We get a lot of music submitted to us at BowlingStone.com.  Sometimes it is quite good and sometimes it is not so good.  Every now and then however, we receive something that absolutely blows us away, and that’s what we love about running an indie music blog that makes no money.
I was hooked on today’s tune from the first line, [...]
