Intro: Happy - Jimmie Bratcher (Missouri, USA)

Big names signing up to PMN - seems to rather miss the point so I'll not be playing them. For me, it's about new music and independence from big labels.
Science - Stalling Dawn (Florida, USA)
Based out of Tampa, FL, Stalling Dawn consists of Jesse Morris, Jim Fell, Ryan Gardner, and Nick Brown. They do what they like and they like what they do. They just try to make music that will appeal to most people while still maintaining a definite individual personality. They love playing live.
