Looking for something new to listen to?

Happen to be a fan of the bands All Time Low, We the Kings, Cobra Starship or even The Academy Is...? Well, look no further: the brilliantly catchy songs of Artist vs. Poet are perfect for you!
In a sense, they have very much gone with the group when it comes to the pop-infused rock songs that are so popular now, but by no means whatsoever are they indistinguishable. Their unpredictable but addictive synthesizer work and uniquely clever lyrics set them apart and make them into an act not to be missed or overlooked by fans of this genre. Their music gives a fresh, new, enthusiastic and romantic vibe that will soon be recognized by fans of the genre and, hopefully, welcomed with both open arms and open ears; for with every new love song they add to their repertoire they seem to be offering something new about their style.

The group of five energetic young men is as of yet not particularly well-known, though with the release of their self-titled EP in November 2008 they have since gone off on a few tours with other small acts such as My American Heart, Valencia and Danger Radio, and are swiftly beginning to gain recognition for the new spin they have put on an already well-established genre. Their fans are certainly a devoted, affectionate bunch, showing great support and appreciation for the music they have seen so far, which means that we can hopefully look foreward to them sticking around for a while, and providing us with much more great music. A definite must hear for sure.
