Artist: Howie Day Title: Australia Label: Epic Rating: 8/10 Howie Day is 21. Day isn’t from Australia, actually born and raised in Maine. His songs are quick-witted rock.

Our Lady Peace – Gravity
Artist: Our Lady Peace Title: Gravity Label: Columbia Rating: 9/10 It’s about time that America appreciated Canadian music.
