JJ's "Ecstasy"

Sounds Like... The Lonely Islands "I'm on a Boat"
So I know "Ecstasy" samples Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop"
And "I'm on a Boat" parodies rap songs in general.
So does that cancel this Sounds Like out?
You be the judge...

Band of Skulls

Sounds Like... The White Stripes with more people. Maybe The White Stripes with the Lead singer from The Kills. But not Dead Weather. No, definitely not Dead Weather. It sounds so much more definite when you say it twice. But to tell you the truth, maybe a little bit like Dead Weather.

Gregory Pepper and His Problems' "7ths and 3rds"

Sounds like... Ben Kweller meets Postal Service meets Calvin Harris.
With a straight up Eddie Murphy rip off at the end.
Where did this guy come from? I love him and I'm moving to Canada.

Enjoy!

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.

Etienne De Crecy

Sounds like...Daft Punk
If you replace all the Triangles with Squares then remove all the squares from the equation and throw a bunch of unrelated shapes in to a small loud room.
That was my attempt at a show review after seeing Etienne's performance at Cinespace in LA last night. De Crecy will stop in SF for one more small club night before taking his Squares to the stage to headline All Points West in NY/NJ this weekend. I would not pass on this stage if you are going to be at the festival.

Throw Me The Statue's "Hi-Fi Goon"

Sounds like... Weezer meets Built to Spill

Feist's "Limit To Your Love"

Sounds like... Joni Mitchell
