Artist: Approach
Song: The Jar (Intro)
Approach is just about as gangster as one can be coming straight outta Kansas. On his new album, Approach works with top shelf collaborators like P.O.S. and Mac Lethal, producing hot electro-hop club bangers like “The Jar”.
Artist: Custom Made
Song: 07 I See
Custom Made are a bunch of dudes with funny names. But there’s nothing funny about their music. 07 I See is reminiscent of some of that good old Mobb Deep shit, with tight flows and soulful backing jams, perfect for blasting obnoxiously loud in your car with the windows down in the summer.
07 I See
Artist: HMD
Song: One Pursuit
HMD’s song, “One Pursuit” is an epic cut that would make Kanye jealous. With an ear for classic rock samples and high-energy performance, HMD is bound to rise above many of the more conventional indie rappers in the game today.
Artist: Kaze
Song: Dynasty
A veteran of the battle rap scene, Kaze (pronounced KAH-ZEE) has graduated from being an opening act for Common, G-Unit and Dead Prez to having his own album released on Rawkus in 2007.
Dynasty
Artist: Ben Lee
Song: What Would Jay-Z Do?
Following in the footsteps of fellow singer songwriters in the mold of Ben Folds and John Mayer, Ben Lee is positioned to be one of your girlfriend’s favorite artists this year. But he likes Jay-Z, too, so he’s got that going for him.
What Would Jay-Z Do?
Artist: Gwen Stacy
Song: The Path To Certainty
Hardcore thrash with a message is what screamo band Gwen Stacy brings to the table. Their name is probably a nod to deceased former Spider-Man girlfriend Gwen Stacy, something that may endear the band to all you comic book nerds out there.
Artist: HDR
Song: Wide Open
Grimy, whiskey slamming stoner rockers HDR don’t mess around with that pop shit. This is music to work on your motorcycle or pipe Suicide Girls to. Or both, if you’re one of those multi-tasker types.
Artist: The Helio Sequence
Song: Keep Your Eyes Ahead
The Helio Sequence couldn’t be more indie if they tried. Next time someone asks you for an example of what qualifies as indie rock these days, put on “Keep Your Eyes Ahead” and call it a day.
Artist: The Raveonettes
Song: Dead Sound
The Raveonettes new album, “Lust, Lust, Lust” is like a 1950s throw back, atmospheric, surf guitar meets Morrisey masterpiece. “Dead Sound” is a perfect representation of this, and definitely warrants a listen.
