ARTIST / BAND: The Acorn
SONG (MP3): Crooked Legs
ALBUM: Glory Hope Mountain
FILE UNDER: Indie / Folk Rock
LABEL: paper bag records
INFO: Part biographical narrative, part surreal fairy tale, Glory Hope Mountain is the story of Gloria Esperanza Montoya. Based on interviews recorded in early 2006 by her son, Acorn songwriter Rolf Klausener, the album is a sonic retelling of the stories from her early life in Honduras to her eventual immigration to Montreal in 1972.

ARTIST / BAND: Freddie Stevenson
SONG (MP3): If An Alien Astronomer Could See Us From Afar
ALBUM: All My Strange Companions
FILE UNDER: Folk Rock / Acoustic / Indie
LABEL: Juicy Musical Creations
INFO: Freddie is the eldest of three children born to Scottish artist and potter Charles Stevenson and children's television writer and producer Jocelyn Stevenson, co-creator of the popular programme Fraggle Rock.[1] Freddie was educated at Harrow School in north-west London from 1993-1998 during which time he taught himself to play guitar before moving to RADA to study drama.
Stevenson originally trained as an actor at RADA. Upon graduating in 2002, he appeared in a number of television and stage roles[2] including Cambridge Spies and State Of Play. Latterly he toured both the UK and USA in Sir Peter Hall's 2003 & 2004 production of As You Like It, which included significant runs at both Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Los Angeles Music Center, during which time he became involved in a long term relationship with co-star actress Rebecca Hall.[3]

ARTIST / BAND: mr. Gnome
SONG (MP3): Night of The Crickets
ALBUM: Deliver This Creature
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Rock / Psychedelic
LABEL: El Marko Records
INFO: The music of mr. Gnome has been described as utilizing elements of AltRock, Metal, Post Punk, and Prog, but lands in a realm of their own making, crafting a compelling sonic-psychedelic melange of indie rock. Since their conception in 2005, the Cleveland duo has released two EPs, receiving wide-ranging and honorable comparisons to Massive Attack, PJ Harvey, Tool, Portishead, Cat Power, Pelican, Death From Above 1979, Bjork and Blonde Redhead. While comparisons vary, one thing is certain - the duo's unique sound explores unpredictable shades of violence and intensity, while meshing the sludgy, reverberating monsoon of hardcore with the feminine. Their debut full-length CD, Deliver This Creature, hits stores May 6, 2008 on El Marko Records.

ARTIST / BAND: My Morning Jacket
SONG (MP3): Evil Urges
ALBUM: Evil Urges
FILE UNDER: Rock / Acoustic / Indie
LABEL: ATO Records
INFO: Evil Urges is the fifth studio album by My Morning Jacket. It will be released by ATO Records on June 10, 2008.[1] Writing began in Colorado, while recording was done in Manhattan.[2] Singer and lead songwriter Jim James said that the band wanted to get away from "normal rock and roll sounds" and emulate more of the band's live sound[3]. The album is the first from My Morning Jacket to feature vocals from band members other than James. Many of the songs were previewed at the 2008 South by Southwest music festival[4].

ARTIST / BAND: From Bubblegum To Sky
SONG (MP3): Even The Sunbeams
ALBUM: A Soft Kill
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Soul
LABEL: eenie meenie

On December 12, 2005, Hernandez announced that he will no longer use the From Bubblegum to Sky moniker and start anew as Seiko and Salome, the names of his parents. However, as of March 2007, Hernandez seems to dropped the new moniker in favor of using From Bubblegum to Sky once again.

ARTIST / BAND: The Pedaljets
SONG (MP3): Agnes Mind
ALBUM: The Pedaljets
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Powerpop / Psychedelic
LABEL: Throbbing Lobster, Twilight, Communion, Oxblood Records
INFO: Good fortune is often a function of timing and fate. Just ask the Pedaljets. By the end of 1990 the four-piece Kansas City band was defunct, yet rumors of its good health persisted. MTV was airing the video to the Pedaljets’ ‘Place in the Race’, and the band (via a concert poster) was a split-second contributor to the opening credits on ‘Saturday Night Live.’Yet months earlier the band had broken up, unware that the stars were aligning in their favor.’We toured so hard: We’d swing into town and swing out. We never really stepped back and said, ‘Maybe we are making an impact,’ ‘ said Mike Allmayer, the band’s vocalist, songwriter and rhythm guitarist.The Pedaljets broke up for many of the same reasons other good bands break up. For six years they’d taken their act all over the world, accumulating lasting friendships and die-hard fans but scant financial reward.The last act of misfortune came during the recording of ‘The Pedaljets,’ the band’s second album, thanks to a heated financial disagreement between their producer and his landlord.

ARTIST / BAND: Langhorn Slim
SONG (MP3): Rebel Side of Heaven
ALBUM: Langhorn Slim
FILE UNDER: Folk / Soul / Rock
LABEL: Kemado Records
INFO: Outside of Philadelphia I was born and raised, and in the playground I spent quite a few of my younger days. At the time I had a preference for brunettes but years pass and we change. When my tendencies turned toward blondes I began to hear the call of the big rotten apple and at eighteen, away I went. Gone were the lonely, sweaty summer nights of PA. The crickets were still cricken’ but not in my ears. I was in New York and I was looking for action. Some crave love, some seek danger but I was on the hunt for open mics and not to brag—I found ‘em. In a section of the city once referred to as alphabet on the lower east side there lurks a lot of white guys with acoustic guitars. This minor mass of songsters would meet one, two and sometimes three times a week in the back of bars, smoking, drinking and sharing with each other our newest creations. It was there that I met some good friends and came of age beginning to play my own shows and tour.

ARTIST / BAND: Chris Mills
SONG (MP3): Atom Smashers
ALBUM: Living In The Aftermath
FILE UNDER: Rock
LABEL: Ernest Jenning/Powerless Pop
INFO: Chris Mills is a roving troubadour, wandering the countryside kicking ass and taking names. He is also a Leo and enjoys holding hands and going to the movies.
This is what people are saying about his new record, THE WALL TO WALL SESSIONS:
"The most gorgeous piece of chamber pop released this year." - Atlanta Journal & Constitution
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Royal Bangs
SONG (MP3): cat swallow
ALBUM: We Breed Champions
FILE UNDER: Indie Pop
LABEL: AUDIO EAGLE
INFO: Royal Bangs from Knoxville, Tennessee, is a laser-fueled, turbo pop
musical group. Once or twice called "like Radiohead vs. fifteen
bottles of Southern Comfort" and "nerd fantasia" by members of the
press. They recorded "We Breed Champions," a full-length, on their
own at home, released on Audio Eagle records May 2008. They sound
awesome. They currently party in select areas of the south east,
traveling with too damn much gear, like a wall of beats from computer blasting dueling guitar wizards into hot dog hell, and sheets of red hot synth slam dunk, singing together as a dangerous old/new pop octopus.
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Cipes And The People
SONG (MP3): Free Me
ALBUM: Conscious Revolution
FILE UNDER: Rock / Pop / Reggae
LABEL: high valley ent.
INFO: Greg Cipes (January 4, 1980 in Coral Springs, Florida) is an American voice and film actor. He is also a singer, musician, composer, and professional surfer. He was ranked #3 Junior Professional Surfer in the U.S. in 1998—the year he began his career in cinema.

ARTIST / BAND: Bridges and Powerlines
SONG (MP3): The Golden Age
ALBUM: Ghost Types
FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock /
LABEL: CityBird Records
INFO: Writing the songs for their debut full-length, Bridges and Powerlines began to notice a recurring motif: the male struggle for maturity despite the persistence of boyhood impulses. The stories that populate "Ghost Types" include a diverse collection of such conflicted protagonists: a depression-era film director, a Bangladeshi cab driver, the captain of a doomed steam ship, and a host of others.
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Frightened Rabbit
SONG (MP3): Head Rolls Off
ALBUM: The Midnight Organ Fight
FILE UNDER: Pop / Folk / Indie
LABEL: FatCat Records
INFO: Though the past year has seen Frightened Rabbit finally step into public view, with more extensive touring and some recordings now publicly available, the past few years have largely been about the band quietly, commitedly honing their sound, and cultivating their art. Now a three-piece comprising Scott, Billy and Grant, the origins of the band are rooted in 2003, when Scott began playing solo shows under the name Frightened Rabbit, mostly in support of fellow art-schoolers Shitdisco. Recordings were made on a tascam 4-track recorder, with Scott playing all the instruments (some more proficiently than others). Though looser, sparser, and certainly more lo-fi in terms of production values, their early demo’s still attest to a burgeoning talent with a defined personality, and a now familiar penchant for being able to nail a near perfect pop song.
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Demander
SONG (MP3): Coolie
FILE UNDER: Rock / Indie / Happy Hardcre
INFO: The three members of Demander, perhaps New York City’s most boisterous, witty and good-natured group, have dug in deep at B-Side, a quaint but bombastic bar on the Lower East Side... The bar has become a second home, rally point and late-night rendezvous for a band devoid of an obvious scene affiliation. This is due primarily to their dizzyingly addictive sound, which siphons off progressive punk and metal while salaciously seizing Sleater-Kinney’s darkest shipwrecked moments
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Soundpool
SONG (MP3): The Divides Of March /Lush (What Becomes You)
ALBUM: Dichotomies & Dreamland
FILE UNDER: Shoegaze / Electronica / Psychedelic
LABEL: aloft
INFO: Soundpool is...
NYC based 5 piece shoegaze/space rock audio/visual recording artists with sweet girlie vox saturated guitar sounds lush synth arrangements and a danceable driving rhythm section who prefer to play out with the backdrop of self produced psychedelic visuals whenever they can.
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Cavedoll
SONG (MP3): Decoder
ALBUM: No Vertigo
FILE UNDER: Pop / Rock / Electro
LABEL: Kitefishing Studio
INFO: One of the most innovative and exciting projects to come along in recent years, Salt Lake City based Cavedoll is perfectly poised to burst on to the international music scene. Cavedoll's modern take on rock music combines elements of the dancefloor, with thick guitars, vocal harmonies, huge hooks, and an impeccable sense of style. Cavedoll's debut album "The Harbor", co-produced by Mark Kendall of Great White, is heavily laden with fan-tested hit songs which grab the listener instantly and suck them in with their memorable choruses and catchy melodies.
Sergi Gvarjaladze
ARTIST / BAND: Yelle
SONG (MP3): Je Veux Te Voir (Club-Club Version)
ALBUM: Electrofy Your Life!
FILE UNDER: Pop / Club
LABEL: source-etc.
INFO: Yelle grew up with music, her dad being a famous musician in the Côtes d’Armor region, where she still lives today. She played the piano, then went on to acting, and played in a few bands that never made it past the rehearsals, but whatever: she knew she was a born performer.
Five years ago, she met GrandMarnier at a marshmallow party. This young musician and producer, was going back and forth between his own band and his student room where he was making beats on his computer. Although his teens were all about Rock music, he was drawn to electronic music after listening to the Beastie Boys and started mucking around with his machines. Yelle started singing on GrandMarnier’s demos just for a laugh at first, but the combination of the boy’s electronic loops and the girl’s half-sung half-rapped voice worked so well that they naturally ended up producing an electro pop album all in French if you please. Yelle’s golden voice was in the house!

ARTIST / BAND: Tim Miller
SONG (MP3): Let Us End
ALBUM: Let's Go
FILE UNDER: Acoustic / Indie / Pop
INFO: My name is Tim - I'm a singer/songwriter based in Dallas, Texas. Like other artists on myspace, I made a list of those I’m influenced by (look left). I know it’s a lot - quite honestly, it’s not even complete. Anyway, I suppose my music sounds like some combination of them; that would make sense really. I've been told a young Bruce Springsteen, with touches of David Gray and Ari Hest. At the end of the day, it's pretty straightforward acoustically driven stuff.
