What's Good - May '07: Spring in NYC Edition (w/ Videos!)

Post a Comment

This month for my favorite FWYB post - "What's Good", I'm focusing on bands in & around my home town New York, NY.

Here's the deal - at the beginning of each month I sort through all the CDs & emails that get sent to FiddleWhileYouBurn (and yes, I listen to everything) and put together this list of new sounds from artists all over that we haven't featured yet on the site but we think are worth checking out. Of course I can't post everything at once, but here's a bunch I though you might enjoy (below in no particular order).

Post a note in the comments section or send an email if you have any recommendations for next month.
