M. Ward


M. Ward - Myspace . Many of you have heard M Ward as he's been around since 99 and he's guest appeared with everyone that's indie. Listen to "Chinese Translation" & "Helicopter". If you haven't heard of M. Ward, put on your "get ready for a different type of music" pants and listen to his songs. I like him for the most part mainly because he's different and combines a lot of musical styling on his songs...for example listen to "Helicopter" and you'll feel like Johnny Cash's band is backing him up. M. Ward sums up artists from Portland: making music you've never heard before but will hear in 2 years.


For some reason I feel like he is an artist like Jeff Buckley or Elliott Smith that had very unique music and no one understood them at the time. Then they died and could've been great, but they're young death stopped all that. But he's not dead, and very much alive....weird but that's the way I feel.
