The Happy Bullets
(Dallas, TX) ~ psych-pop explosion

Known for their quirky energetic live shows, the Happy Bullets fuse their modern take on 60’s pop psychedelia.

Their debut record "The Vice and Virtue Ministry," was recorded over several months with Stuart Sikes (Modest Mouse, The Walkmen, White Stripes, etc…) and was just named one of the Top 10 releases of 2004 by the Dallas Observer.

RIYL: Modest Mouse, Belle and Sebastian, The Decemberists

Landing Gear
(Minneapolis, MN) ~ mood-pop

Landing Gear's debut long-player, "break up songs for relationships that never happened" is a stunning mixture of moody guitar textures, rock-n-roll exuberance, and acoustic nuance. Focusing on strong melodies and song craft- the band provides a hefty dose of pop sensibility coupled with swirling atmospherics and raw emotion. The record charted in CMJ 200 almost immediately after it's release, and you may have also heard the band on the WB.

T-Minus Band
(Birmingham, AL) ~ d.i.y. indie-pop

Former Kilgore Trout front man Troy T is making some of the most unique indie pop-rock out there. “I’ve heard I sound like just about everyone,” Troy replies after I toss out the name Super Furry Animals. He also sounds a little bit like R.E.M.— in fact, he lived for a short while in Athens, Ga., home of the popular quartet. And speaking of bands from Athens, maybe he sounds a little bit like Olivia Tremor Control. However, he could just as easily be described as Pink Floyd by way of the Flaming Lips.

The Swayback
(Denver, CO) ~ indie instinct-rock

Songs that drool art and sex, slatheredup on instinctual outsider world-views have propelled the Swayback to virtually every critic's "Best of" list. Theirs is a dark poetry that lets the listener’s gravity release and drift to sultry dream scape, where shadows bare harbor fruits.

“Watching Eric Halborg, bassist and vocalist, front his band is like watching a lion preen after the kill."
-- Rick Baca, Denver Post

Hot Strings
(Pagosa Springs, CO)~ americana/bluegrass

Blazing onto the Newgrass/Jamband circuit, with original material, the Hot Strings are the hottest young acoustic band the West has to offer!

2000 National Mandolin champ Josiah Payne leads this quartet of phenominal young pickers! Telluride band contest winners! They Roots, they Rock, they Raggae!!

Six Mile Grove
(Minneapolis, MN)
~ americana/roots

"These guys are the real deal."
-- Jeff Hanna, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Pop, folk, alt-country and rock fully charge the battery of Six Mile Grove, 100%, from-the-heart, dyed-in-the-wool honest pickers, grinners, and sometimes weepers.

"Six Mile Grove is probably the best thing to come along in the music business for quite awhile."
-- Bob Wootton (Johnny Cash)

Jason Daniello
and the Argonauts
(Albuquerque, NM) ~
desert roots pop

What one first notices about singer/songwriter Jason Daniello is his nearly ever-present smile and infectiously positive attitude. Scratch that most appealing surface just a little deeper and the true depth and breadth of his talent begins to emerge. And what does Jason himself have to say about his emergence as one of the most renowned singer /songwriters in Albuquerque? "It´s just the ebb and flow of life," he says. "Sometimes you´ve gotta inhale, sometimes you´ve gotta exhale."

Wendy Woo
(Denver, CO) ~ singer-songwriter

Voted the area's best singer-songwriter -musician, Wendy Woo is known for her powerhouse vocals and energetic guitar jams. The Woo Crew's mix of rock and funk originals provides the perfect backdrop to summer in the Rockies. Wendy's won virtually every accolade around... including the Five-Time Winner for Best Singer/Songwriter (Denver's Westword); Best Singer/Songwriter (The Boulder Daily Camera); Best Local Artist (Colorado Daily)...

Holiday and the
Adventure Pop Collective

The colorfully-monikered, San Diego-based ensemble has already won enthusiastic acclaim for its "Adventure Pop" sound, displayed on their indie releases and in stylish live performances. Now, the 13-song "Become" on the enterprising combo's own Adventure Pop label and distributed via Sony BMG is set to introduce a national audience to their eclectic songcraft and ambitious creative vision. The disc is receiving national AAA airplay and college spins. "Sun-Drenched, Country Stained Rock. "... you wonder why these guys aren't on year-end lists." (All Music Guide)

Amber Estate
(Minneapolis, MN) ~ alt-rock

"Dense with vocal harmonies and intricate-yet-accessible hooks, The Amber Estate creates genuinely fresh rock songs, so fresh it’s hard to hear exactly where they might be coming from." --Nick Meyer, Volume One Magazine

inchWORM
(Chicago, IL) ~ indie roots rock

Rootsy indie rock with psychedelic inspiration from the sixties and seventies. Influences include Neil Young, Wilco, The Beatles, Sparklehorse, and Elliott Smith. You may have also caught inchWORM at NXNE, MOBfest and NEMO this year.

Longshore
(Phoenix, AZ) ~ brit pop

The undeniably catchy brit-pop group, Longshore is creating hooks and music that blends the lush sounds of 80's groups like The Cure and The Smiths with the new stylings of pop-rock from todays Oasis and The Killers. 

"Longshore inspires Molly Ringwald-style dance moves because the music is, in the end, a good time."
-- Get Out Magazine

Love Me Destroyer
(Denver, CO) ~ punk rock

Love Me Destroyer has remained to be one of the most respected, and sought after bands in the Denver scene.

Git
(Austin, TX) ~ alt-rock

Currently, the band is in Atlanta, GA writing songs for their upcoming record to be recorded with platinum record producer Chris Grainger (Swithfoot, Sixpence None the Richer). The music? Radio Ready Pop Rock and Roll? Sure... sounds close enough.
