Video artist Martin Arnold: "The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema of exclusion, reduction and denial, a cinema of repression."
Hard Girls
Hard Girls is an indie punk band from San Jose, CA—It's something I wouldn't normally post on here, but it's hard to hide my punk roots. I've had this EP, Hello, for some time now and every time I listen to it I just can't stop. It's hard to find a "new" punk band to listen to these days. They have some real nice rough vocals, with some down right awesome guitar riffs. I read a review that said they sound like Broken Social Scene if they put down their old man sweaters and picked up their skateboards. So if you too want to find a new band that you can listen through on repeat for hours (like I do) then you have to download this.
The Dead People
The Dead People's Withdrawel Shirt was referred to us from our dude over at Ruby Scoops. At first I wasn't too sure what to make of it, but after throwing it on loop in the studio I realized what they're doing is pretty chill—it kinda sounds like if you take some lo-fi punk and throw in some Mars Volta. I'd give it a chance if I were you—maybe even two.

Baths
A good friend recommended Will Wiesenfield's debut as Baths, Cerulean. Great review over at tinymixtapes. Listen on Last.fm. Download here.
Small Black
Small Black is a band from Brooklyn, New York. They're pretty much what Animal Collective would sound like if they weren't trying to be so weird, or if they had a love child with Broken Social Scene. It's a slow electronic beat with a flowing rhythmic voice. Their new LP is called New Chain, and you can get it here.

Glasser
Do you like Karen O? Then you probably going to like this EP I found the other day by a band called Glasser, from what I know its one girl who experiments with loops and layered electronic beats with different acoustic instruments, its a pretty easy lesson and her voice sound like an angel so defiantly check it out.
