Once again, the stereotype.fm Must Listen is presented by you, the readers. We always love to hear what you’re listening to, so if you’re interested in sharing, let us know. This edition of Must Listen comes from our good friend and indie music enthusiast, Lisa.
The Privates – From Nashville, TN this group sounds as though The Strokes and Tokyo Police Club had a love child. Their new album “Motion” just dropped in April. Listen to tracks “Motion” and “Atrium”
Elizabeth and the Catapult - Local favorites from Brooklyn, I dare you to listen to “Race You” without dancing along. Impossible! Other tracks you might like “Momma’s Boy”. See this band at the Housing Works bookstore on June 24th.
Elizabeth and the Catapult: Race You
Zee Avi – Signed to Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records label, this songstress and ukulele player from Malaysia has an old school vibe that will make you think of summertime. “Bitter Heart” is a great track.
The Weakerthans – Hailing from Canada, The Weakerthans have a sound similar to Ted Leo or Death Cab For Cutie. Listen to tracks “Night Windows” and “Aside”. See them at the Bowery Ballroom on September 18th, eh?
The Weakerthans: Night Windows
Metric – Originally from NYC this band has relocated to Canada. Lead singer Emily Haines and guitarist James Shaw also play with Broken Social Scene and Haines has been a guest on several tracks with another Canadian band, Stars. Listen to “Help I’m Alive”. They rocked out Terminal 5 last night.
