Cursive - Art Is Hard

Album: The Ugly Organ

Year: 2003

Genre: Indie/Rock/Alternative

Cursive is an amazing band, or was anyway. I can’t say their stuff after this album impresses me. Anyway! This song is great, and is also one of their flagship songs. If you have not heard of this band before, then you need to hear this song and then go pick up this album somewhere. Won’t regret it. This album has such great musical composition and lyrics making it a really powerful collection of tracks.

Enjoy!

The Republic Of Wolves - Home

Album: The Cartographer

Year: 2011

Genre: Indie/Rock

This a pretty damn phenomenal band right here. Really top-notch musicianship, superb lyrics, and touches of folk put this band in my top fifteen. These guys are really good, I can’t even really put together the words to really describe them. Oh yeah, their drummer screams occasionally which is a really nice touch. AH. Band is amazing man.

Enjoy!

Blouse - Into Black

Album: S/T

Year:2011

Genre: Dream Pop/Shoegaze/Alternative

I have not heard a really good dream pop artist in a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered Blouse this morning. They have all your normal dream poppy stuff going on, you know like super reverb on the instruments and vocals, but they just have a really, really nice sound that keeps you interested. See, my problem with dream pop is that most are so damn boring it isn’t even funny, but Blouse really hits the spot! Check this track out, won’t regret it!

If you like Dream Pop then check this out for sure, but this can also be for fans of bands like The Cure.

Super swell female artist here. It reminds me of a better, less whiny, and more diverse Adele!
