IndianGiver — Plafond EP

If you were to peruse the “About” section of IndianGiver’s Facebook page, you’ll notice how the instruments attributed to each of the Oklahoma City band’s five members are described with downright flippancy: Dylan Jordan plays “sticks & animal skins,” while Jazzton Rodriguez earns his keep with “shanties & loud noises,” and so on.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Based in Austin, Texas, singer-songwriter Patrice Pike is proud for being known as an "eclectic" artist, mixing guitar-oriented rock with soulful singing.
 
It must be working because Pike landed a spot on the CBS reality show "Rock Star: Supernova" last year, where she competed for a chance to be lead singer in a band featuring former Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.

AWARDS WINNER
While Pike didn't win on the show, she was this year's big winner at the Austin Music Awards, where she won Musician of the Year and three other awards, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
 
"In Austin, you don't win awards for being on TV. It can actually wreck your credibility. So, it was really validating for me," she said. "I'm a musician. I'm also a writer. I love the art of writing and communication through words." "Tracy M. Rogers
