good winter
Bon Iver is indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon's current band and most notable music project to date. The band also consists of Mike Noyce and Sean Carey. The name ‘Bon Iver’ is a play on the French phrase ‘bon hiver’ for ‘good winter’.

Mean Everything To Nothing , the second album from Atlanta's Manchester Orchestra, is everything you want a rock record to be: raw, urgent, emotional, and 100 percent authentic. There is nothing fake about this record, it has been recorded live obviously wanting it to sound like a band, and I think it does: live and loud! This young band has created its own version of what a classic rock album should sound like, complete with fiercely beautiful melodies, shifting guitar and keyboard textures, loud/soft dynamics, and an urgency in each band member's performance, especially Hull's cathartic vocals.
