Artist: Everything Is Made In China
Title: Automatic Movements
Label: Self Released
Genre: Rock/Pop
Using what is probably the most obvious statement that has ever been uttered as a band name, Everything Is Made In China traverses the continents to bring their newest album to the United States shores. Being from Moscow, Russia raises an eyebrow to the listener of even the most obscure indie rock music, and this band brings everything to the table as they want a piece of the listener...

While most bands would have conceded defeat and the band members would have left to pursue other projects, Spoon persevered and not only made one of the top albums of 2007, they were all over the radio and television with some of the catchiest tunes of the decade from their album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.

Artist: Asylum Street Spankers
Title: God’s Favorite Band
Label: Yellow Dog Records
Genre: Folk/Gospel
When a band calls itself a postmodern gospel band, there are things that come to mind that are not exactly endearing. Jug band usually indicates a kind of folksy twang that is reminiscent of Deliverance and gospel usually excludes most listeners to music in general as somewhat sentimental and hokey, but upon just one listen to God’s Favorite Band breaks all preconceived ideas.

Taylor Kirk brings us yet another folk reminder of our pop blues from the past with his band Timber Timbre.

Artist: Exeter
Title: Grey Noise, White Lies
Label: Popup Records, Engineer Records
Genre: Rock/Pop
Giving a band a genre title like Space Rock seems a bit misplaced on Exeter. On their debut Grey Noise, White Lies, the band does nothing to indicate that they are about to take off into the stratosphere and take over the vastness of space with their music. What they do produce in these eleven tracks is a sense of rock and roll that is misplaced with a name.
