There's loads but know that I'm missing a few key one's...... Band Of Horses Yesan Damen The Adored Shapes And Sizes The Weepies Jenny Lewis The Spinto Band The Cairo Gang Roman Candle Candy Bars Howlin Rain Margot & the Nuclear So And So's Beirut Joan As Police Woman Grizzly Bear

if you like MBV, M83, Channel 1 etc these NYC guys are playing Dublin at the end of September, album is fu@king class, download the first track here... www.myspace.com/soundpool

hmmm pretty cool - quite a houwge ride/jesus and mary chain tinged electro vibe going on there

I've only even heard of 5 off that list, Gar, and only actually heard 4(Band of Horses and Spintos are great). Who are the rest? But, anyway... I love you but I've chosen darkness Giant Drag

here's one volcano! - beautiful seizure ...possibly one of the best albums ever recorded (ok, maybe an exaggeration)... three guys from chicago on the leaf label - part noise, part indie, part electronic - f**ked up completely - never heard an album title so aptly describing the music within... seriously lads, go check them out... 'apple or a gun' was the single and most accesible track, though by no means the best

thanks all. Will check out Volcano! for sure

spinto band have several albums

But 'Nice And Nicely Done' was launched as their debut album this year. Maybe their earlier stuff will get re-released in the coming months.

launch is a good music industry word. it's still not their debut
