Tampa Bay’s online source for all original music by local artists has been busy, with a lot of songs that are new to the website coming in from all around the area. This week, ten new songs have been added to the daily playlist.
A dynamic Christian group from the tiny West Pasco town of Elfers, 39 Stripes, leads the way with the title cut from a new CD called Beyond Broken. Another Christian artist, in fact a minister in the Tarpon Springs/Holiday area, Pete Church, also has a new CD and a new song called Gotta Get Back.
Another new CD recently put together by Clearwater audio recording pro Steve Dockendorf with the title cut, Good Roads and Good Weather. A 
Tampa metal act that claims to be unlike any other is also new this week. Vain Rachell offers up as proof, To Worship the Sun. Another Tampa act submitting new material for webplay is Hannah’s Whirl and their song, Darker Truth.
Five more to go – Clearwater’s Nick Pelley and Orange Hour gives us Angels Fell Tonight. St Pete’s Colin Ward takes out to the beach for a visit with Folks on Treasure Island.
Sarasota is also represented this week with a group that, in their own words, started up as a joke band, but is now getting serious under the name The Equines, and a song that pays tribute to a girl named Alice.
One song that is also new to the MTB playlist this week, is in fact a classic recording called The Ibuprofen Blues. It was originally released in the 90’s by North Pinellas music crafter Fred George and a band he played in then that was known as Southern Snow.
And finally, the title track from another new CD just now being released by Bradenton smooth jazz magician, Winfield Davis, called Bass and Beyond.
