Drunk Souls is a totally independent fresh Reggae/Rock/Funk band from France. Most of their songs sound chill & fun, but there are definitely some dark compositions. The lyrics are always very insightful, meaningful and strong, oftentimes talking about tolerance and peace. I find the ever-present bass and the clean vocals to intensify the experience even more, but check them out for yourself.

Andy Wagner's third album, “Those Who Forgive”, is a melodic rock six-song EP from Rock Proper, a net label devoted to distributing quality rock albums covered under the Creative Commons license. "Those Who Forgive" is indeed a "quality rock album" - it's a bit on the slower, more melodic side with a touch of blues and maybe even country here and there. Andy's deep melancholic voice and his down to earth lyrics will make you stop, relax and contemplate their meaning.
