• Passion Pit

  Posted on Thursday July 16th, 2009 at 16:15 in indie music, bands, indie pop, indie electronic, passion pit

  I am all about Passion Pit. I would compare them to MGMT and Cut Copy because they’ve got that electronic disco feel to them. Have a look. I wish I could see them at the Monolith Festival but my wife is having a baby. Maybe I’ll still...

  Posted on Monday November 10th, 2008 at 09:16 in indie music, video, downloads, bands, indie rock, indie pop, vampire weekend

  I’m a little late on this one too, like 10 months. I never profess to be the first to know about awesome indie music, I just pass along the good stuff when I hear it. Vampire Weekend released their first album in January of this year and it ha...

• Pavement

  Posted on Friday November 7th, 2008 at 15:46 in video, downloads, bands, indie rock, indie pop, pavement

  I really really like Pavement. From what I can tell, they haven’t had a major event since 1999 at the Glastonbury Festival. However, 2009 would be the 10-year anniversary of their last show- reunion tour? I sure hope so. I would peg Pavement...

• Sparrow House

  Posted on Thursday October 16th, 2008 at 12:31 in bands, acoustic, indie folk

  Sparrow House is a little known one-man project that is definitely worth some headphone time. I can’t remember how I stumbled across Sparrow House but I definitely want to spread the word. Jared Van Fleet is the voice and the guitar behind the...

  Posted on Friday July 11th, 2008 at 11:37 in indie music, downloads, bands, indie rock, indie folk, la celula durmiente

  La Célula Durmiente is an indie band from Spain (we love international music submissions). I also love bands that can play so many different styles- country, pop, emo, hardcore, tex-mex, circus- especially when they keep you coming back for more. ...

  Menomena has been around for a few years and have a couple of solid albums under their belt. I have been a fan for a long time and I know that I say this a lot, but if you haven’t given these guys a chance you really need to. They are pure go...

  Posted on Friday February 29th, 2008 at 09:45 in downloads, bands, indie rock, indie folk, trapper schoepp band

  The Trapper Schoepp (pronounced “Shep”) Band on Shepizzle.com… it just has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? I suppose it’s only fitting that I share this indie folk rockin’ band from Wisconsin’s music with you...

  Posted on Monday February 11th, 2008 at 22:57 in downloads, bands, indie rock, indie folk, sea wolf

  Sea Wolf (a.k.a. Alex Church) is currently in heavy rotation on my playlist. I know that I have found a good band when my wife asks, “Who was that?” after each song on the album. I think that she thinks it’s Sea Wolf each time, bu...

• Portugal. The Man

  Posted on Thursday February 7th, 2008 at 10:38 in indie music, downloads, bands, indie rock, portugal. the man, indie electronic, indie beats

  Portugal. The Man is absolutely worthy of mention on this or any other Indie music blog. These guys are from Alaska and I was curious to know whether or not any other bands I know of are from Alaska. A quick query on Google for list of bands from Al...

  So if you have been paying attention to my Last.fm profile, you would have seen this post coming. Every once in a while, I get on a Sigur Rós kick and I just let myself get lost in their music for a few days. Hailing from the nordic northlands of I...
