Yeah From 405 writer, Daniel Hobden Indie's natural home is the American college rock of the early '90s. The Loon , Tapes 'n Tapes debut, and still their best record, bears all the marks of a classic from that era: a wonderful lo-fi sounding album with whip-smart lyrics. Like CYHSY, they made it seem so easy. An oldie, but a classic! **** Request: A melodic metalcore or hardcore band From 405 writer, Samuel Frodus. Can't go wrong with them. Start with The Earth isn't humming and work your way around. Cool bass, right? Well, other songs are harder, others more melodic spacey. Thrice played a cover of this song in their Magnum Opus, The Alchemy Index. Check that quadruple EP too, it has all genres! **** Request: French Electro From 405 writer, Barnabas Brodinski is a French Electro artist definitely worth checking out. Just the right mix of French Electro heritage, and yet still something pretty fresh worth giving a listen to. Also, whilst researching your request, you may have already seen this, but stumbled across this (see below). Definitely more samples than straight up electro, but definitely worth keeping an eye on that guy as well.
