I love this song and video for Airship’s “Kids.” This band is officially on my radar.

Frenchkiss is probably the hottest small indie label right now. After delivering us records from Passion Pit, Local Natives, The Dodos, and The Antlers it seems like they can do no wrong. Again, they deliver with 1,2,3. You can preorder the new 1,2,3 record here.

Hooray For Earth’s video for “True Loves” is one of the most interesting and unique music videos I’ve seen in a while. The music isn’t bad either. The “True Loves” LP hits stores on June 7th.

When I first heard the new Battles material, I was super disappointed as it’s incredibly different than their older material. But then they released this video for “Ice Cream,” and now I’m really into it, regardless of their completely new sound.

Titus Andronicus is one of the more exciting bands around right now. I grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania, and this video of them touring New Jersey takes me back to my teenage years.

The video for “MindKilla” is a bit hard to watch, but I’m really excited about this new Gang Gang Dance album.

I’m consistently surprised that Stars is not a bigger band than they are. It’s not that they’re unknown, but they’ve just never quite got the recognition that many of their Canadian peers have. Regardless, this is one of the most well done music videos I’ve seen in a while.

Here’s a new band that I’m really digging. I hope the singer recovers from his cancer quickly.

I might be biased because I worked them for a few years, but I really think 2011 will be Wallpaper.’s year.

NewVillager’s “LightHouse” video from their 2011 self-titled debut via IAMSOUND. I have to say, whoever designed these costumes is amazing because they are fantastic, especially considering the common items they were put together with.
