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.

Kid Cudi
Man on the Moon: The End of Day is the conceptual debut album by Cleveland alternative hip hop artist Kid Cudi.
Cobra Starship
Cobra Starship is an American synth pop band. Gabe Saporta (lead singer) was in the desert, contemplating his existence, when a cobra bit him on the neck. You're thinking: Yeah right. If a cobra bit his neck he'd be dead. But that's what happened. That moment, in the desert, while Gabe was clutching his neck in pain, hallucinating that the snake was schooling him on the dancefloor, was the inception of Cobra Starship. Not exactly the most conventional way to form a band.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
In summer 2007, Lars met up with former band mate and singer Mette to play her some demos. She went home with a CD and returned the day after with lots of ideas of her own. The pair immediately set to work, spending last summer practically living, recording, eating, composing and sleeping in Lars’s self-built studio in his one room flat in Copenhagen. Every night after a hard day’s work, they would end up drunk on Lars’s balcony until early morning.
Their music was heard by Apple Chairman, Steve Jobs who personally selected their track "Around The Bend" to be used in an iPod touch commercial. The band has also recorded an iTunes exclusive Live session EP in New York.
