What NoiseTrade says about them:
Like a new wind in an often dry and monotonous music ”business,” Courrier’s music is refreshing indeed. With a penchant for melody in the likes of alternative-rock bands like Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, and Kings of Leon, Courrier writes songs as soothing as they are sincere. It is in this duality that Courrier finds their message. In the beauty of existence and the pain of experience, lead singer Austin Jones’ voice even reflects the honeyed grit of reality, while the ascending harmonies and radiant guitars anthem the intimate.

What I say about them:
What a breath of fresh air. In this download you get 4 songs: Right as Rain, Paper Ghost, For your Sake and Running Right. Austin has an amazing voice!! From the vocals to the heavy acoustic guitar and piano to the mix, what a great job!! This is something that I definitely recommend. GO GET IT!
What NoiseTrade says about them:
My new album, 'Now You’re Free', is everything I want it to be. Honest, anthemic and diverse. The songs are full of hope, which in some ways is very new to me. They are the sound of a fresh start. I’m excited about attempting to change something with this record. It could be someone’s mood for a few minutes, the temperature in their room, or the way they watch the sunset driving down the interstate. Music has changed everything for me. I want to be a part of that for other people. So here I am. 27 years old and still climbing the ladder. Partially because I love it, partially because I’m addicted to it. I still tour in a van. I still rummage through the gummy worms at 4am fuel stops. I still look out the window for hours because I can’t sleep in a moving vehicle. I still miss home. And I still dream. A wise man once sang, “I know it’s only rock n roll…but I like it.” I hope you do too. -MM

Matthew has it all. Beautiful voice. Compelling lyrics. What a great musician. This album comes with 4 songs: First in Line (Which I LOVE), Open Road, Tonight and Missed Me. Seriously talented. From the moment the music started I was pulled into the beauty of it all. GOT TO HAVE!

I have always been a fan of Katie! This is just a one song download: Make a Noise! As always Katie has done it! It's a beautiful song! Once the full CD is done it is going to be a MUST HAVE!

What NoiseTrade says about them:
The forthcoming 'TN EP' is a captivating sonic experience that documents the next chapter in the ongoing story of two highly confessional singer-songwriters who spent the last 10 years learning to partner as writers, parents and musicians. As with all gifted songwriters and songs, if you listen closely, you’ll find your story reflected there, as well. Get the single 'From You To Me' now, get the full EP on June 28th.
For Fans Of

What I say about them:
Well I thought it would be something I liked. I love Derek, but I do have to say that I didn't really care for the song. Vocals are a great blend. The music however was not my cup o'tea. The download is only one song "From You to Me." Sad to say I probably won't be purchasing this cd when it comes out.
Happy Listening!!
