therapture

song: "echoes"

song: "don gon do it"

song: "how deep is your love"

meet the rapture. a super funky-postpunk band originally formed in 1998 out of san francisco, and now currently based in new york. if their tunes don't make you want to dance, then you mustn't have a soul. their fourth album was released earlier this fall following a five year hiatus during which the lead singer, luke jenner, attended church regularly and sang in its choir. jenner's ecclesiastical experiences influenced his songwriting and such songs as the first single “how deep is your love?” (see song listed above) were his interpretation of gospel music. to read more on the rapture, visit this sweet awesome site.

oberhofer

song: "away FRM you"

song: "i could go"

"Up-and-coming lo-fi pop songsmith Brad Oberhofer is not even drinking age, but he’s already been earningquite a reputation in the indie-rock circuit. Seriously his biggest single “Away FRM U” was nearly unavoidable last year. From the “Ooh Ooh’s” to the whistling hooks there’s a lot about it to love."

rumspringa

song: "trickle and change"

song: "shake 'em loose tonight"



meet rumspringa, a new rock-n-roll/blues band that formed in 2006 and based out of los angeles, california. originally formed with only 2 members, as of 2010 the duo has now shifted to a 5-man band, including a new drummer. interestingly enough, their band name comes from the amish rhetorical term of "re-birth" and "exploration."

MTV news has called rumspringa, "one of the best LA bands in a really long time." and others have commented on them saying that their "running feverish, fast paced rock-n-roll trails in our head." with an abundance of original melodies, fantastic and genius lyrics, and solid musicianship, it's very clear that this band is going to be making it big, and going somewhere. to read more reviews on rumspringa, check out owlandbear.
