About the music/why it rocks/ why you should check it out- You know how when you're feeling depressed, sometimes all you need is a song that sorta describes your situation, and it makes you feel so much better? Rutherferd is like that. It's the music you want to listen to when you're feeling down and like crying... the music that makes you realize you're not alone, and makes you feel so, so much better- "When the rain washes away the tears, I'll be here." Rutherferd doesn't list Dashboard Confessional as an influence, but some of their lyrics do recall DC. You can definitely hear the instrumental and lyrical influences of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and perhaps a hint of a somewhat more emotional Green Day. They don't have a lot of friends on Myspace yet, so you should probably add them, since they're totally awesome. Rutherferd is also from Canada, which is pretty cool (anyone sensing a theme for today? hm...).

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, the band MUST currently be active (no broken-up/on hiatus/inactive bands, please), and all band members MUST be extremely good-looking. Just kidding about the last one, although it's a plus. ;)
