By Swapmeet Louie ⋅ April 27, 2009 ⋅ Comments

If you recall a couple weeks ago, I couldn’t stop listening to or talking about the song “Earth Gently Rolls” from Abbott Hayes’ Giving Myself Away album. From the minute I heard the very first notes of the song I was hooked and had it on repeat… for days – I [...]

Featured Artist: Gladshot

By Swapmeet Louie ⋅ April 13, 2009 ⋅ Comments

Back in December I told you about the group Gladshot when one of their songs, “Early Light” from their Burn Up & Shine album made it onto my Top 5 Most Played Songs list. I’ve spun their album quite a bit since getting my hands on it and have been planning to [...]

For any musician, your attitude defines you. You either believe in your craft or you don’t… sometimes it’s that simple.

Featured Artist: Fredrik

By Swapmeet Louie ⋅ March 9, 2009 ⋅ Comments

I have been looking forward to writing about Fredrik for the past few weeks. They are a group out of Sweden with a sound that their label, The Kora Records, describes as “experimental pop” that works on “casually capturing the spirit of classic storybook drama.” Even though that’s a pretty cryptic [...]

The Northstar Session

One of the best aspects of being a musician is meeting other musicians. You immediately have a connection of some sort, and quite often you keep bumping into each other at various venues because A) you’re both playing that venue, B) you’re there to support an artist that you both enjoy, or [...]

PT Walkley has been one of the more interesting listens for me here at TheFrontloader.com. Mr. Walkley and I connected through TheFrontloader.com’s MySpace site (go request us as a friend if you haven’t already), and after taking one listen to his music, I knew that I wanted to write about him [...]

Featured Artist: Kevin So

By Swapmeet Louie ⋅ December 8, 2008 ⋅ Comments

Through the magic of CDBaby, I came across Kevin So’s album Leaving the Lights On. Being Chinese myself, I was looking for other Asian-American artists to check out… I was interested in hearing what other Asians were writing and singing about… I ended up finding a wealth of them out there, which [...]
