Today’s song is “One Day” by TJ Courtney. This is the first single off the Boston-based rocker’s debut album, Into The Sky. The album was produced by Andrew Dixon (Colbie Callait and Ryan Cabrera) and features songs co-written by Jason “Space” Smith, best known for his cuts with post-grunge rockers Seether, and Waymon Boone of Splendor. Into The Sky will be released this month on March 27th.
Amongst an overload of autotuned bubblegum pop, TJ’s raw music is striking a chord with today’s youth. The record is already sweeping college radio, being played in heavy rotation on over 30 stations including KXLU (Los Angeles) KSLU (St. Louis), WECB (Boston), WXIN (Providence), WKWZ (Long Island), WSIN (New Haven) WSIA (Staten Island) and WCCX (Wisconsin). TJ will be back in the studio this spring recording a follow up to Into the Sky. Fans of of Foo Fighters, Soundgarden and Oasis will enjoy the powerhouse vocals and angst-ridden, insightful lyrics that TJ brings to his music, reminiscent of 90’s grunge.
The video for the song questions our negative impact as a species on the world, was filmed in his destroyed childhood home in the wake of tornado. You can watch the video below. For more information check out his official website, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter pages.
