Beat Connection - In The Water

What an absolute gem of an indie band. The Electro-Duo from America's debut album "Surf Noir" is already finding it's place in the indie scene. Their sound goes hand in hand with summer and dancing, listen to these guys whenever you're feeling down and it will perk you right up. This has to be one of my favourite releases of 2011 so far. Let's make these guys big! I expect great things from these guys.

Beaty Heart - "Drum Trio"

These guys are all about the rhythm and beats. If you're wondering how I came to that conclusion, well, 3 of the 4 band members play drums. I think "trippy drum machines" sums up this band nicely. So if you're looking for something a little out of the way, and a little experimental, give these guys a listen. They're little unknown right now, it's people like you who will decide their fate.

The Residents - Constantinople

Where to begin?
For those who have never heard of "The Residents" (and I wouldn't suprised) they are the epitome of avant-garde insanity, a "group" of anonymous musicians and chaos-causers that live to make trippy beats and mind-bending videos. These guys don't conform to the normal and they want you to know that. Sigh, well I've really run out of words, just watch the video and have your head explode.

Jai Paul - BTSTU

Opinions
Jail Paul is another rising star on the Indie scene. Recently signed to XL recordings, he's sure to make it big. His soft, whispering hypnotic tune "BTSTU" has hit it big already with indie lovers. So check out this raw fresh tune before mainstream beats it to death.

Hello! And welcome, heres my first tune.

Discovering these guys was a joy, they possess a raw independent sound that I can't help but love. I found them through searching the "Rockness" fesitval line-up in the recently added section, though they aren't big now, I expect them to boom in popularity after they play the festival. And I encourage you to watch the video too, it's perfectly artistic (I hope I'm not coming off as too pretentious!)

Turns out they're native Irishman, really into mixing up sounds for the hell of it. What's not to love?
