Foo Fighters

"You know, I hear stuff like that," guitarist Chris Shiflett says when I put it to him that Foo Fighters are just about the biggest rock band in the world. "It doesn't feel like that. I think that we're just one of the last sort of regular, straight-forward, blue-collar rock and roll bands out there, you know? I don't know that we're the biggest rock band in the world, I don't know anything about that. I just think that there are not too many people who do this kind of thing."

Matt Costa
Unfamiliar Faces
Brushfire

A few weeks ago I fell in love with skater and singer Matt Costa's sophomore record 'Unfamiliar Faces' and it's impossible to stop listening to it. Signed to good friend Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records, it was inevitable that fame would cross Costa's path but he takes no notes from Johnson with a diverse pop sound that is quite separate from the skater/surfer style that a label such as this might give him.
