 You
Give Me Something
James Morrison
Already a household name in the UK, James Morrison was introduced to
the US audience in March of 2007, with the release of his album
"Undiscovered." His raw, unconventional style of songwriting
was a breath of fresh air to US radio, none more so than on his song
hit "You Give Me Something" which comes in at #49 on the best songs
of 2007. |

Luna Halo
Luna Halo's front man Nathan Barlowe had a
very big year in 2007. After having his entire band quit on
him, and fighting his was through two previous record deals,
Barlowe's band finally was able to release their self titled major
label debut album in October of 2007. "We could have given up
a million times, but that’s one great thing about this band is that
we won’t give up and we won’t take ‘no’ for an answer,” Barlowe told
Alternative Addiction. |

Graham Colton
2007 marked the return for Graham Colton, with
his album "Here Right Now," an album that Colton said took over a
year and a half to write, demoing over 100 songs. "When I say
wrote [100 songs], I mean it wasn’t like I had little ditties, I
literally wrote over 100 songs, like full complete demoed out. It’s
definitely the most honest I’ve been, and the most vulnerable,
that’s why it took me so long," Colton told AA in November. |

Evans Blue
Evans Blue returned in 2007 with their second
album in as many years, and the lead off single, according to front
man Kevin Matisyn, is about making the right choices in life.
"Its basically about the voice inside of you, telling you what to
do," Matisyn explained. "What’s right and wrong, and when you don’t
listen to what you know is right, the negative effects that can
happen." |

Foo Fighters
The Foo Fighters returned in 2007 with their new album "Echoes,
Silence, Patience & Grace." Grohl described the album in a
very unique way in July of this year. "We have moments of
kick-you-in-the-teeth rock stuff, but there's a lot of power in that
lower dynamic too. To be able to get a room to pin-drop silence with
an acoustic song that means something is sometimes even more
powerful than all the lights and lasers and amps in the world." |

Goo Goo Dolls
Easily the most listened to song on Alternative Addiction this year,
the Goo Goo Dolls song on the Transformers Soundtrack had nearly
20,000 streams in just one day on the website. Alternative
Addiction was lucky enough to score an advance copy of this song

Lovedrug
Lovedrug returned in 2007 with their new
album, "Everything Starts Where it Ends," featuring the number 12
song, "Ghost by Your Side." Lead singer Michael Shepard told
us in April of '07 that the lyrics of that song is actually part of
a short story he wrote. "Lyrically speaking, that was written
about a time in my life when I was in a relationship for a long time
and then it kind of ended abruptly, and it made me think a lot so I
wrote a short story about it." |

Matchbox Twenty
After being quoted in early 2007 as not
setting a timetable for his return to the band, Matchbox Twenty
frontman Rob Thomas eventually did make his was to the studio with
his band to record 6 new songs for their first best of album, "Exile
on Mainstream," an album that Thomas said was recorded in just a
week. "We got together for a week at my house and we all had
song ideas, it's a much more raw, energetic, live-sounding record
than we've done in the past." |

 Apologize
OneRepublic
It took the rest of America nearly all of 2007
to realize what the visitors of Alternative Addiction discovered
nearly a year ago- that this is a damn good song. "Apologize"
hit number one in January of 2007 on the Top 20, and would go on to
spend over six weeks at that spot. What makes this song so
addictive? Perhaps OneRepublic drummer drummer Eddie Fisher
put it best "It hits all genres, and appeals to everyone. And that’s
kind of what we want to do with our music anyway, we want our music
to be for everybody." |
