Up-and-coming garage-rockers LA Font just unveiled their latest video for the song "Sharks," cut from their most recent EP by the same name from Sister City Records.

London indie-rockers Yuck have resurfaced with a new single, "Chew". Whether or not the track is attached to an album remains to be seen, though it's reassuring to know that the group is still writing and recording. For those who aren't familiar, Yuck's style is unabashedly 90's; their sound and attitude have drawn comparisons to the likes of Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth.

Deep Sea Diver is a Seattle-based indie rock trio, lead by the versitle Jessica Dobson. Dobson made her debut with Atlantic records at the tender age of 19, but both of her solo projects failed to come to fruition. From there she served as the bassist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a guitarist for...
Harlan's music has been called " Prince meets Genesis meets Shuggie Otis". For those of us who speak english, however, most would probably call it "funky" "dancy" "fun" and "poppy". This isn't to say that it's at all simple, though. Harlan has some serious musical chops, and he isn't afraid to...
