What I'm loving right now is...
I picked this little gem up a while ago when The Kollection released their St. Patrick's Day party playlist. I love this song, maybe because of the accent or maybe because Ellie Goulding is sampled or maybe just because it's a great upbeat song for any party or just cruising to. From the unique intro to the great samples of Ellie, this is a great track be sure to grab it for your playlist.

Relo - Sunsplosion EP
What I'm loving right now is...
These guys are a small local band from the Ft. Worth/Dallas area doing big things. They just put out this EP and I've heard talk of a full length in the near future. I'll be going to see them on the 30th at The Prophet Bar in Dallas, so I'm looking forward to that and be looking for more information from that concert to be posted shortly after. But for now, sink your teeth into this solid EP. I have yet to pick a single song as my favorite, so be sure to check them all out below! Here is the link to their bandcamp page if you wanna check that out, and like I said be sure to check back after the 30th for more on these guys.

Top 10 Countdown - #1
What I'm loving right now is....
The Republic Tigers - "Made Concrete"
Most everyone I have talked to has never heard of this band. In fact, I bet none of you could guess where I first heard this band. I wasn't browsing the web, it wasn't on the radio; it was in McDonald's. Yes, that's right. I said McDonald's. Not that McDo is a bad place, but it is not the usual place to expect to hear new music. None the less, this song is light and I love the acoustic guitar used in it. Vocals are my kinda taste and it is just a pretty catchy song all together. Check it out:

Top 10 Countdown - #2
What I'm loving right now is...
Kid Cudi - "Up, Up and Away"
Kid Cudi is another one of my favorite rappers out there which is why he shows up at number two. I've always been a fan of his chilled out, layed back flow. However, in this song he picks up the pace a bit and does it big with what I think is one of his biggest hits. Very well done track with a catchy chorus and infecting melody that I can never seem to get out of my head. Great song, here it is:

Top 10 Countdown - #3
What I'm loving right now is...
Macklemore - "My Oh My"
Well I've already done a feature on Macklemore, but it's no surprise that he is up here again on my top ten. This guy knows what it means to put real life experiences into his tracks. It is not often that a song gives me goose bumps, but three of his songs give me goose bumps every time I listen to them simply because you can feel and hear the passion and heart he puts into his music. I love this artist and this song is incredible. Listen and understand:

Manchester Orchestra - "Simple Math"
What I'm loving right now is...
Manchester's new album "Simple Math" is nothing short of incredible. This band does not get near enough the credit that it deserves. This song is one of my favorites off of this new album, and the title is perfect for the song. "Simple" is one word that describes this track so well. Most would expect simplicity to limit a song's potential, but with this track it is quite the opposite. No overpowering beat, no overwhelming over-effect'ed screaming guitars, simple. Everything in this song seems to blend together into a fantastic song, but at the same time you can hear each individual instrument. Enough talking, listen below and you will understand what I'm trying to say:
If you like this song I encourage you to check out their other songs "April Fool" and "Leave It Alone"
