Anti Flag

Artist: Tulsa
Song title: Mass

On their new album, “I Was Submerged”, TULSA’s songs retain a certain melodic eeriness that could leave one feeling unsettled, were they not so impeccably crafted.

Tulsa

Artist: The Fall Of Troy
Song title: Semi-Fiction

Eschewing the inevitable conventions of genre or scene, THE FALL OF TROY's “Manipulator” is constantly in motion, taking its listener to a brutal place where, despite its dark but staunchly realistic take on human nature, there is a palpable sense of hope and catharsis.

The Fall of Troy

Artist: OK Go

Artist: American Steel
Song title: Sons Of Avarice

The re-activation of Bay Area punk mainstays AMERICAN STEEL, which started as an off-the-cuff idea in early 2007, is now a full-blown reality, as witnessed by their first record in six years, “Destroy Their Future”.

Artist: Aesop Rock
Song title: None Shall Pass

Long Island, New York-born MC, AESOP ROCK has enjoyed a steady and critically-acclaimed rise through the indie hip-hop ranks, culminating in the release earlier this year of the full-length “None Shall Pass” on the Definitive Jux imprint, owned by fellow MC (and collaborator) El-P.

Aesop Rock

Artist: El-P
Song title: Flyentology (Cassettes Won't Listen Remix)

Even upon first listen to EL-P’s latest album, “I'll Sleep When You're Dead”, it's readily apparent that the record - a magnum opus 4 years in the making - represents a culmination of profound musical, personal, and political experiences reaching their tumultuous climax.

EL-P

Artist: Little Brother
Song title: Good Clothes

LITTLE BROTHER first appeared on the hip-hop scene with their 2003 ABB Records release, “The Listening”. The album immediately struck a chord with the rap community, garnering praise from the likes of Pete Rock, The Roots and Jay-Z.
