"There's a common theme on this record," says Bryce Avary, the frontman, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist behind The Rocket Summer. "Wanting to do greater things for the world, and not just trying to be a rock'n'roll star. I think we all have that desire but our issues and daily life get in the way. These songs are about trying to overcome that."

Talk with Avary for even five minutes and you'll discover a young man who is the complete opposite of today's rock star. He's confident, but humble. His attitude is undeniably positive in a genre that perpetuates misery and self-loathing. And he sees the bigger picture – who he is now, what it took to get there and where he wants to go.

He's also freakishly talented. Do You Feel, his third full-length record and first major label release, is similar to his previous work in that he wrote and performed the entire album himself . It's rock guitars, sunny pop and a cavalcade of pianos. It is also possibly the most energetic and upbeat album you'll hear all year.

The Secret Handshake is the musical project of Luis Dubuc. A self taught musician, Luis has loved music ever since he was a child. "I didn't know it was abnormal to dance in front of the mirror to Michael Jackson at 8," he laughs, "but I just loved the music." The pop influences are obvious today. Luis writes everything for The Secret Handshake in his room - alone with just his Wurlitzer piano and Apple computer. With one listen you can tell this band stands out from others - The Secret Handshake's got heart and soul.
