The Saturday Knights
DJ Suspence uses the catchiest rhythms you've heard, weaving them through crisp bursts of surf guitar and classic rock. Rhyme-swappers Tilson and Barfly's superb storytelling address twisted every-day-yet-subterranean subject matter, laid out in sweet barbershop harmonies. It's easy to understand why this band is a crucial part of the always vital Seattle music scene.
The Uglysuit
The comfort and ease of The Uglysuit is evident in the direction each song takes. Some start as one thing and end as something completely different, but in a way that fits together perfectly. Nothing is sacrificed and everything makes sense. The Uglysuit's music is an extended love song to the notion that everything is possible, yet nothing is guaranteed.
Sunny Day Sets Fire
Sunny Day Sets Fire hail from all corners of the globe - Mauro (Italy) Onyee (Hong Kong), Max (Italy), Ed (UK), Matthew (Canada). Their music reflects from a pool of wide ranging influences and runs somewhere on the plain of epic psychedelic pop. With Summer Palace, they offer listeners an extention of their pop hybrid in the vein of The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips and Architecture in Helsinki.
