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.

Dream-pop band Guster is currently on its Campus Consciousness Tour, playing its music and promoting environmental awareness at several universities.
 
"The Campus Consciousness Tour is more about informing people who come to the show on how they can emit less and help the environment," drummer Brian Rosenworcel said.

The eco-village set up at each stop on the tour includes:
" a tour of Guster's biodiesel tour bus,
" recycling stations,
" a global warming video contest,
" food drives, and
" a town hall meeting where students and faculty can speak with members of Guster about campus sustainability.
 
Ever the environmentalists, the band members even use rechargeable batteries to power their instruments.
 
"There's a lot of interest and it's a good time for us to reach people," Rosenworcel said. "There's a lot to learn and the students are eager to hear it." "Graham Lee Brewer
