About the music/why it rocks/ why you should check it out- "I never wanted to be the biggest, just the best at what I do," Aaron Pashka says in his blog. He may not be the biggest, most famous musician ever, but you can sure as hell bet that he's one of the best. Aaron's music is clearly influenced by some of the biggest musicians ever- the Beatles, Coldplay, U2, and Tom Petty. Some artists that are influenced by these musicians get a little cocky, but that's one thing that Aaron definitely isn't. There's none of that "oh look at me, I'm so awesome" here, and that's part of the appeal. His songs are as much for everyone as they are for himself. With standard electric guitars, a steady 4/4 beat, a touch of keyboards, and lyrics like "Oh don't you look so good, standing in the summer rain/ Oh don't you look so good, I just fell in love again/ Standing in the summer rain", this is music that will appeal to everyone. It's part classic rock, part modern rock, and part 100% Aaron. I predict that Aaron Pashka will be pretty big (prediction: girls will want to marry him, guys will want to be him). Also, he's from Canada, which totally qualifies him as awesome!

Are you in a band, or do you know any awesome bands that you'd like to "nominate" to be in the 100 Bands Project? Send me an email at mollylh@live.com, with the band name, myspace/website link, band location (city and state/country, or if you'd prefer, a region- "Southern California", "New England", etc.), genre(s), what bands you think you sound like, band photo and member names (L to R, and what instrument they play), and anything else you think I should know about the band (if these things aren't available on the myspace). I'm open to solo artists, too. If I like your band, and I think other people will too, I will include you in the 100 Bands Project. Note- to be included in the 100 Bands Project, the band MUST be unsigned, there MUST be at least 3 original songs available for listening on Myspace or the band website, and the band MUST currently be active (no broken-up/on hiatus/inactive bands, please).
