Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Fanfarlo - Harold T Wilkins - Reservoir (2009) - Debut album - Remind me a lot of a lighter version of Arcade Fire. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Chief - Stealing - Mighty Proud (2009) - debut single out this year - has a feel of a different decade. - Like Cincy’s Buffalo Killers, these guys bring a slightly hazy psychedelic rock that would hold up against some of the late 60’s and 70’s originators of that sound. MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine The Roadside Graves - My Father Sat Me Down - My Son's Home (2009) - 2nd album - Very well received album. - Remind me a good deal of Lucero and their bar room style of rock/southern rock. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Ike Reilly - Morning Glory - Hard Luck Stories (2009) - 6th album… his 4th, We Belong To the Staggering Evening, might be his best. - Reilly is one artist that I think would be a blast to see live. His songs already sound like they were recorded in a rowdy, smoky bar (kind of like Lucero). - He always has top notch lyrics. Witty and funny and fits perfectly with the broad range of usually upbeat styles he plays. - After first listen it has a few solid tracks, but not quite as consistent as his previous work. Too much polish! (that is one of the biggest hurdles for me when it comes to liking an album) Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Slow Club - It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful, Unless It’s Beautiful – Yeah So (2009) - Debut album - Guy/girl duo - Rolling folk rock sound. MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Titus Andronicus - Four Score and Seven Part One – The Monitor (2010) - Forthcoming Civil War-themed 2nd album - Out march 9th - Named after the Shakespeare play - This is the mellower half of their 2 part lead single. Think Springsteen’s Nebraska. Myspace : Amazon : HypeMachine Future of the Left - The Hope that Health Built - Travels With Myself and Another (2009) - 2nd album - Included on numerous Best of 2009 lists and another miss by me. - Out of Wales. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Gigi - The Old Graveyard (Feat.

Originally out in 2004 - Led by environmentalist Craig Minowa - A band that’s been interesting and influential indie pop since 1995. - I reference this band a lot when talking about newer bands taking on this style because these guys are so good at it!
