Nick Curran and the Lowlifes – “Kill My Baby”

Nick Curran and the Lowlifes – “Kill My Baby”

Seems This week’s MP3 Jackpot winner is the sound track to the latest Mel Gibson press drama. Nick Curran and the Lowlifes, “Kill My Baby” is just the perfect combo of 50s guitar and mentality. There’s something to be said about loving so much you feel murderous.  Did I mention Nick Curran can play and so can the Lowlifes. What a cool name!

Dios – “Stare At Wheel”

Using every cliche I’ve ever heard in rock doesn’t sound like a MP3 Jackpot winner, but Dios from L.A. does just that. Their song “Stare At Wheel” is tremendous. I recommend it to everyone.

The Black Angels – “Bloodhounds On My Trail”

Looks like another Austin, Texas band wins the MP3Jackpot. The Black Angels “Bloodhounds On My Trail” is an outstanding song. These guys have been “press darlings” for a while and this track from their “Passover” recording is a perfect example of why.
