Cramming into a van, six best friends from California have come to terms with making the road their new home. In 2009 The Central Coast Pop-Punk outfit known as From The Top set out to conquer the West Coast and ended up reaching further than they ever anticipated.
Don't let the name fool you, Frightened Rabbit are about as sincere and impassioned as they come. Their previous album "The Midnight Organ Fight" topped innumerate best-of -year lists, and the upcoming album is poised to do the same. The band's sinewy instrumentation, which was once raw and organic, has since evolved into a brainy and epic bit of melodic indie-rock.
A Brighton, England based indie label with a Brooklyn, NY subsidiary. Home to a number of up and coming band such as Animal Collective, Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Twilight Sad.
Glasgow is a hotbed of indie-rock talent these days, and We Were Promised Jetpacks sits atop the list of local acts on the verge of international success. The band effortlessly intermixes simple and elegant acoustic melodies with hard-hitting electrics and fits of experimentation. The debut album "These Four Walls" has received rave reviews from nearly every major UK publication. Fans of FatCat label mates Frightened Rabbit will enjoy WWPJ.
Scottish indie band The Xcerts are heading to New York later this month to record their sophomore album with indie-famed producer Mike Sapone (Crime in Stereo, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday). The band's debut full length "In The Cold Wind We Smile" was released early last year and comes highly recommended.
Scottish indie band The Xcerts prefer passion over theatrics, and sincerity over ostentation. The debut full-length "In the Cold Wind We Smile" is an earnest 12 tracks about - however cliched it may sound - life, love, and loss. After receiving great reviews from mainstay UK alternative publications such as Kerrang! and Rocksound, the band will start work on their second record here in the States with Mike Sapone (Crime In Stereo, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday).
Two thousand and nine was a whirlwind year for upcoming Scottish band Twin Atlantic, and 2010 will prove much of the same. After stumbling into some quick success over the last couple of years, the band doesn't seem even to have much time to catch their breath in the upcoming months. The band is booked solid through April with dates throughout Europe after which they'll head to the States to co-headline with Envy on the Coast. The recently released debut mini-album "Vivarium" follows a string of random singles and one EP.
As the new signing to North London indie label Walnut Tree Records, Tiger Please are ready to make their way outside of their small town near Cardiff, Wales. The debut EP "We Don't Change Under Moonlight" is a 12-track mini album filled with smartly crafted melodic pop/rock songs and has garnered the band significant critical acclaim in various UK alt-rock circles. The band plays regularly in Wales, which has included shows with Funeral For A Friend, Twin Atlantic, and Dredg, and occasionally ventures East to London to wow new crowds.
According to their Twitter, Jimmy Eat World has a big announcement coming soon. New label? New anything? Stay tuned. Edit: It's not a new album. They are still writing/recording.
It's not a good story without some drama. So, in the band Gentlemen and Scholars, everybody hates one another. Each day is another episode of on ongoing soap opera, complete with amnesia, love affairs and evil twins.
