NOTABLES:
- PICK OF THE WEEK: Drummer - Diamonds to Shake (Side project of Patrick Carney, drummer for the Black Keys, which is comprised of other drummers from bands around Ohio. Carney plays bass on the track and it is one of the best songs I've heard this year. Indie rock/Shoegaze combination makes for a very mellow yet impressive debut for the band. Check out the song on their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/drummertheband
- Wavves - No Hope Kids (Solo project from a 22-year old San Dieogan who is making quite a stir on a lot of the music websites around the web. Drawing comparisons to No Age and Sonic Youth among others, it is a bit of noise, a bit of lo-fi, a bit of rock, a bit of everything and then some.)
- Spanish Armada - Hotel by the Sea (Sweeping song that starts off slow building to a prolonged but not too long ending. Elements of Grandaddy, The Annuals and other rock/ambient bands of the past 5 or so years.)
