We’ve been familiar with Bear’s Den for a while now, thanks to their stellar Agape EP. With the release of Islands, their debut full length album, we finally get to hear the guys in all their glory and it’s about time. These Brits have …

Murrieta–lively, beautiful desert folk music for everyone.
If I listened to music when I am backpacking, this would be it. This album has a nice, natural sound and beautiful, thought provoking lyrics. Murrieta (named for a Chilean outlaw) is a collection of six gifted gentlemen based in Arizona. Each one …
The Stillwater Hobos – My Love, She’s in America
Every once and a while, we get a band that’s making music they have no business making and just absolutely killing it. Think Mumford and Sons. Marcus and the boys have no business being as good at traditional American folk music as they …
Pandas & People – Pandas & People EP
As a rule of thumb, I try to avoid EPs. I’m not sure why, because we’ve had some really good ones recently, but something about the brevity of the music makes me wary. It takes a lot for an EP to stand out …

Casey’s Top 10 Albums of 2012
After our first full year here at EarToTheGround Music, I’m really excited to bring you a full year’s worth of albums. This year was a really interesting year and one that was really different from last year. Last year, we saw the release …
Best of 2012: Greg’s Top Songs 11-20
This is an impossible task we’ve set before ourselves. Choosing songs that are “better” than others is futile. As I look at my already-limited list and try to make it smaller for this published list, I’m moved to emotion. Some songs make me …
Casey’s Top Songs of 2012: #10-#1
#10 – “Not With Haste” – Mumford and Sons I’m usually a fan of the popular songs from albums and I certainly understand why those songs are chosen as singles, but I love the lesser known tracks so much more. Mumford and Sons …
