Sounds like a good idea. Here's something I wrote about a band called South Jordan.



Indiana can get rather cold at this time of the year, but one band is trudging through the snow to make it to gigs on time. South Jordan, one of my favorite upcoming bands so far, has both the drive and the potential to make it big. Citing influences such as U2 and Coldplay, South Jordan has excellent musicianship and songwriting abilities. The irresistible qualities that make U2 and Coldplay so popular appear throughout South Jordan’s music. Ethereal timbres are reminiscent of Chris Martin’s style, while the faster tracks showcase distorted guitar, similar to Bono’s band. Despite the allusions to the two previously mentioned bands, South Jordan also seems to share some characteristics of The Fray.

The distinct moods give South Jordan variation among their songs. Each track contains different elements. Take “LayDown” for example. The majority of the song screams Coldplay influences, but “Not the One” sounds more like U2 than Coldplay. One track you can’t pass up is “Fatal Flaw”. It has a catchy melody and pleasing vocals. A full band version of the song is available on their website, and an acoustic version can be found on YouTube.

South Jordan recently signed with Union Entertainment Group, the artist management group responsible for representing Nickleback. Their new single “Firefly” is available on their MySpace page.
