383 Stroker - Sometimes I see bands/singer-songwriters I have interviewed for a zine on television, I point and shout 'Woo! I interviewed them!', and that will no doubt happen with 383 Stroker.

Hope for August - This four piece from Michigan are anything but a typical flash in the pan 'indie' band. Hope for August are three talented guys (Andrew Volk, Shane Pitmon and Andrew Carpenter), fronted by one very talented chica, Kristina Rubritius, with a voice so inspiring you'll be eager to hear all that you can.
