Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Cant See Land

Sound of the Week

Frightened Rabbit started as an Indie-Rock solo act in 2003 in Scotland. Eventually, Scott Hutchinson added more members to his band, starting with his brother Grant in 2004. By 2006, the band was fully-formed, as it is today, with 5 members. Their first US show was at SXSW in 2007, increasing their popularity over here. Their third album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, was released earlier this year. They are known for their wildly energetic live shows.

Fun Facts:

• Their TV debut was on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in May 2010.
• Frightened Rabbit was chosen personally by Belle & Sebastian to perform at their 2nd annual Bowlie Weekender Festival.
• Sonically, they are lush, uplifting pop.
• Similar-sounding bands include The Vaselines, The National, and The Clean.
• In November 2008 the band opened for Death Cab For Cutie.

Amazing Baby - Headdress

Sound of the Week

Amazing Baby

Amazing Baby was formed in Brooklyn in 2008. Their debut album was 2009's Rewild, from which this video was made. I would classify their music as indie-psych-rock, and it is heavily guitar-driven. The mainstays of the band are Will Roan (vocals) and Simon O'Connor (guitar). They will be touring America for the first time very soon, so watch for them.

Fun Facts

• They toured the UK with MGMT, with whom they also attended college at Wesleyan University, a liberal arts school in Connecticut.
• I would compare their sound to MGMT and Love, other bands that dreamy and anthemic.
• The rest of the band is made up of a dozen or more rotating friends of the Roan and O'Connor.
• Months before the band was signed, they were featured on Jonesy's Jukebox, a radio show hosted by Steve Jones, guitarist for the Sex Pistols.

MALE BONDING - YEARS NOT LONG

Sound of the Week

Male Bonding

This three-man indie-rock band hails from Dalston, UK, and has been making hazy, lo-fi fuzz rock for 2 years. Their first full-legnth studio release Nothing Hurts came out this May. The only current bands out there I would sonically compare them to are the Dum Dum Girls and Surfer Blood. All of their songs are short and full of hooks, and, oh yeah, they Explode!

Fun Facts

• Their first live show was a house party in 2008 called "Rage!"
• Members are Robin Christian (Drums), John Webb (Guitar, Vocals) and Kevin Hendrick (Bass, Vocals)
• In Christian's "Festival Survival Kit" are pajamas and acid.
• They have toured with Vivian Girls, No Age and Wavves.
• Other songs to check out are T.U.F.F. and Nothing Remains.
• All hold full-time jobs. As Christian explains it: "There really isn't any money in music at the level we're at."

Broken Social Scene - Lover's Spit

'World Sick' by Broken Social Scene on Q TV

Sound of the Week

This Canadian indie-rock collaborative has been making music since 2002. Their latest, Forgiveness Rock Record, was released this May. The lead single, World Sick, is lushy and dreamy, reminiscent of 2003's You Forgot It In People.

Fun Facts

• The band started in Canada in 2002 with two members, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. Realizing they would need more members to tour, the band now fluctuates with anywhere from 6 - 19 members at any one time.


• Before settling on vocalist Lisa Lobsinger in 2005, the band featured Emily Haines (Metric), and Leslie Feist (Feist).


• Many of their songs feature horns, woodwinds, and violins.


• Their 3rd studio album, You Forgot It In People, won the 2003 Juno (Canadian Grammys) for Best Alternative Album.

Sound of the Week

Tame Impala

Tame Impala is a three-piece indie band from Perth, Australia. The genre? I will describe it as psychadelica, hypno-groove, beat-poet-ish fuzz-rock. You? Their debut LP Innerspeaker, which seems to be about love and loss, was released this May and was mixed by Flaming Lips collaborator Dave Fridmann.

Fun Facts

• Band Members: Kevin Parker (vocals, Lead Guitar), Dom Simper (Bass Guitar) and Jay Watson (Drums, Backing vocals).


• The band counts among it's influences Massive Attack, Beck and The Doors.


• They will be performing thier first US tour this summer with MGMT.
