Frightened Rabbit – Scottish Winds - A Frightened Rabbit EP (2011)
- This is a tour-only EP for their current run with Death Cab For Cutie.
- This is one of their greatest tracks, in my opinion. Why hide it away on a tour-only release?
- 4 albums out.
- Midnight Organ Fight is their best to date.
- Scottish accent stands out, but there seems to be something more than that to his vocals and make them truly unique.
We Are Augustines - Augsutine - Rise Ye Sunken Ships (2011)
- Debut full length.
- Consists of two remaining members of the band Pela, Billy McCarthy & Eric Sanderson.
- Pela disbanded after McCarthy’s brother committed suicide.
- 5th album.
- Has been huge in the UK ever since his 2nd album.
- Slower style of blues than what he grabbed me with initially.
Wooden Wand and the Briarwood Virgins - Motel Stationary - Wooden Wand and the Briarwood Virgins (2011)
- Latest single from this James Jackson Toth project's forthcoming album
- Also released music as WAND after his band left him.

- 5th album with the Jicks.
- Leader of Pavement, one of the pioneering bands of independent music.
- His fourth album, Real Emotional Trash is one of the best albums of the 2000's
- Latest single from a a band that's not shy about releasing vinyl singles.
- 4th album out back in January
- San Fran garage/noise pop band led by Mike Donovan.

- Extremely interesting blend of styles. Freak folk, harder alt-rock, electronic and beat driven.
- I think they are at their best on heavier, more aggressive tracks like this.
- This is the debut single from their debut album.
- 2nd album, Ice Water, is due out this year.
- Band of one of Ill Fits' members. Ill Fits = Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson's new act.

- Debut album
- A band that got its start as the two main members corresponded from Austin , TX and Chicago , IL and emailed each other parts of songs and created their sound.
- Bigger fuzzier rock sounds here. The album also features a lot of lightly acoustic guitar-led songs.
- 7th full length. As the go on their music seems to be gradually less manic and erratic.
- ‘Church Mouth’ is my favorite album.
- RIYL The Raconteurs/Jack White/Brendan Benson
- Full length debut.
- the latest in what's becoming a long line of big indie names collaborating.
- Features Nick Thorburn (Islands /The Unicorns), Ryan Kattner (Man Man), and Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse).
- This track is included on an incredible free Sub Pop Records sampler.
- Debut single
- Latest band from Will Holland. Also known as Quantic.
- Newest project from King Khan!
- One of my all-time favorite musicians teaming up with a couple other folks for this traditional country band.

- Their 2010 debut EP garnered them a lot of good reviews.
- Played the White Rabbit Cabaret and were fantastic!

- This guy's music could pass as Bon Iver's
- He seems to make no bones about his affinity for Justin Vernon… he even titles some of his songs like those of Vernon .
- Good thing I love that sound!
- Played SXSW, but I wasn't able to catch him.
