What are you listening to?

Since it’s a no-news Friday afternoon and all us Buzzgrinder contributors are either lazy or cursed with a weekend at the in-laws who only have dial-up (double whammy!), how about let’s play a game!

I’ve been in discovery mode all week and am more stoked than usual about a lot of new music out lately. Tell us about a favorite artist or two you like right now that you don’t think most people here know about. For bonus points, link to where we can check them out.

I’ll start: a little folky lo-fi band called Fredrik and the 90s throwback alt. rock band Cage the Elephant.

Fredrik – Black Fur
Cage the Elephant – Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked

Now it’s your turn. Ready, go!

    Not a favorite, per se, but good nonetheless.

    I’m totally into a band from Los Angeles called The Henry Clay People. It’s like a post-rock band singing Tom Petty songs: http://www.myspace.com/thehenryclaypeople

    Also, check out Ft. Wayne, IN’s Metavari. They just signed to Crossroads of America Records: http://www.myspace.com/metavari

    Samantha Crain & the Midnight Shivers
    Telekinesis!

    Chris, I’m feeling that Fell Silent. I checked them out before but I didn’t pay attention because I was multitasking and didn’t return to it. They have such a weird vibe to them, but it makes sense that they’re on Sumerian. Awesome.

    Caleb A. Hensley:
    http://www.myspace.com/disappointedhusbandband

    A local Denton, TX metal guy playing folky stuff. These are demos for his upcoming album which should be awesome. My favorite is ‘Healing Hands’.

    I love this track by Joseph Childress called ‘Chariots,’ but it’s not really available anywhere, except random appearances on my pandora station.
