This week's first "Band of the Week" is Florida-based band Southside Serenade. With vocals reminiscent to Dave Matthews and catchy, upbeat guitar playing recalling that of John Mayer, their music is sure to get stuck in your head after the first listen. "Ms Pristine," featured on their MySpace, is an example of one of these tracks. While the track is comparable to Dave Matthews, the faster musical accompaniment has the listener coming back for more.
"Troubled Premonition" is another strong song, featuring a solid drum and guitar interlude. Slower ballad "Birthday at the Beach," is a nice transition from some of the band's faster material, having that huddled around the campfire feel while playing acoustic guitar, or perhaps in Florida natives' Southside Serenade's case, more appropriately situated around a bonfire on the beach.
It seems that Southside Serenade plays gigs mostly in Florida for now, but after giving their MySpace a listen, I'm pretty sure the rest of the country won't be out of reach for too much longer. Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Wow, I love your song a week/band a week idea. How much would you hate me if I steal it? I swear I'm not trying to be the Jewish version of "You Sing, I write." But your ideas are amazing. And so are you.
