Found this youtube video of unsigned artist Kiersten covering Bon Iver….led me to many other great covers of songs I love and her iTunes EPs.

For more vids check out her youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/kierstenmh

40 Day Dream (Live)

Former Ima Robot frontman shows us what The Polyphonic Spree would sound like if it took a music class from Arcade Fire.

Their debut album Up From Below is out now.

Them Crooked Vultures – Nobody Loves Me and Neither Do I (Teaser)

Not much to go on (only 14 second teaser), but already enough power behind this supertrio to blow skinny jean emo kids over like a straw house. Josh Homme (QOTSA) on guitar/vocals, John Paul Jones (Led Zep) on bass and Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) on drums. Note to Chickenfoot: This is what supergroups should sound like.

Dananananakroyd – Black Wax

Another band out of Scotland (see also Frightened Rabbit) that is part indie pop, part post-hardcore. Have toured recently with Foals and Kaiser Chiefs. If your still saying their name, think “Batman TV Theme” and Dan Akroyd.

Debut album “Hey Everyone!” out now.

Close Every Valve To Your Bleeding Heart – Ha Ha Tonka

Ha Ha Tonka is a rock band from the Ozark region of Missouri. Their music has been described as a mixing of bluegrass and southern rock and a “marrying of influences as diverse as The Replacements, The Band, and Kings of Leon.” Check out their new album “Novel Sounds From the Nouveau South”

New EP out now from this UK quartet
