Morrissey on Young The Giant YOUNG THE GIANT Having suffered with relish so much yes-but-no new music, I could break down with happiness at the new - debut - CD by Young The Giant. I will be kneeling with gratitude on a hardwood floor for many years to come. It is the whole thing ... it is the perfect tone ... and Sameer's voice is unbreakable.

Always been a big fan of Rihanna, she has great style and always great music to dance to while drunk at a club.

Butterfly Explosion are a band from Ireland that blend powerful spiraling music with delicate vocals to form rich soundscapes of beautiful melodies, gliding between moments of ethereal dreampop and explosive sonic bliss.

Christina Aguilera is FAR from indie, however that might be changing. In my search for music, I stumbled upon 3 samples that are music from her upcoming CD. This is not the "Ain't no other man" stuff you've heard and been annoyed at on the radio, this is far removed from the synth and pop that pop music has today. - It has more in common with most indie music than it does pop music!

Drew Danburry just released his new album on February 9th, meaning it's in stores now! Drew works hard at promoting his music, and he's definitely worth supporting. I'm a fan of supporting musicians who aren't raking in $$$ due to corporate sellout and big sponsorships, because the little guys make good music too!

Chromeo is a Montreal based electrofunk duo composed of P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel) on keyboards, synthesizers, and talk box, and Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) on guitar and lead vocals.

I've been a fan of the band since their single "All Over You" came out on their last cd "No Really, I'm Fine."  After listening to the EP, I definitely like the track "Don't Let Your Enemies Become Friends" the best. It's got the right hooks and clever lyrics to blow up on the radio, and I hope it

Rising triumphantly from the hollowed indie rock grounds of San Diego comes LANTERNS.

In This Light and On This Evening is the third studio album from British band Editors. It was released on 12 October 2009. This track is a remix of what will be the 2nd single from the album.
