What the Heart Wants, the Heart Gets
Relying on familiar sounding melodies and phrasing, the music of America Heart draws you into a complex and personal story. Their musical offerings are inviting, honest and simple on the surface, resonating long after the song has ended. Once you give in to their steady beat and an endearing story line or two of mice and men, you will quickly find yourself at the doorstep of America Hearts.
A Healthy Dose of Reggae Fusion
There’s a new face in the DC punk/reggae scene. Formed in late 2008, GroundScore released its debut album, Healthy Children, in December of 2009. The self-produced album is a 12-track mixture of reggae rhythms, ska guitar, upbeat upstrokes, and punk-style distortion. Heavily influenced by the ever-popular group Sublime, the band also adds in some psychedelic guitar solos and metered rhyme schemes, allowing them to break away from the standard punk/reggae template.

When One Door Closes
Joe’s Record Paradise is a local music institution that has been fulfilling the music needs of DC audiophiles since 1974. Previously located in Rockville, MD, and now in Silver Spring, the store houses an extraordinary collection of vinyl. When word spread that the store was moving to Silver Spring, patrons of the store wondered if more about the store would change than just its zip code.
