1. MisterWives
MisterWives has an infectious sound that I highly recommend listening to on your way to class on a Friday morning (tried and tested).
Songs I recommend: “Reflections,” “Our Own House”
2. The Colourist
Hailing from California, the Colourist’s debut album, The Colourist, is comprised of fun, upbeat songs and indie ballads.
Songs I recommend: “Fix This,” “Little Games”
3. Magic Man
Magic Man has toured with bands such as Walk the Moon, Panic! At the Disco, and New Politics (so you know they’re great).
Songs I recommend: “Paris,” “Texas”
4. The Wombats
Going to one of their shows feels like you’re in a grungy venue in London – in the best way possible.
Songs I recommend: “1996,” “Give Me A Try,” “Let’s Dance to Joy Division”
5. Arctic Monkeys
Arctic Monkeys has been around for quite some time now, but recently has exploded in the alternative world. Their newest album, AM, is more rock, but makes you want to head bang in the most graceful way.
Songs I recommend: “Knee Socks,” “R U Mine?”
6. Pacific Air
This is the kind of band you listen to in the summer while you’re driving around late at night (or any other season).
Songs I recommend: “Float,” “Move”
7. Matt and Kim
Maybe I’m biased, but they are absolutely amazing. This duo has an electronic sound that makes you want to shimmy in your seat. Fun Fact: They met each other at the Pratt Institute and have been dating every since.
Songs I recommend: “Good For Great,” “Get It,” “Can You Blame Me,” “Block after Block”
