Hey before y'all head out to your mountain tops and discos, I just wanted to bring up some great music from several artists. This is new music Friday with 6 bands you might have not heard of but ya just gotta check'em out. We're bringing back the weekedn iPod (or Zune) feed!

First up we got Brooklyn's The Epochs who will be releasing a self titled debut which is filled with a wide range of influences including this track which fronts a melancholy synthetic with their subtle vocals. Catch'em at the Mercury Lounge, February 12th.
Opposite Sides

LA's Robert Francis will be doing residency at the Silverlake Lounge in February. Grab a friend and head on up to one of his FREE shows to hear some beautiful indie folk. Violins and all of that!
One By One

The Oaks have a full length coming out in early March called Songs For Waiting and we want to help you anticipate this upcoming release. I really appreciate the deeper meaning in these songs which complete the beautiful arrangements of brass, Wurlizter, synths, tambuorines and one of my favs; the acoustic bass.
Masood

The Billie Burke Estate's Andy Liotta is all about styles of Costello, hints of Beatles, with his own touch of piano pop melodies and feely good lyrics. Happy Happy Happy!
Everybody's Gonna Die

Say Hi (former Say Hi To Your Mom) is releasing The Wishes And The Glitch in early February off the Euphobia Records, front runner Eric Elbogen's very own. See how you like the new sound!
Northwestern Girls

This band has 7 band members all under the age of 17. Berkeley's adolescent pop-mega Please Quiet Ourselves has combined some of that punky pop stuff with riffs galore...It's nothin' but fun!
The Light

Have a great weekend and be back here possibly Sunday night for more!
Also if you have some time this weekend, read up on the news. We need to know what's up in the lives of our peers in other places!

Labels: Folk, indie, MIX
