I’m assuming most music lovers will have a list of bands/artists that they totally believe in but aren’t that big or well known. I’m no different.
So with that said, here are five bands i feel everyone should be listening to. Hopefully the other members of the 405 will post their lists too!
The Most Serene Republic

Challenging, progressive and ultimately fulfilling music. Each one of their albums could easily make my all-time top 10 albums list. Check out the Phages Ep.

Anathallo

Featuring a million members, this band are just incredible. Similar to TMSR but way more joyous. Get your hands on Floating World.

Limbeck

I won’t lie. I love Americana and this band do just that. Perfect for any road trip, please check out Hi, Everything’s Great.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

Your life isn’t complete until you’ve heard this band. Think Beatles style pop with a more contemporary twist. New album Pershing is beautiful.

Maritime

Featuring ex members of The Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan, Maritime creates melodic indie so great, that even The Cure would enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by a cold sweat, Oliver. This is a great blog. I’m at one of those points where I need to find a few new bands to listen to, so I’m gonna take a chance on one of your recommendations — downloaded Pershing by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin a few minutes ago…
