1. "Cemetery Row" -
The Minus 5
The Minus 5
A bit of alt-country complete with introspective lyrics, as sung by the Decemberists' Colin Meloy.
2. "Funny Little Frog" -
Belle & Sebastian
The Life Pursuit
A bit of indie-pop magic that is sure to wow as B&S sparkles on their latest LP.
3. "When the Sun Goes Down"-
Arctic Monkeys
Whatever People Say I Am
That's What I Am Not
A vibrant piece of alt-rock meets swagger punk, there are only three words that define this band: NEXT BIG THING!
4. "Cash Machine" - Hard-Fi
Cash Machine (EP)
Equal parts brash rock and Scottish style pop rock, Hard-Fi are yet another young group that you're going to need to know.
5. "Old Enough" - Ian Love
Ian Love
The former Rival Schools member attests that sometimes the simple things are the best as he serves up his subtle acoustic style pop.
