Anthem In

2009-05-18T05:06:48Z

Although Brooklyn's Anthem In was founded over a mutual love of Def Leppard, the band now finds itself miles from hair metal. Instead, they blend delicate vocals, catchy synth melodies, and addictive rock riffs. Make sure to check out their cover of Kate Bush's Cloudbursting over on myspace.

The Dig

2009-01-19T20:19:28Z

You may wanna put on some flannel for this. The Dig takes the gritty sound of '90s grunge, throws in some synth and structure, and churns out smart, edgy tunes. Fresh off a residency at Pianos, an opening gig for Girl Talk and an appearance on Fearless Music, 2009 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the NYC four piece.
* Not to be confused with The Diggs.

Here's a little something for the teen girl in all of us. With his latest album Something to Talk About, British transplant Nick Howard showcases a sugary set of vocals over a soft catalog of acoustic pop. The subtle, memorable tunes have earned a spot on The Hills, along with an endorsement from Lauren Conrad herself. Imagine the shower of training bras at his concerts...

The Orion Experience

2008-12-08T07:42:03Z

If indie bands were a giant family, The Orion Experience would be the gay younger son. Although a bit too flamboyant for flannel-draped rock fans, these guys deliver a refreshing burst of colorful power pop destined for the dance floor. Fans of Scissor Sisters --you'll love The Orion Experience.

Maddy Wyatt

2008-12-05T06:27:45Z

Like a group of hippies storming a smoky jazz lounge, Maddy Wyatt's debut album Backdive delivers a mellowed out fusion of folk and downtempo pop -- easy listening with a message. She is best known for "Man For Me," an ode she wrote for Barack Obama back in '06 which she performed at a handful of pre-election rallies. You can check out one of those rallies here, and then download the tune below.

pH10

2008-12-03T07:24:36Z

Think back to high school chemistry for this one. A 10 on the pH scale indicates a base-y substance, a quality present in Brooklyn trance duo pH10. Even if you're not into the whole 'drop acid and rave' scene, these tunes are exactly what you need for a midday jolt -- call it audible caffeine. Make sure to check out their recent album Well Connected, which features scene legend Pete Miser.

The Giraffes

2008-07-15T05:39:30Z

If you've ever had the urge to break a law, curse in front of a child, or break something expensive, The Giraffes are the band for you. Their unapologetic blend of retro surf-rock and metal is laced with a sense of humor, reminding metal-heads that music can be fun and angry at the same time. Not into metal? Me neither, but their addictive melodies, raw energy and witty lyrics earn them a spot in my Top 5. Go see them live. Trust me.

Jens Lekman

2008-07-01T07:05:14Z

Poor Jens Lekman. It seems like every relationship he finds himself in ends in misery. Lucky for us, he has channeled his broken heart into a charming catalog of string-driven pop, enhanced by intelligent lyrics and tingling vocals. Sometimes tough love makes for a good listen.
