Bulldog Music Presents "The 3739 Top 27 Most Anticipated of 2009" Also bands you NEED to check out!

Ok so i started working on this project and realized it was going to be way too huge for one post! So here is part one of a 4 part series of the most anticipated albums of 2009 and or bands you need to check out that you never have heard of! enjoy!

27. Ivoryline-Speculation for new album



Tooth and Nail continues to add to their power house line up and last year they added Ivoryline. I was very impressed with these guys and the their sound, though it can be easy to roll your eyes thinking the world doesnt need another Anberlin or Classic Crime, I think youll be pleasantly surprised by Ivoryline as not another copy but a new sound!

26. Seabird-Speculation for new album



I picked up their album awhile back since "credential records" has yet to disappoint me with any bands they have signed, and they continue to hold up their name! i really enjoyed seabirds softer melodic rock and catchy tunes, worth your while to at least go listen to!

25. Mat Kearney-"City Of Black And White" May 19th



I remember buying one of Mat's cds when i was in k-town with ryley and cam! me and ryley picked up his cd and both loved it! i have never had the privilege to see him live but i love his stuff! he mixes an acoustic rap like style very well! similiar to Paul Wright but in my opinion better writing! ive been looking forward to a new album from him for some time now and cant wait to pick this one up in may!


24. Fair-Speculation



again another great band that hasnt put something out in a long time! lead singer aaron sprinkle is a very busy man working with a lot of bands (Pedro the Lion, Acceptance, Emery, Anberlin and Damien Jurado just to name a few) so it may be the main reason why he hasnt put anything out as of late! none the less another great band to check out! great melodic rock that is very well done!

23. Fiction Family-"Fiction Family" January 20, 2009



What do you get when you combine Jon Foreman from switchfoot and Sean Watkins from nickle creek? well you get Fiction Family! now i know their cd is already out but it did come out in 2009 so im throwing it in anyway! these two mesh to make a great duo and in my opinion anything with Jon Foreman is worth checking out! Fiction Family is not as heavy as switchfoot but not as mellow as Jon Foremans solo stuff!

22. Hawk Nelson-Late 2009 (they are coming out with a remix cd this year as well)



I will never forget being in the mosh pit the first night of Creation fest 2008 and looking around me wondering why there was so many teenage boys and girls, and then hawk nelson started playing and it all made sense! ha now dont get me wrong these canadian boys know how to rock (they are from Peterborough, Ontario) and you could tell that while they were on stage that night! they put on a great show and the pit was actually pretty crazy (as far as creation fest goes). these guys have done some great stuff and is sure to continue to get better as they get older and tighter as musicians! maybe not always my cup of tea but they deserve to be on this list!

21. Kmax (Kevin Max)-"Cotes d'Armor" sometime 2009



Ok so i have never seen Kmax live (not even when he was with DC Talk) and i have never met him but lets be honest hes just kinda weird! ha but i guess i am too......none the less this guy has one of the best voices i have ever heard (one of the many reasons DC Talk was amazing) to this day my favorite album of his was his first but he still makes great music! though he never will be what he was with DC Talk, and i dont even think people really know him for that anymore (sadly the DC Talk generation is getting older haha) he is still very talented and has some great stuff worth checking out!

well thats that dont ever say that you dont know any good bands to check out or new music! you now have a great start! by the way if your looking to listen to any of these guys dont go download thats not the point of this post! go check out their myspace or find someone who has the cd and borrow it! or even go buy it haha! DONT DOWNLOAD ITS STEALING! ha ok well the music industry can never say i didnt do anything for them haha! have a great day guys!
