First I want to apologize for not writing in a while (both to my readers and to my other writers), and for the fact that over the next few weeks, there may not be posts every day as I am in the process of moving, which I'm sure most of you know is very time-consuming.
Anyway, today I'm posting two songs that, upon first listen, I initially thought were "oldies," because of their retro song but then quickly realized they were very current. I also have to say, for someone like me who doesn't always love the style of oldies, I really like these songs.
The first one has kind of an early '60s sound to me, with simple drums, metallic guitars, spacious vocals and Beach Boy-esque harmonies.
The second song has more of a classic rock sound, with laid-back rambling/rolling verses, relaxed vocals, and then the quintessential hair-metal-esque guitar interludes, plus high-pitched male back up vocals, all of which combine to make me want to get out a lighter and sway it back and forth in the air.

Yukon Blonde
Canadian pop-rock band Yukon Blonde dropped their self-titled debut today, full of 60's-influenced tight harmonies and folk-rock jangles that ease into the ear and resonate trouble-free journeys. They've been compared to Fleetwood Mac and Crosby Stills Nash and Young, but we'll let you be the judge of that. We've got two tracks for you, and if you like what you hear, you can purchase the album on iTunes.
