SAY HELLO AGAIN TO THE BASEBALLS!

German trio THE BASEBALLS released a cover of the song 'HELLO', originally sang by Martin Solveig and Dragonette. This is the first single from their latest album STRINGS N' STRIPES.


The guys also performed live song covers of Rihanna's Umbrella and Lady Gaga's Born This Way.
As usual, they put their own Rock and Roll touch to the songs!


I love how they take what was a supremely annoying song and make it into something you can listen to. Brilliant!



Everything they touch is pure perfection! =O

MEET MELISSA POLINAR

She's MELISSA POLINAR, another youtube artist with Filipino descent. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, she started writing songs at an early age and worked as a professional singer/songwriter in Nashville for a number of years. Polinar's music is a mix of soul, jazz, blues and pop with a fresh perspective not shying away from the classic vibe.

AUGUSTANA: DREAMS


San Diego based rock band AUGUSTANA perform their cover of Fleetwood Mac's DREAMS during their session with Billboard Mag. “Fleetwood Mac is an easy band to gravitate towards, obviously,” says band frontman Dan Layus on why they chose to cover the vulnerable “Dreams”- which Fleetwood Mac took to No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 in 1977. “I think they’re all inclusive, for all types of music listeners.”



...Dan's vocals are always amazing..the more u listen to this the better it gets! =)
