This week's list is quite extensive and diverse. From soul to pop punk to out there indie, the list below has something for every one of our readers.
A few weeks ago we alluded to Anthony Green's video for "Dear Child". With his new album Avalon out now, we are sure you will be just as pleased as we were.
Working his way from the likes of The Faint to Bright eyes and eventually to a self-titled ensemble, Conor Oberst's album should figure into some year-end accolades as it carried an obvious eclectic flavor. The Faint's Fasciinatiion should also appease the electro-rock fans.
After leaving The Starting Line to take on ventures of his own for a little bit, Kenny Voseli's Person L hits stores with the first taste of his new sound (although fairly similar feel).
Other artists we recommend to check out this week are Hawthorne Heights, Jack's Mannequin, Marching Band, Feels Like July, Oxford Collapse and Ulrich Schnauss. There were some more interesting groups that caught our eyes, too, but we will dissect those at a later time.

Above: Former TSL frontman, Kenny Vasoli is now on his own.
If you know The Starting Line, then perhaps you already know about the former TSL lead singer Kenny's side project (Person L) since their break up a few months ago. From the sounds of it, Kenny is still doing quite well, expermimenting, evolving and taking his time to learn more about music and grow into something new and even more potent. Judging from the clips on Person L's MySpace, Kenny hasn't skipped a beat.
MP3: Person L - Storms
A little more about Person L from the K-man himself:
Check out Person L on MySpace, Last.fm, and YouTube.Person L is collaborative musical effort founded by myself, Ken Vasoli. Person L was started as an outlet for me to experiment with a variety of influences, genres and musicians. With the exception of myself the members of this band will be constantly revolving and the sound will continually evolve and adapt. What will never change is the motivation I have to explore the limits of music and myself. I hope you enjoy what we come up with, and with that I prouldly present Person L.
