- Best album was 'The Supreme Genius of King Khan and the Shrines’
Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears – She’s So Scandalous – Scandalous (2011)

- Swedish folk outfit.
- They also have one EP out and a DayTrotter session well worth your time.

Withered Hand - Religious Songs - Good News (2011)
- Best of 2011 leftover.
- Debut full length, but has two previously released EPs
- Neil Young-heavy sound.
- His best song and unfortunately very profane. The FCC would not appreciate it if I didn’t edit… or maybe they would because it would result in them getting more cash for no good reason!
- Favorite new (to me) band!
He's My Brother She's My Sister - Escape Tonight - Escape Tonight Single (2011)

Thao & Mirah - Squareneck - Thao & Mirah (2011)

- Debut release from garage/folk supergroup featuring Deer Tick's John McCaualey and Ian Saint Pe of the Black Lips (that’s the guy who produced the Turf War debut album).
- An appropriately titled first single from a band who says their name is a play on the phase ‘I’m on drugs.’
WU LYF – Such a Sad Puppy Dog – Go Tell Fire To the Mountain (2011)
- Debut album.
- ‘World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation’ or ‘Love You Forever’
- Sound like Wilderness or Explosions in the Sky with lyrics.

Delta Spirit – French Quarter - I Think I've Found It EP (2012)
- One of two simultaneaously released free EPs. The Waits Room EP is the other.
- New album is out March 13th.
- debut album was 'Ode To Sunshine' and it exploded in 2008.
- I admit to not being totally sold on these guys, but I've come around on them.
- If you get into the Cold War Kids or the Strokes you should like this band.
Lana Del Ray - Video Games - Born To Die (2012)
- Debut album that is already getting a ton of hype.
- This is the lead single.
- She just played SNL and got ripped for her 'terrible' showing. Craziness!
Sleigh Bells - Comeback Kid - Reign of Terror (2012)
- 2nd album.
- HUGE hype engulfs everything this band does.
- One of the biggest breakouts of 2010.
- Debut full length was 'Treats' and featured one of the best tracks of 2010 'Rill Rill.'
NewVillager - Rich Doors - NewVillager (2011)
