New, new, new band recently formed.  This is their first, and highly enjoyable, demo track.

This definitely qualifies as the best band name I’ve heard in ages!

This was a nice surprise find!  I don’t run across a lot of indie hip-hop and this UK band really hits it.

This Toronto based group is full-on, eclectic energy

I always like a band that brings a twist.  This six-piece is mixing some interesting alt-rock noise!

Hard-edged sounds emanating from the depths

Sounds like:  The kind of hurt that leaves you lost and confused
