real high - fake drugs

Fake Drugs

The band fake drugs has been a favorite for quite a while now. I am totally hooked on their marriage of low fi garage with synth poppy hooks. Hailing from the hipsterest of towns these guys live up to their hometown's cool vibes.

 

one to watch - mr. collins

The Big Up Collective is a group of artists and musicians hailing from Georgia. The group put down firm roots while attending SCAD in Savanah. This multi-disciplinary crew is one of the most talented and creative pockets I have found while on my travels on the interweb.

sam vanallemeersch

 

not too sure what to say about sam vanallemeersch...

I just love whatever weird place he is coming from with these drawings.

The scratchy, scribbly style is what makes his work so unique. Sam must have to put himself into an almost seizure-like state to create these pieces. But seriously though, CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SAM

dubstep infestation

Thanks to all the filthy techno hippies lounging around north america acid tripping from one coachella to another we are now faced with a serious dubstep infestation!!

Thankfully we have some pretty sweet examples of how to flourish in this new musical ecosystem.

the dubstep infection is sweeping the nation

And please if you have your own tips feel free to leave them with a comment below!

Something for errrebody

Yes... I do realize that half these bands aren't *actually* "indie" per-say... so sue me!

Stag, Stag Sans and Stag Rounded

The Stag family of typefaces is one which I only recently discovered, but I knew instantly that I was going to love this here font! (And yes I am continually amazed at what a huuuge nerd I am)

I was thinking about writing a whole spiel about what an amazing typeface this is, but you should know just by lookin, this one here is the real deal.

tomer hanuka

Anselm Kiefer - JerusalemChances are good, that unless you are a total art nerd you probably haven't heard of Anselm Kiefer. His paintings and sculptures are a favorite of mine and personally I see him as one of the most talented abstract painters ever. His materials are unusual, his methods unorthodox; but his work is simply brilliant.

birds of prey

Ladyhawk

I had heard these guys a few times over the past 5 years, and I recently got my hands on their newest disc 'Shots'. This new disc totally blew me away, I am unfortunately a few years to late on the draw with this newest addiction... but what the hey felt like sharing.

why did nickleback get huge when great vancouver bands like ladyhawk go largely uncherished?
