Polish singer/songwriter Agnes Milewski has been performing her songs to enraptured audiences in Austria for quite a while now, so it was to an already enthusiastic and supportive fan base that she released Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls last year. On this wonderful debut album, her voice and soft instrumentation leave nothing to be desired.

Just beneath the surface of Zero Hour's Grasshopper, beneath the up-beat, high-energy riffs and jangling melodies, there is an undercurrent of darkness that supplies a delicious dichotomy between the music played and the music sung. We caught up with John Wall recently to talk about the band, the album, and the story behind the music.

Nestled between cornfields near the center of Nebraska, Leesha Harvey finds inspiration for her music in all things. Using her unique perspective, this young singer-songwriter paints musical pictures in broad strokes and perfect detail that tug at the heartstrings, while keeping you totally immersed in the music.

Take all of the music you've ever heard and throw it in a blender. Filter it with careful attention to detail, add a dash of cautious optimism and sprinkle with some of life's most depressing moments, and you'll get a feel for the sound you hear when listening to Illustrated Man's Amie Street offering, Music for Your Own Personal Drama.
