VA - The Pier Exposed Sampler 2010

Firstly, thanks to everyone that entered. The Pier and the judges were overwhelmed with the strong interest from all the bands that entered from all over the world - over 130 entries.

It was a tough job, but The Pier and the guest judges (Thanks - The Expendables, Dirty Heads, Passafire, John Brown's Body, Ballyhoo! and The B Foundation) came up with this digestible list of 30 bands.

For those that missed out this time round, take comfort this will become an annual event and we will be posting an Exposed news feature every Thursday on The Pier. Starting with your bands!

Lastly, support your local Reggae Rock band as there is a s@#tload of awesome groups out there in every region. You may just have to look a little harder for them and The Pier will continue to try and Expose as many of these bands as we have done since day one.

Enjoy this compilation and let's have a great 2010.

Daniel Wesley - Outlaw

Centering around stand-out vocalist Daniel Wesley(former frontman of XFM Battle of the Bands Champion 'General Mayhem' and modern rock sensation 'Replica'), this trio prides itself on straight-ahead, catchy songwriting that delivers tasty, memorable choruses over a funky drum and bass duo. Only 3 months young at the time of this recording, the boys already boasted a repertoire of 30+ originals and had their sites set on a bright future involving plans to pursue high-powered management, conduct tours along the coasts of North America and seek international radio play. Outlaw has gone on to become a classic among the Daniel Wesley faithful with songs such as "You Ain't Shit", "Johnny", "Yesterday" and "Miss You" becoming the soundtrack to everything from backyard BBQ's to slide shows and even wedding parties.

Chris Velan - Solidago

Solidago is honey sweet and almost too easy to like. There's no doubt that the same social networking, latte drinking gals that gobble up John Mayer and Jack Johnson will find much to swoon over here – Velan's yearning, sexy voice, the warm, interesting guitars, the general coastal sunset pop vibe - but Bluhm's presence is a hint of the subtle layers in what may seem known territory. Further bolstered by contributions from Jackie Greene, drummer Adam Topol (Jack Johnson), Dan Lebowitz (ALO), horn player David Ralicke (Dengue Fever), Sarah Johnston (Bran Van 3000) and Bluhm himself, as well as other Hips, Solidago is open-handed listening that's not simple or pandering – it's just bloody catchy. Caught up in the island rhythms, analog synths, inviting sax and sensuous picking, one discovers inner sway and smiles, and that, friends, is a fine thing.
