Black Lips – Modern Art – Arabia Mountain (2011)
- 2nd track out off their forthcoming 6th album.
- One of the most fun bands to listen to and see live.
- Sloppy garage rock.
Yeasayer - Phoenix Wind - End Blood (2011) - Record Store Day Release single of b-sides from the recording sessions for their 2nd album, Odd Blood.
- Best Band of Pitchfork Music Fest 2009 By Far!
- Immensely layered quintet
Geographer - Paris - Animal Shapes EP (2010)
- latest release
- There aren't many out there but this is another band that puts off a sound very reminiscent of Yeasayer and Bravestation.
- Played SXSW. One of the surprise highlights!
tUnE-yArDs - Gangsta - w h o k i l l (2011)
- 2nd album.
- Debut full length, ‘BiRd-BrAiNs’ was a huge critical success.
- Eclectic, spastic indie pop sound.
- Merrill Garbus is the main brains behind this act.
- This is the best song I’ve heard from her so far.
Ty Segall - The Slider - Ty Rex (2011)
- T. Rex themed EP of covers for Record Store Day. This release has completely sold me on Ty.
- Huge critical hit.
- Big garage rock here. Think old Black Keys.
- Played one of the loudest, most rockin' sets at SXSW
T. Rex - Baby Boomerang - The Slider (1972)
- The follow-up to one of the greatest albums ever made (Electric Warrior).
- This is a track I had not heard from T. Rex up until I was reading about this Ty Segall project.
King Khan and the BBQ Show – Crystal Ball– Invisible Girl (2009)
- 3rd album
- They are both in the Almighty Defenders with the Black Lips
- They just had a falling out in late 2010 and may not make any more music together.
- The end of this track picks up so much and it's almost impossible to sing along!

Twilight Singers – Last Night In Town – Dynamite Steps (2011)
- 3rd full length
- Led by Greg Dulli.
- Dulli has also collaborated with Mark Lanegan to release a couple albums as the Gutter Twins.

- Whether it’s here or in the Gutter Twins, Dulli is capable of creating deep powerful moods and feelings.
Zola Jesus - Sea Talk - Valusia EP (2010)
- 2nd EP of 2. Also has released 2 full lengths.

- 3rd album and considered one of the best albums from the genre of all time.
- Recently rejoined, classic indie rock band.
