Meet SodaHead's new favorite artist of the week! Last week, we introduced you to Australian singer-songwriter Emma Louise and this week, we can't stop listening to one-man-band LOW VOLTS. LOW VOLTS' Tim Lowman currently resides in San Diego, California, where he was awarded "Best New Artist" and "Best Blues Album" in 2011. The incredible response to his debut album TWIST SHAKE GRIND BREAK earned him heavy radio airplay and opportunities to perform alongside artists like Band of Skulls, Lucero, Cold War Kids and The Black Lips.

Live, LOW VOLTS puts on an unforgettable show. His intensity and howling vocals demand your attention, and you can't help but marvel at how one man with a guitar and a tambourine-laden kick drum, can produce a sound big enough to rival a multi-person band. His single "I Cried My Guts Out" is everything rock 'n' roll should be -- bluesy, heavy and raw -- with haunting, mesmerizing guitar riffs. And come on...who doesn't love a bad boy who's not afraid to cry? Check out the song below and let us know what you're listening to this week.

This week, I am listening to A Fever You Can't Sweat Out by Panic! At The Disco. Reminds me of middle school.

And I usually don't listen many female singers, and I don't she has plenty of critics, but I've been listening to Lana Del Rey a lot this week.
