Emma Anzai: 

Emma Anzai the Bassist and backing vocalist for the Alternative Rock Band, The Sick Puppies . Hailing from Sydney, Australia, the female bass player slaps it like any of the boys or even harder. In Interviews she seems to be soft spoken which seems uncharacteristic for such a intense bass player she also has a beautiful voice which is on display on the song White Balloons on the Album Tri-Polar. Initially Emma was the guitar player and her long time band mate and friend Shimon Moore was the drummer. They were brought together by musical interest of Green Day, Rage Against the Machine and Silverchair. After the band made there first album made there 1st album Welcome to the Real World they departed to California to try to make it big in the Untied States. They had some success with their Free Hugs Campaign with the song All The Same. They went on to make Tri-Polar and are gaining success.


Sick Puppies Must Hear Songs:

All The Same 
Maybe

Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi came onto the scene with his debut album which was stellar with a lot of Indie/Alternative songs and a few top 40 radio friendly hits. In Today's day and age for a rapper like Kid Cudi to do what he's doing is few and far between. He wears his emotions on his sleeves and writes songs about more than killing each other and pushing drugs. Cudi throws song out there like his newest single Erase Me which is a unique rap song to say the least and is getting a lot of people excited  for the Legend of Mr. Rager.

 His first album had plenty of heartfelt songs, that you could tell were deeper than the average rap song. In My Dreams and Man on the Moon shows you what Cudi is all about and that he does it for the right reasons and he's not in it for the game. But some songs do make me think he might sell out, i.e Maker Her Say,  lets just hope someone doesn't come along and change the emotional "rapper"

High Expectations for his sophomore album and i expect it to be stellar like the very first one.

Must Hear Cudi Songs:

In My Dreams (Cuddler Anthem)
Erase Me

Man on the Moon

Up Up and Away (Wake and Bake Song)
Persuit of Happiness
