Hey everyone. I think Blind Melon fans will really appreciate
this band. Their name is 3rd Lane, and they're starting to generate a
lot of buzz. I'm a big fan of them, so I'm trying to spread the word.
The singer/songwriter writes all of the words and music with a lot of
emotional intensity. My favorite song is `Closure'. It's a really
beautiful ballad. The other songs are heavier but just as good. The
song `Clearly' is a very poetic song about struggling with
depression, and `Nightmares of Reality' is the type of song that
could really take off in a radio format, particularly because of the
catchy chorus. All of the songs are characterized by very personal,
meaningful lyrics, which seem to be lacking in much of today's
popular music. I'll stop rambling on, but trust me when I say that
you should check them out. You can do so at the following link:

Hope you take the time to give it a listen. It's worth it. I would
hate to think that a band like this never makes it.
