Sambassadeur - Days - Days (2009)

Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine
Mumford & Sons – Winter Winds - Sigh No More (2009)
- my favorite new band I’ve found this go around at SXSW
- such a big, building sound for an acoustic song
- nice use of banjo. Really compliments and adds to the song.

Jason Boesel - Hand of God - Hustler's Son (2009)
- Jim James with a slightly deeper voice. Todd Snider a little even.
- Drummer for Rilo Kiley and even Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst for a bit
- His time with Oberst really shows on this track’s lush folk arrangement.

Bobby Bare, Jr. - I Need You - The American Bread EP (2009)
- EP of Bread covers produced and backed vocally by David Vandervelde
- Son of traditional country legend Bobby Bare
- I’ve enjoyed his more raucous music, but this is still really well done.
- For sure the highest level of production I’ve heard on any of his recordings.

Man/Miracle - Pushing and Shoving - Pushing and Shoving (2008)
- Debut album
- Big My Morning Jacket sound
- Also remind me a bit of the Suckers
Official Site : MySpace : HypeMachine
James Husband - A Grave in the Gravel - A Parallax I (2009)
- solo debut from member of Of Montreal
- starts off sounding like it will be a Psychedelic rock track then mellows out significantly.

Lucero –Darken My Door - 1372 Overton Park (2009)
- New Lucero!
- Ben Nichol's led band's first album on a major label
- The level of polish has jumped significantly and it doesn't seem to fit with them
- They have always seemed like the quintessential bar band, they hoarser and rougher their sound the better.
- With that said, the polish can't disrupt the band's ability to write quality music.
Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine
Part Company - Out of Egypt
- dirty garage rock! Hooray!
- There is no arguing that this genre has exploded this year.
- Whether you like it or not, this is another quality act true to the genre
- Big Rolling Stones energy here.
MySpace : HypeMachine
Twin Tigers - Red Fox Run - Curious Faces/Violet Future EP (2008)
- Debut EP
- Certainly a significant amount of psych here.
- Somewhat reminiscent of Oasis without the hype and polish (that’s a good trait!)
MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine
Suckers – Save Your Love For Me – Save Your Love For Me (2009)
- Latest single
- big pounding, distorted anthem with a couple huge builds
- loads of hype around this short 4 song release… deservedly so!
- Love this Song!
MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine
Windmill - Start a War
- Cover of the National
- London singer/songwriter Matthew Thomas Dylan
- I can see his voice being off putting for some people, but it’s so fragile sounding and just the right amount of quirkiness and nerdiness that I think it works.
- RIYL: Cloud Cult and Polyphonic Spree
Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine
Civil Twilight - Letters from the Sky - Civil Twilight (2008)
- 2nd album
- from Cape Town, South Africa originally
- borders on over produced and too dependent on U2’s sound.
- My Fence Sitter of the Week.
- A big clue for me when it comes to a legit band and one trying too hard to make up for what they lack is over production, fancy packaging and a glossy site. Despite liking this track, this band suffers from all of those things.
