WatchBon Iver - “Beth/Rest” (live on SNL) //
For their second song of the evening, Bon Iver busted out “Best/Rest” in all its synth and saxophone glory. Savor this now because the band will not be performing at the Grammy Awards.

For the last few years indie pop/rock has been dominated by keyboards, synth and a bunch of innovative recording techniques. However, Spain’s Wilhelm and the Dancing Animals have decided start fresh, back to basics infused with acoustic spanish style guitar riffs and simple upbeat percussion. Can you say refreshing? I know I...

Brick + Mortar - Heat Stroke EP
Try not to smile while you’re listening to this EP. It’s literally impossible. Upbeat indie rock is hard to come by, but Brick + Mortar have nailed it especially with the first track “Heat Stroke.”
This two piece brings uniquely lovable vocals back by a strong drum beat and jangly guitar. Sometime simplicity is best. Happy Listening!
