On the streets now is GLOBE Design and Vision Presents: Unsigned II, a compilation of musicians connected to the lakeshore.
"We wanted to make this one more diverse," said Bob Schulze, owner of GLOBE Design & Vision in Holland.
Schulze described the first Unsigned as "folky" and used Unsigned II to throw in some of the more poppy and quirky artists such as Jes Kramer, Death By Dancing and We Know Jackson. However, there's still solid folk and acoustic tunes by The Press Delete and Josh Mogck thown into the mix.
"I know every [album] from here on out is going to get better," Schulze said.
Schulze is already getting ready for Unsigned III, which he would like to release in early 2010 and is looking for submissions from bands. The only requirement is the band must have a MySpace.
Bands that meet the requirements can contact Schulze through the Globe Unsigned MySpace at myspace.com/globeunsigned.
In the meantime, fans of local music can pick up Unsigned II at Vertigo, Lemonjello's, Full Circle, Bohemia Too and GLOBE Design & Vision.
