard them all.

Rating: 5 stars
Check Out: “Let’s Start A Band,” “L.A.,” “Footballer’s Wife,” and “Run.”
