Love the stuff I heard from these guys. This I gotta check out though.

[American Idiot]

I've only heard "You Are Here" a couple of years back, but it reminded me a lot of Switchfoot. With that being said, I'm anticipating this one.

[PHOBES]

I remember hearing "Washed by the Water" a lot on the radio. Very soulful, and just a good song all-around. I'll give this one a listen.

Love this song. This band deserves some radio success.

[JCMF3]

I love this band! I hope that they find success. I am anxious to hear this song.

This isn't too bad at all, I have to say I'm surprised its charting in the top 50 of Alternative only because the current state of Alt doesn't seem to service this type of song lately. I'm having a harder time understanding why Vertical Horizon couldn't get play if this can, it more screams Hot AC/AAA (where they have another song currently charting). Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it is charting but I'm starting to think its more ageism that holds older bands from getting the "hip" alternative play, unless of course you are one of the perceived grandaddies of the format. It seems the groups who might be considered second tier, like Third Eye Blind, Better Than Ezra and that aforementioned Vertical Horizon are completely bypassed.

Go Hurricane! Pave the way.

You make a very point here. I could probably think of many bands whom did very well say 10-15 years ago on Alternative and are still doing well on Hot AC/AAA, but never get any Alternative airplay. I could think of a great example currently. Lifehouse's "Halfway Gone" peaked at #2 on Hot AC, but never touched the Alternative chart.
