Quadron

Quadron was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Robin and Coco, a couple of talented musicians formed the band in 2008. Robin creates melodies with lush orchestration and deep beats, intellectual and crisp. Coco layers these with her voluptuous timbre, together completing the sound of Quadron. Five years have passed and Coco's sweet soulful voice now perfectly accents Robin's instrumental skylines. They are lush, lyrical and sophisticated.

"It's rare to come across a full-length release that is stellar from beginning to end.The lush beats from Robin Hannibal and Coco's beautiful vocals make Quadron a winner.With songs that are so full of emotion and life, this one is an instant classic in my book."
Raul Campos (KCRW)

Be Your Own Pet (BYOP)

The band from Nashville, Tennessee formed in 2003. Be Your Own Pet makes music that's as frenzied as it is catchy. Summer Sensation, a collection of Be Your Own Pet's demos and EP tracks, became the band's first widely distributed U.S. release and arrived in spring 2006, just before Adventure was chosen as the lead single from Be Your Own Pet, which was issued that summer. The band returned to the studio in summer 2007, and returned the following spring with Get Awkward, a heavier but still mischievous set of songs inspired by punk, new wave and girl group pop.

The Shins

"The Shins will change your life!" That kind of proclamation is loaded with expectations when it's just one friend talking up a band to another, but it's magnified a thousandfold when Natalie Portman says it in a hit movie.
The Shins were formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but are now based in Portland, Oregon. "Wincing The Night Away" is their third studio album and they take their sound in different directions.

Hockey

New Wave band from Portland, Oregon. They released home-made EP Mind Chaos in 2008.

Local Natives

Band from California with a new breed of energetic, percussion driven indie rock. They're one of those rare bands that have the ability to deliver live. It has been more of a challenge for the group to translate the vibrant and exciting nature of their performances to a recording.

*These are just some of their songs, as soon as i find the debut album ill post it. They are AMAZING.
