Cheyenne - The Day Has Come

Look out Sheryl Crow, there's a new rock goddess in town. Cheyenne Kimball is the 15 year-old singer-songwriter who you'll probably recognize from her MTV reality series, Cheyenne. Cheyenne's bluesy/rock guitar riffs, soulful voice and refreshingly na�ve lyrics are bound to win you over. Tracks like Breaking Your Heart and Hanging On showcase her impressive talent but a few tracks (Didn't I, Full Circle) are as generic and stale as week-old Wonderbread. Still, the girl shows huge potential, so pick up the album if you get a chance - it might just be worth something one day.

Dashboard Confessional - Dusk and Summer

Dashboard Confessional's usual acoustic rock has been kicked up a notch on Dusk and Summer but its customary end-of-summer vibe remains. Frontman Chris Carrabba plays the part of hopeless romantic on tracks like Stolen and Dusk And Summer, which make the tried-and-true link between a fading summer and fading romance just a tad too clich�. But, The Secret's In The Telling and Rooftops and Invitations are brilliant blends of acoustic guitar and good old-fashioned rock. This is definitely a disk for those of you who like your emo with an extra helping of fromage.
