• BLOC PARTY – Four
• PROJECT 86 – Wait for the Siren
• YEASAYER – Fragrant World
• THE DARKNESS – Hot Cakes
• I WAS TOTALLY DESTROYING – Vexations
• JR. JUGGERNAUT – Wake

- This might be the only time where PROJECT 86 will be mentioned in the same brief list as THE DARKNESS. No matter, “Hot Cakes” is entirely awesome and well founded in supporting the band’s return to full-time status. The other must listen on here is the brand new full-length from JR. JUGGERNAUT (Paper + Plastick). One of the best blends of harder-nosed indie rock and alt-country you’ll ever hear, and highly recommended for any fan of BAND OR HORSES.
