Jake Tittle

This guy is a pretty talented songwriter, with a folky sound and a nice, straightforward sounding voice.  His voice, which is pretty deep, actually reminds me of the guy from Army of One.  His songs range from sappy to satirical, but they are a pleasure to listen to.  So far I have only listen to "Casual Lies", an album downloadable for free from noisetrade, but it's quite good.  If you know and like Army of One, I recommend listening to his stuff.

This is another great noisetrade discovery that I made recently; the style of their music is really poppy alt-rock.  I'm kind of a sucker for that particular sub-genre.  Think 2000s Mae.  The band is apparently from Nashville (who isn't these days), and has released this EP as a significant shift from their previous style.  I haven't actually listened to any of their earlier stuff.  But on this EP, the melodies are super catchy and they have really good voices.  Definitely check them out, if you aren't sickened by the thought of the musical style.
