Bear vs. Shark
Post-Punk/Rock
Ferndale, MI USA

For Fans Of: At The Drive-In, Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu
Before I ever listened to Bear vs. Shark I was told by somebody, who’s word I now take with a grain of salt, that B vs. S was just a rip-off of At The Drive-In. While I can definitely see [...]

Deerhoof
Indie Rock/Noise Pop
San Francisco, CA USA

For Fans Of: Sonic Youth, Grizzly Bear, Blonde Redhead
Another cool video from HoistedSail. I didn’t really start getting into this band until I saw this video actually. I haven’t heard much of their stuff to be fair though. I really feel the drummer adds a lot. [...]

Jawbreaker
Pop/Post-Punk/Rock
San Francisco, CA USA

For Fans Of: Fugazi, Jets To Brazil, Hot Water Music
My favorite Jawbreaker album, not just because it’s my favorite set of Jawbreaker songs, but I feel Blake Schwarzenbach’s vocals sounds especially good on this record.
Stream a couple tunes or download the songs in our Free Download Lounge! Not a [...]

Dinosaur Jr.
Indie / Rock / Alternative
Amherst, MA USA

For Fans of: Sebadoh, Husker Du, Sonic Youth
One of my all time favorite bands, I just can never get tired of their sick solo’s and Mascis’ sententious grouse. Whenever I want to be a little nostalgic on the 90’s I like to [...]

American Football
Indie Rock/Lounge
Urbana, Illinois

For Fans of: Cap’n Jazz, Braid, Arma Secreta
I discovered these guys a couple years ago, but their self titled album (which happened to be their only release unfortunately) was released in 1999. Yet another great band lost to me for many years. With American Football’s drifting, and floating [...]

Unwound
Post-Punk/Rock
Tumwater, WA USA

For Fans Of: Fugazi, The Microphones, Indian Summer
Hitting the scene in 1991, these guys never became really popular, as is the case with a lot of great bands that time has forgot. I was fortunate enough to be recommended this band from Steve Cosand over at Compendium of Cosandium. I [...]

My Bloody Valentine
Rock/Alternative/Indie
Dublin, Ireland

For Fans Of: The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, etc.
I’ve just been getting into these guys recently, and I realize My Bloody Valentine is from the 80’s, but hey give me a break, I’m only 25. Okay, I’m old enough to have at least heard their music before this year… my [...]

Kentucky Nightmare
Rock/Alternative/Indie
Bloomington, IN USA

For Fans Of: American Football, Weezer, etc.
I can’t seem to get a couple Kentucky Nightmare tunes out of my head! In particular, “Let’s Get In Love” is such a damn catchy song, you’d be a fool not to listen to it right now!

Sundowner
Acoustic/Punk/Indie
Chicago, IL USA

For Fans Of: The Lawrence Arms, Western States Motel, Jets To Brazil
Chris McCaughan can do no wrong in my book, at least when it comes to creating incredibly infectious, thought provoking songs. Whether it be with The Lawrence Arms, or with his new side project Sundowner. Either way, I can’t get [...]

Bomb The Music Industry!
Punk Rock/Indie/Ska
New York/East Coast, USA

For Fans Of: Dillinger Four, The Specials, Operation Ivy
Great band! Currently one of my favorite bands that I recently discovered. Bomb The Music Industry! is more so a collective of musicians than your typical band with permanent members. Centered mostly around Jeff Rosenstock’s song writing, with [...]
