City Arts Magazine is on point this month with the ten bands they have selected to highlight in their issue! On the cover is the energetic trio, Don’t Talk to the Cops, who I just saw last month at the SXSW Send Off show at the Tractor Tavern. I’m not sure how long these guys have been on the scene, but I am crossing my fingers for great things from them in their future. Other acts featured include:

• Fly Moon Royalty
• Gold Leaves
• Sandrider
• Motopony
• Shelby Earl
• OC Notes
• Bryan John Appleby
• Allen Stone
• Pickwick

Fly Moon Royalty is sensational and a group I just started listening to. Allen Stone is kind of like the John Mayer to our Seattle. Pickwick is a dream and I have heard nothing, but good things about Motopony and Bryan John Appleby.

Seattle music, keep slayin’!
