		<description><![CDATA[With music you know you’ve got something good within 20 seconds of hearing it. Todd Kessler’s song, “Golden Bird” has a Led Zepplin like melody at the beginning – really a classic rock sound with a simple arrangement: handclaps/piano/acoustic guitar and beautiful vocals. Honestly probably the best combination of voices I’ve heard in two months, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jptros.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1715737&amp;post=384&amp;subd=jptros&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This is Chester.  They play rock music, not screamo, not hardcore, just straight up, whiskey with ice and a splash of water, mid 90&#8242;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jptros.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1715737&amp;post=364&amp;subd=jptros&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

A constant, James Jamerson-ish walking bassline holds the song down until the chorus comes rolling in and receding out without screaming out &#8220;Hey! I&#8217;m the CHORUS! I&#8217;m CATCHY!&#8221; &#8211; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jptros.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1715737&amp;post=362&amp;subd=jptros&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
