Some Great New Indie, and Some Favorites

Well I've done it, I've stumbled across one of the best Indie Bands I've ever heard. From the looks of it they've just released their second album, and while it's not available on Itunes it was so good I had to download it from their website ($7 for 15 incredible tracks.) They call themselves Corner Street Light and I've got say they sound like a slightly edgier version of Coldplay. Take a listen: http://cornerstreetlight.bandcamp.com/

I'd put Time of Our Lives, Waves and Never Know at the top of my list.

Next up we've got one of my favorite "Jump in the car and blast a song as loudly as you can." Tiger Tears by The Bob Hill Band is.... insanely good? It's catchy, it's loud and it's rambunctious.

+44 titled their album wrong in my opinion -- they showcased one of their worst songs with the title. Luckily, before I dismissed them completely, I heard Make You Smile. It's one of those great songs that don't have that much going on. Just a bit of back and forth, male and female bantering. If you want something a bit on the soothing side here you go.

Right Me Up by State Radio. Once you get to the chorus, you can't help but (try to) sing along. Watch out, your foot may start involuntarily tapping. This song is in a word, extraordinary. It's constantly evolving into something even better then what it was 10 seconds ago.

And now we'll finish up with one of my favorites -- Heart Delay by Years Around the Sun. I couldn't get rid of this song if I tried. I tend to make monthly playlists, with my favorite songs during that month, and this song manages to make it almost every time.
