Ooh La La Sha Sha

Jive Sucka

These funk soul brothers provide the most musical fun I’ve had in a long time.

Trying to Escape the Bigotry

Self-Released

These two brothers are like a poor man’s They Might Be Giants. Quirky, literate and just downright fun, Electric Needle Room is worth checking out.

SideCho Records 

Some of the best atmospheric pop music to come out in years. It also helps that they were produced by Spoon lead singer Jim Eno and that they were called Death Cab for Cutie’s Chris Walla’s favorite new band in the magazine Under the Radar. Via Audio is a band to actively look for. They are that good.

If you like the oddities of The Flaming Lips and Super Furry Animals, then you’ll love The Umbrella Sequence.

What I have to Give, Let It Be Enough

Blue Duck Records

You need to listen to this album. The diversity is amazing. From power pop to etherial meandering drones, After the Sirens have created an uncategorizable masterpiece.

Land of Sea

No label

This is a folky hipster’s delight. Soft, light and perfect for the coffeehouse.

Starring; Someone Like You

Eyeball Records

This is the type of music that Bjork’s children will eventually make. Strange, etherial, and brilliant.

Vs. The Hornet

HEYOU! Records

This is an assult on the eardrums that harkens back to the 70’s punk scene. Unadulterated in-your-face f— it-all punk rock.

I Finally Know What’s Good For Me

No label

It’s like they took the keyboard theme from Taxi and meshed 90’s alternative rock to it. It’s not bad, but unremarkable.
