Bat For Lashes

Sounds like... Heather Nova meets Bjork with a sprinkling of Kate Bush.
But just a sprinkling.

Black Lips

Sounds like... the hazy dream like drug culture 60's rock of Velvet Underground and now Brian Jonestown Massacre meets new age surf town Punk.
I know that's a mouthful. But this band is a handful.
I was lucky enough to get to see them Live at the El Rey in LA back in May.
Who said LA crowds are lame? I haven't seen this much stage diving since 91. And I sure as hell haven't seen a mosh pit like that, in a small club, since at least 92. Anyway, It's a show to check out. Just stand back a little further than you normally would and if you're over seas, watch out for the urine and the vomit. That's not to much to ask... is it?
This right here is my Jam. Gives me the chills every time.

Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks"

Sounds like... Okay yes the Piano sounds very very similar to Dr. Dre's "Still"
But this band is going in a totally different direction.
And honestly after watching the video...
I don't care about anything but crawling into my bed and pulling the covers over my head.
Damn right I'm scared. That shiz was creepy!

Ida Maria

Sounds like... Bjork
If Bjork rocked it a little harder in the Rock Pop World.

Andrew Bird

Sounds like... a bird half the time (get it...cause he whistles a lot)

This video speaks for itself...not only for the whistling but just how amazing he is.
