Let's see...so while I was in England (funeral, there for 10 days), I had a discussion with a friend about good American bands. She thought there weren't any. At the time I couldn't think of one but I swore I'd grab my ipod and find some. Apparently almost my entire collection of good artists are brits so...I could use some recommendations. We wound up agreeing on The Killers and I have about 3 songs by them on my ipod.
Lately...
Dragonette (Goldfrapp meets Feist. JCPenney crowdsurfing ad. This is how I find new artists. I use adtunes.com.)
Roisin Murphy (torrent site, doesn't exist on US itunes. The song Cristina is dancing to at the beginning of the last new Grey's? I think it's the last one? Great album anyway)
Kaiser Chiefs (last year my local radio station played Ruby and people complained. WTF is wrong with people?)
Kate Nash
Lily Allen
Sia-do yourself a favour, download Breathe Me if nothing else. Though the entire new album is amazing.
I hate to do this because it kinda helps out my ex, but I've discovered some fantastic bands through
http://www.ourstage.com/. OTOH it also helps out my brother because he also works for the website so...
I'm in love with Action Painters, they're brilliant.
Plushgun rule.
And finally Beehive.
I'd say Joseph Arthur but...not too new to me. But he's amazing, so if you don't know him, go listen now.
