Fefe Dobson

Pop/Rock Singer-songwriter, Fefe Dobson, from Ontario, Canada, began writing when she was 14, and by 16 years old she was taking the music world by storm.


In 2003 her self-titled album went gold and earned her two Juno award nominations; gaining endorsements deals with “Got Milk” ads and “Tommy Hilfiger” campaigns.
Fefe’s songs have been placed in Drew Barrymore’s film “Whip It”, “The Perfect Score” and on TV promo’s for “Fringe” and “Lipstick Jungle”.
Fefe was also a co-writer on the track “Start All Over” which was recorded by Miley Cyrus for her 2007 album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus.
Now, she is releasing her sophomore album Joy in early July. With a British flair in the single “I Want You” and her newest release “Ghost,“ she not only showcases her versatility, but her creative musical style and wonderful pop/punk vocals. I recommend you also check out some of her older tracks like “Take Me Away” and “Kiss Me Fool”, but fair warning they will get stuck in your head!


For those of you in the Central Florida area Fefe will be performing for free at Red Hot and Boom this July, along with other talented artist such as Jessie James and The White Tie Affair.

If you enjoy Pink’s style, and Ke$ha’s daring melodies, you’ll love Fefe Dobson.

Friday Night Fever

Friday Night Fever is a Pop/Rock band blasting out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Formed from the remains of the two unsigned bands, Forever in a Day, and Saving Litchfield, they have a contagious sound and charismatic stage performances. It's really not hard to figure out why these guys are progressing so quickly in the music world.
Performing at various Bamboozle shows with PowerPunk Band Forever the Sickest Kids with current songs from the EP like "Glamour Kills", they offer something you really don't hear often in today's bands. Harmonizing, with melodies and utilizing lyrics that make you smile a little every time you hear a song and with such an infectious pop beat. A "Summer" song! as well as the popular "She felt like destroying something beautiful" are great examples. I could compare this to All Time Low, but it would not be accurate because on their tracks the vocals are much stronger. These alternative rock tunes catch you the moment the tracks start.

Friday Night Fever has been featured and praised by Alternative Press Magazine, Absolut Punk, The Daily Chorus, and PureVolume.com top new music chart. I had the opportunity to interview the guys, and besides being a blast to speak with they are filled with dedication and ambition. They also agreed to give us a signed band T-shirt to go with the article.
You can find FNF on YouTube, Facebook, Myspace.com/FNF and ITUNES. As FNF puts it; "This is one fever you can't sweat out" Remember to request Friday Night Fever on your local radio stations so the band can get greater circulation of their music!

I Am Vassal


1. As an acoustic artist is there one particular artist/band you look up to or find inspiration from?

"I really look up to Bright Eyes and Death Cab For Cutie. They both have such depth to they're lyrics and are so musically talented. I guess you could say they are my biggest inspiration."


2. You play guitar, are you self-taught?

"I am sort of self taught. My dad helped at first, but after awhile I just kinda took it and ran with it."


3. What is the meaning behind 'I am Vassal'?

"In the Medieval times when a peasant owed something to a noble they become a servant to their noble lord. They were then called a Vassal. I feel like I am a servant to my lord so I Am Vassal."


4. Do you play any other instruments?

"I can play piano or synth, bass, harmonica, drums, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele. I taught myself all of them, but I am best at guitar, bass, uke and piano."

5. What genre of music do you consider yourself?

"I don't really think genres are important. Music is a form of expression and you shouldn't classify that into different things. I wouldn't want to attract just a group that likes 'indie'' or 'acoustic' music. I want to attract people that like just music in general."

6. How would you describe your sound?

"The sound of my music is calm I guess. It is something you can listen to when you are just relaxing. I try to not make it boring, but not like full of energy, so I guess it is just relaxing."


7. What is one artist/band you would love to see in concert this year?

"I would love to see Death Cab if they do a tour."

8. What is your hope to accomplish in music?

"I just hope I can reach people with my lyrics. I want people to be able to relate to the words I sing. I would love to go as far as I can with it and if it happens then awesome, but if not then I will always use it for a way to get my emotions out."
9. What is your “Theme'' song right now?

"hmm... I honestly have no idea."
10. Where is your dream place to perform?

"I don't really have a single place I would love to perform. I guess I would like to play shows at like a House of Blues, but other than that there's no specific place."

NeverShoutNever and Linden

I could spend time asking how your summer went but the answer is "It was too short and now I have too much homework!" So since we have that out of the way let me introduce you guys to a uniquely talented acoustic artist. Those of you that have heard of him will understand when I say I'm out of words...- 'NeverShoutNever'.

This is the alias of nineteen year old Christofer. His big exposure came... yes, from the internet. A big thanks to MySpace! He began performing as 'NerverShoutNever' in September 2007.

He toured alongside big names such as The Cab, Mercy Mercedes, We the Kings and Forever the Sickest Kids on the Wonka Tour that made a stop at the Lake Buena Vista House Of Blues! This one of a kind big heart artist admires all his fans and takes time to acknowledge them! No matter the emotion he probably has a song to accompany you...I really enjoy 'liarliarpantsonbackwards' and 'I just laugh' NeverShoutNever is available on itunes now! myspace.com/NeverShoutNever


Linden, is a very talented group of singers and musicians coming out of Wisconsin. The group says Linden came from a song they each enjoyed, 'An Oak tree stands beside a Linden' from one of the group's favorite bands “I can make a mess like nobody's business''. Consisting of Kara on vocals, Casi on Keys/vocals and Steven on bass. The vocals of Linden are similar to a less hash not as hard VersaEmerge with musical styling similar to The Morning Of, Meg and Dia and pop's Kate Voegle.

Linden is currently in the studio working on their full length record! You can purchase their EP 'The Future Is...' on either itunes or the bands merchandise store at linden.bigcartel.com! I really enjoyed 'Attached' and 'reflections' which are posted on their MySpace.... Linden is a great pop band headed for a ranking in America’s top 40 countdown! myspace.com/Linden
