I’ve been rather useless in the posting department as of late, but after a somewhat inspirational email from Jennifer F. (she basically just flattered me into posting) I decided to share a band I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately.<\/p>\n
Hotel Ahead<\/a> is a four-piece out of Villa Park, IL, in the Chicago suburbs. It just so happens that their drummer, Jon, is a student alongside myself at the University of Illinois down here in Champaign. I’ve had a chance to listen to their Maps Away<\/em> EP the last couple weeks and they deserve some solid playtime here. My favorite is the second track, “It’s The One Thing.” I think it’s a great indicator of the guys’ potential, and it’s a good showcase for the band’s vocals. The rest of the tracks are all good, but I like them all pretty equally, so here’s “I’m Not Your Man.”<\/p>\n Hotel Ahead<\/strong> – It’s The One Thing<\/a>
