Simple, like a whisper, Someday Jacob takes Rain and makes a vision from the drops. There’s nothing particularly new or different about their sound, and yet it is mesmerizing.

Honestly, this is just a shame. Today’s artist is relegated to selling themselves in a two or three minute snap-shot. Sometimes it’s enough. Sometimes it isn’t. Packaging is still…
Read MoreMost of the time I’m looking for something that is original, new, and sometimes old and forgotten. However, when this video was shared on Google+, it inspired me to take a look at this group. Walk Off The Earth is a group of extreme talent, even if the bulk of their material is covers.
