 Let
Me In
Mr.North
Debuting in the music scene late in 2004, Mr.North made their mark
in 2005 scoring two spots on this chart. Never afraid to push
themselves to the edge, Mr.North caught the ear of Alternative
Addiction visitors with their refreshing straight ahead rock sound.
'Let Me In' spent two months on the AA Top 20 including several
weeks in the top ten. |

 Hello
Lonely
Theory of a Deadman
Theory of a Deadman found minimal commercial success with their 2002
debut record, but on 2005's Gasoline, the band took their sound to a
whole new level and the listeners responded. 'Hello Lonely'
perhaps the most impressive of the bands new tracks revealed a whole
new side of the band, and catapulted them to new heights. |

Dishwalla
Dishwalla returned in 2005 with an impressive new album. Like
their previous releases, Dishwalla experimented with a new sound and
the result was an album that was not only refreshing, but incredibly
inspiring. The second single from it, 'Coral Sky' spent over
three months on the AA Top 20 chart, including two weeks at number
one. |

July For Kings
It had been nearly three years since we had heard new music from
July For Kings when they released the Nostalgia EP. The EP was
over flowing with great tracks that beg the question, How is this
band still unsigned? 'One By One' spent nearly four months on
the AA Top 20, and was the second track from this brilliant EP to
reach number one on the chart. |

 Better
Days
Goo Goo Dolls
The Goo Goo Dolls gave us a sneak preview at 2006, with this single
from their upcoming new album due out in the spring. 'Better
Days' is just a classic Goo Goo Dolls song, heartfelt lyrics, backed
by strong melodies, and an undeniable hook. We can only hope
that the rest of the music the Goo Goo Dolls have to offer in '06 is
as good as this first single. |

Greenwheel
For years Greenwheel's independent debut album was an incredibly
obscure CD. But in 2005 Greenwheel treated their fans with a
re-release of this album, giving everyone a chance to hear the roots
of this great band. Late this year they released
'Caving In' a brand new track found exclusively on
The Addiction V.7 compilation. |

Augustana
Early this fall, Augustana splashed onto the scene with their major
label debut 'Stars & Boulevards' an impressive collection of melodic
tracks that will immediately remind listeners of bands like Counting
Crows and Train. The title track 'Stars & Boulevards' may not
have gained a ton of radio play, but it certainly caught the ear of
many new fans. |

Jack's Mannequin
Jack's Mannequin took the honesty of Something Corporate, and
stripped it down to reveal the core of what made that band so
enjoyable - the lyrical genius of Andrew McMahon. Much of the
record was written and recorded shortly before McMahon was diagnosed
with Leukemia in the spring of 2005. |

Black Lab
Perhaps one of the most anticipated albums of the past five years
was finally released in 2005, 'See The Sun', the second album from
San Francisco's Black Lab. Almost 5 years in the making, this
album was worth every day we waited. 'Without You' was just
one of an overwhelming number of incredible tracks on this fantastic
album. |

Better Than Ezra
While the track wasn't originally released in 2005, its longevity of
popularity is perhaps its a testament to how moving this song truly
is. Released nearly four years ago, on the band's '01 release
'Closer', only to never be promoted as a single in due to the
label's bankruptcy. Better Than Ezra knew this song was just
too special to not give another run, they put it on this years
'Before the Robots'. |
