Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Ryan Bingham - Endless Ways - Roadhouse Sun (2009) - 2nd full length. - This gentleman just blew up thanks to the movie Crazy Heart. - The sound reminds me of everything I love about Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown (prior to his last few records). - He skillfully address all styles of alt-country. Slow, soft, and folksy to amped up stompers like those of Drive-By Truckers and Lucero. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Whiskeytown - Revenge - Faithless Street (1996) - Debut album from Ryan Adams' first band. - Immediate and more aggressive that just about anything he recorded later. A trait that so many brilliant debut albums share. Official Site : Amazon : HypeMachine Drive-By Truckers - This Fucking Job - The Big To-Do (2010) - Forthcoming 10th album. Out March 16th. - Masters of the southern garage/bar room rock. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Shearwater – Black Eyes - Golden Archipelago (2010) - Forthcoming 6th album.

Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Brazos - Mary Jo - A City Just as Tall (2007) - Debut EP. Two full lengths out since. - Coldplay fans might like this. - This track has a building warm feel to it. - Broke out with this at the 2008 SXSW Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine The Mynabirds - Numbers Don't Lie - What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood (2010) - Forthcoming full length debut - if this doesn’t fit perfectly with the brand new She & Him track, nothing does. - 60's folk pop vocals. - Download this song for free on their site! Official Site : MySpace : HypeMachine She & Him – In The Sun - Volume Two (2010) - Forthcoming 2nd album - Success was unavoidable here in probably the most widely accepted album of the year - M. Ward’s song writing skill combines perfectly with Zooey Deschanel’s gorgeous voice. - M. Ward is on just about as hot of a role as possible. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Emanuel and the Fear - Dear Friend - Listen (2010) - Forthcoming full length debut. Out March 9th - 11 piece Brooklyn band. - Make me thing of the Avett Brothers a bit and even a little Barenaked Ladies which is kind of weird. Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Eels – Gone Man - End Times (2010) - Newest album - Calls it 'the divorce album.' - Definitely a more restrained album compared to Hombre Lobo Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Mark Sultan - I Am the End - I Am the End 7" (2009) - latest vinyl single release. - AKA The BBQ Show Official Site : MySpace : Amazon : HypeMachine Futurebirds - Dirty D - Futurebirds EP (2010) - debut EP - Download it for free from their site! Official Site : MySpace : HypeMachine Giant Cloud - Old Soul - Old Books EP (2010) - Debut release out last week, January 19th. - This makes me think a lot the Suckers, but with slightly less sporadic arrangements. - They just seem to sway and ramble along.
