The first of many.

So I should probably start by introducing myself...however, I think that will wait for another post. I, as my name implies, want to get right down to the music.

Think of this blog as a starting block. A place to explore an alternative to the badly executed R&B, Rap, Pop, and Country-driven musical culture half the US subscribes to. I'll feature 1 (or possibly 2) bands or artists that are either unsigned or on an independent (read: small) label, and give you my personal opinions about why they could be the "next big thing". So let's get to it, shall we?

My pick today?

The Perishers

This indie band from Umea, Sweden has already been featured on The OC, One Tree Hill, and Veronica Mars, and their particular brand of ambient, folky pop is appealing in a very understated way. If you don't believe me, listen to their single "Sway" 3 or 4 times. It's insidiously infectious.
