new rock upload on Mp3Musicgrams.com

worth a listen - check out GATJA- and "Filthy "
very unique rock sound
from their band bio-
GATJA-Since their inception, the band has taken a radical departure from the West Coast's musical manifesto by creating songs that embrace harmony, guitar solos, and memorable hook-laden choruses. The band managed to obtain a sound of their own while melding aggressive guitar driven riffs with acoustically inspired melodies that are all tied together by poignant and emotion-filled lyrics.

Oswald's song "Speak out" could be an anthem for our generation

Oswald's song "Speak out" could be an anthem for this generation

talking about UK band - Oswald - we have showcased them a few times ...

"Speak out and shout you're not alone!"

sometimes a band comes along and writes a song that makes you want to stand up - and yell - thats ' what the lyrics of Oswalds songs "Speak out " tell us to do
- stand up and speak out- about whatever injustice you see - you're not alone
search artist - Oswald and song "Speak out "
http://www.mp3musicgrams.com/createGram.aspx
it makes you want to do something about your life or the world - isn't that the power of great music ?

a new sound in rock Christopher B McCarty- "glimpse of God" - new upload on MP3Musicgrams.com

when browsing through the new uploads on MP3Musicgrams.com I clicked on -Christopher B McCarty- "glimpse of God" out of curiosity with the name of the song. At first glance I thought it was one of several new gospel songs uploaded on the site. But it was definitely under the rock category.
Opening it and hearing it – it has tones of vocals and musically of the new Bob Dylan CD . Now , I am not saying this song is really directly comparable to the legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan- but it had a familiar tone to it.
It’s worth a listen- and some interesting lyrics to ponder

calling all "trance" music addicts

new upload to MP3musicgrams.com

Dusted King by Nozerhole


For those of you hard core rockers not familiar with this genre-
here is a "definition" I found ...
Trance is a style of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 160 bpm, featuring repeating melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track, often crescendoing or featuring a breakdown. Sometimes vocals are also utilised. The style is arguably derived from a combination of largely techno and house. 'Trance' got iits name from the repetitious morphing beats, and the throbbing melodies which would presumably put the listener into a trance-like state.

And all that Jazz...Nyasha Munangwa new Jazz artist on MP3Musicgrams.com

Nyasha Munangwa, jazz artist has uploaded several songs for jazz fans at MP3musicgrams.com
search by genre - jazz or artist - Nyasha Munangwa
