Album Of The Day: John Davis by John Davis
John Davis is probably best known as the lead singer of alternative rock band Superdrag. But he's been in a few other bands and released a number of solo albums. This album, his first solo album, is a gospel rock album. Many of the songs are about redemption and a relationship with God, but there's also some more personal, introspective songs and love songs as well. This has some great rock grooves and it's a fun one to listen to again. I've heard John Davis has put out more solo albums and has reunited with his Superdrag bandmates, and I should check those out because I liked this album so much, but I haven't done so yet.

Album Of The Day: Cold Hard Want by House of Heroes
As you've probably noticed if you've been reading my regular "Album of the Day" posts, I have lots of music I like. And I like this music a lot, and I can keep posting these for a few more years and not repeat albums. But one artist I haven't featured yet is House of Heroes, who in my opinion is one of the most underrated rock bands of the last 20 years. They have created some great songs and epic concept albums. This album is full of anthems, from "Out My Way" to "Touch This Light" and the closer "I Am A Symbol". Tim Skipper's vocals range from a floating falsetto to a beautiful baritone and the others bring tight harmonies throughout, even while making a huge sonic landscape to go with the lyrics. I wish I got to seem them play more and it's sad that they are no longer recording albums, as far as I'm aware.
