Nicfit
Acoustic guitar, original lyrics, punk influences. Check out the song titled "Dope Fiend".
Deerhoof
I was beginning to doubt it, but creativity is surely alive and well! Highly experimental, but deliciously accessible, Deerhoof is hitting their stride with the new release Offend Maggie. If you know them, you'll notice a richer more folksy vein and Satomi Matsuzaki's vocals, as playful as ever, seem that much refined. Here's an assortment of downloads & streams both new and old.
The Submarines
if youre looking for a bubbly and lively sound this is the perfect band for you. it has a very happy rythym that you can dance to. :) try it out.
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
lo-fi electronic goodness constructed w/ cheap casio keyboards - plain spoken, yet deep lyrics - perfect for that mellow introspective mood
tripEpitoch
A new stoner techno band from the mind of Mason Edwards, a former metal guitarist and vocalist. The tracks vary as far as techno allows, but all have one thing in common: beautiful sounds to narrate the world around, and the world within. Sit back and listen to the universe spin--sit back and watch the universe unfurl beneath the psychedelic prowess of this up-and-coming band.
Port O'brien
fantastic creative energy and passion from this band - shouting harmonies and foot stomping rhythm - you'll hear it most in I Woke Up Today a song that sends me flying around the room like a little child - Close the Lid is another stand out song
Loose Wig
loose • wig (n)
An exceptionally uninhibited performer; a way-out musician. One whose wig has flipped beyond the norm.

Dodos - Live
amazingly creative with acoustic instruments in hand - leaves me dumbfounded - imho the best band alive - here's a video of the concert + interview + mp3 download - thanks so much Amoeba
The Dodos
Stuttering guitars, floating voices, and triumphant drums like the sound of a hot summer evening right before the rain, with katydids nattering, humming birds and bees working the flowers, and the wind is just picking up to rustle the trees. There's a flash of light and a bit of thunder off in the distance.
Deerhoof
delightfully scatterbrained art rock; psychedelic without being hippie/granola; effervescent feminine vocals
