The Knife

Here's some more electro throw back from, in my opinion, one of the most unusual bands.

"Got 2 Let U" by The Knife

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

Finally a kick ass answer to those annoying acoustic pussy ass rock bands.

"The Debtor" by Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

Honkeyfinger

One guy...rocking balls.

"Got This Rage" by Honkeyfinger

Free Blood

I've realized I should be mixing in some electro shit...boom boom.

"Quick and Painful" by Free Blood

Sunset Rubdown

Pure raw grit. Some might say noise, I say fucking tits.

"The Courtesan Has Sung" by Sunset Rubdown

Cold War Kids

You gotta love this band belting it out constantly. I especially love listening to the people closest to me sing along, it's awe inspiring.

"Something Is Not Right With Me" by Cold War Kids

Peter Bjorn & John

A descent follow up to that "whistling song" that took everyone 2 years to discover.

"Nothing To Worry About" by Peter Bjorn & John

Alamo Race Track

i was listening to these guys way too much over a year ago, and once in a while you got to throw in stuff you love even if it's not brand spanking new.

"Black Cat John Brown" by Alamo Race Track

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I do love the entire catalog of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I was hesitant at first of the It's Blitz! album but quickly grew on me when watching them play those songs live. I did want to toss in one of those classics that first coaxed me into loving the intense vocals of Karen O. But I have to admit that I do love blasting Zero with the windows rolled down more and more.

"Art Star" by Yeah Yeah Yeah

Sebastien Grainger

Death From Above 1979 might have passed but this will encourage you to belt out the chorus at the top of your lungs anyways.

"American Names" by Sebastien Grainger

Kings of Leon

Alright, I just have to post a Kings of Leon song because it's the greatest annoyance when all you hear is Sex on Fire and everyone and their mother goes nuts. I have an obsession with this band and they couldn't make anything that I didn't love, that is until now. I'm not saying I hate the most recent album but there is something the rest of their albums posses that is lacking in Only by the Night. Maybe they are just too popular now, but take a listen to this song from Youth and Young Manhood and compare.

"Red Morning Light" by Kings of Leon

Lykke Li

I'm extremely picky when it comes to female singers, sorry but it's true. Most of the stuff out there is pure radio pop shit. But once in a while someone comes along that is able to sound a bit askew and it's a huge relief. There's a very compelling characteristic about Lykke Li in both the her voice and how she carries herself. Check out the video as well, it's a great visual to go along with the song.

"Little Bit" by Lykke Li

The Deadly Syndrome

Per my previous post, it spawned the thought of this other great band, of which I was blessed to see both at the amazing Spaceland in Silver Lake. I would highly suggest checking out both bands.

"Eucalyptus" by The Deadly Syndrome

Delta Spirit

One of the most refreshing and uplifting bands I've heard in quite some time. I thoroughly enjoy this song and you should too.

"People, Turn Around" by Delta Spirit

The Kills

One of the greatest guy/girl bands I have ever seen.

"Getting Down" by The Kills
