With eyes closed or backs turned, An Horse sounds like a full band busting at the seams. It could be assumed that several powerful musicians are behind such a boundless sound, but the reality of An Horse's unique beat-driven music is there are only two musicians on stage. When you're lucky enough to lay eyes on them, you see just two people, rocking twice as hard - making stellar rock music.

Black Napalese may not have their Myspace page together just yet, but their penchant for tight pants, long hair and a strong disposition to GNR and Aerosmith records (probably on vinyl) make them a strong contender in my top picks this week.  The self-described “rock’n’roll machine” have been living in a one bedroom apartment for the past year, so it’s no wonder their music has so much pent-up fervor.  Guitarist Scotty B.
