5 More Good Songs You Never Heard

This is the 2nd installment of my songs you haven't heard series. Below are 5 more songs I highly recommend from bands and artists that are not too well known.

The first one is a collaboration between Short Stories and Gregory and the Hawk.  You might have heard of GATH before.  She gained a lot of popularity on myspace a while back with the song Boats and Birds.  She is one of the best singers I have ever heard.  "Short Stories" is the artist name of the guy who produced the song and also provides vocals.  It's a beautiful song with electronic and organic sounds. 
Short Stories - Ask the Dust ft. Gregory and the Hawk

In a similar style to that of the previous song we have an artist that goes by the name "The Blow".  This band is a collaboration between a singer named Mikhaela and the guy behind YACHT.  The have a lot of catchy songs.  Again, you might have heard of these guys before if you follow internet music and blogs, but if not, you are in for a treat.
The Blow - True Affection

Changing up the genre, we have a rapper from Sweden named Promoe.  I'm not sure how I discovered him but he has an excellent song called Calm Down.  It has kind of a raw hip hop sound with some sampling.  Good story and lyrics on this one.
Promoe - Calm Down

Start Trouble is a band that has that punk pop style.  They released an album in 2004 with a bunch of catchy songs.  They had the sound to make it big but apparently they never caught on with the mainstream.  Here's a fun song called Non Stop
Start Trouble - Non Stop

Lastly is a punk song from a band called The Suicide Machines.  The name may be intimidating, but the songs are upbeat and full of life.  I was introduced to this band by a friend of mine back in the early 2000's.  They have a lot of good songs on this cd and here is one of my favorites.
The Suicide Machines - Vans Song

Talented Lesser Known Female Singers

With ladies like Gaga and Katy Perry getting so much attention these days, I thought I would share a few songs by women who are excellent singers, but not that famous. 

The first one is Meredith Godreau under her band name Gregory and the Hawk.  Meredith has one of the most beautiful voices in the world in my opinion.  She has a new album coming out soon called Leche, and this is one of the songs from it called For the Best:



Next up is Khaela Maricich who makes music under the name The Blow.  She has not released a new album recently, but I hear she has some new songs and plans to have a new release next year.  Here is one called True Affection:



The last recommendation is a girl that goes by the name Soko.  It is kind of hard to follow her progress online in terms of new music, but here is the one that put her on the map.  It is an emotional song called I'll Kill her:
