2007 previews: America - Here and Now - Got a copy of this one early and have fallen in love with a few of the tunes, especially the Nada Surf and Maplewood covers. Their own songs are up to snuff, also. Disclaimer: I'm old and I've always liked the band. Maybe I'm looking for an excuse to find something good here. Adam S. and James Iha have attempted to keep the original America sound and still managed to update it for 2007. I think they succeeded.
EPs: Grand Atlantic, Josh Rouse Bedroom Classics 2
Honorable mentions: L.E.O., Saul Zonana, Jet, Robert Pollard, Sugarcult, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matthew Ryan and Matthew Sweet/Suzanna Hoffs.
