“Buildings Burn Down” (mp3)
from “Style or Content”
(Impossible Things)
Drinkme are based on the long friendship between bassist Ru and guitarist Julian. Their writing partnership goes back years – school years – but it was not until they got together with guitarist Paul White and drummer Dave Rowlands in 2005 that they came together as the band drinkme. Their influences are as diverse as 70s punk and ska, 80s electronica and 90s Britpop, but it’s their live performances that really set this band alight.

Other Music.com says this is the best in the series so far!
As the principal creative mind behind the NYC-based electro-pop band Burnside Project, Richard Jankovich (aka Pocket) is not just well-versed in pop music production—he’s quickly become one of the most celebrated remixers today. As Pocket, Jankovich has done remixes for Beck, Radiohead, Kristin Hersh, Of Montreal, Elk City, Joanna Newsom and many others, always to critical acclaim.

Sink Or SwimThe Gaslight Anthem
“1930″ (mp3)
from “Sink Or Swim”
(XOXO Records)
These New Jersey boys will make fans out of Against Me!, Hot Water Music, Lucero, and Jawbreaker admirers. The Gaslight Anthem is a furious blend of driving rock and roll with enough melody to force you to hum along. With a penchant for experimentation and odd instrumentation (including organs), TGA are bringing their music to the masses by playing every show possible and spreading their CDs and t-shirts to every open hand and bare back.

“It’s like being intimate with total strangers.” That is how Rachel Stolte of Great Northern describes the feeling of performing live and creating a connecting with her audience. The sentiment could be duly applied to the band’s latest release, Remind Me Where the Light Is, on which Stolte and co-writer Solon Bixler pour so much of themselves into their highly personal lyrics and wistful melodies.

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are a certified pop phenomenon. They’ve taken the indieworld by storm with their infectious brand of noisy indie-pop, releasing a string of eagerly
awaited singles that culminated in February 2009 with the release of their smashing selftitled debut album. Taken from that album, Young Adult Friction is a saucy tale of teenage
lust in the library that bops along to an updated 80s groove that marries the classic strum ofThe Pastels with a bit of late Smiths polish.

“Still in the Dark” (mp3)
from “Aranda”
(Astonish Entertainment)


Their self-titled album is their first LP release, but the wall-shaking Oklahoma band are not strangers to the music scene. Brothers Dameon and Gabe Aranda have been writing, singing, and performing together for over a decade, with the fans to prove it: last year, an army of Aranda addicts made them the #1 Finalist in Lollapalooza’s “Last Band Standing” competition. With the help of Grammy-nominated producers Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello, Aranda gives a sound reminiscent of Lenny Kravitz and Led Zeppelin. Now, with their four-piece band, Aranda deliver a confident powerhouse of an album that matches the force that they carry onstage.

Electric Touch – Sounds From The Underground

Stick an Englishman in a band with three true blue Texans and you’re bound to come up with something pretty damn original.In this case, the result is Electric Touch, the type of unbridled rock band that’s been missing from the scene for sometime now- a monster of a group whose sound is big enough to fill an arena.
