Hi Guys, I have some news. I've decided to upgrade my blog. So from now on, I won't be using wordpress. The new link to my site is here. I think the site looks a little nicer. I think you guys will enjoy the new indietoday.net.
The Radio Dept. has a new song for us. The single won't be released until March 24, but I have the song for you now. They're not going to let you down at all with this one. The vocal intro that talks about what big business is doing to the music industry [...]
If you haven't heard yet, Jónsi from Sigur Ros will be releasing a solo album on April 6. He's released one song as a teaser. He seems to have continued with up-tempo songs where he left off on the latest Sigur Ros album. Jónsi just released a new video for the song [...]
Matinee Records has blitzed us early this year with several releases. The Electric Pop Group is the next in line, with their album "Seconds", for an impressive release from this label that seems to pull talent from all over the globe. These guys are from Sweden and don't disappoint the reputation the Swedes [...]
I haven't done a post about a band in the alternative country-esque arena in a while. Today I will with this Australia band by the name of Dead Letter Chorus. Gabrielle Huber, the female vocals, reminds me quite a bit of Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley. But the thing that excites me [...]
I know, I'm a little late posting about these guys. I did that on purpose, really. When I listened to the album the first time, I was very impressed so I decided to give the album several listens before posting. I wanted to treat it right since I'm such a fan. [...]
Elliot, the main writer for Satellite Crush moved from Ohio to London after graduating an art school. In London he saved every penny to get by and to write songs. Eventually he decided to move back to the United States to get away from the loneliness that came from living in England, so [...]
Here's a new band from London that's starting to get quite a bit of buzz in their homeland. This five piece band, known as Chapel Club, doesn't have a lot of music out in the world yet. Their dark pop fits in the likes of Editors or Interpol. Right now their [...]
Smoosh has released a new song for us. Have you heard of Smoosh yet? I hope so. They're two sisters, one on drums the other on piano, that are about to release their third album and still aren't aloud to go to 18 plus aged concerts. Crazy right? They were [...]
Matinee Records has started the year running on all cylinders when they put out their 50th release, "The Matinee Grand Prix". It's a proper record label compilation, showing off all the talent packed into this indie label. If you're not too familiar with Matinee Records yet, then you should buy this album. [...]

JJ is one of my favorite new bands. They released their debut album last year and will be releasing their second album in March. Until then, they have surprised us with two new songs. Some more exciting news from the band, they released their album on white vinyl. Here's the link [...]
Eels have done it again and will be releasing his eighth album on January 19. I was really surprised to hear this when he just released an album last summer. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the album a little early. Over the years, I haven't been a very [...]
Well, I figured with the new year I'd change the layout of my blog a little. I hope you dig it. Along with that, here are some cover songs for you to enjoy. 10,000 Maniacs - Everyday is Like Sunday James - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful [...]
Bad Panda Records has released a new song from one of my favorite bands right now, Barzin. I think everyone knows my opinion on this band by now. I'm not going to go into it again. They're awesome. That's all you need to know. Barzin - It's Come to This Their Myspace Their Website Bad [...]
It's time for me to go over my favorite songs for 2009. This list is so awesome it doesn't end at ten. This one goes to eleven. Again, I'm not doing a best of list. These are songs that I had been obsessed with when it was released. The songs [...]
Alright, we've finally made it to my last favorite album. When these twenty year olds came onto the scene, I knew almost instantly they'd be on some sort of end of the year list. The XX has a minimalist, gothic sound throughout the album with clever lyrics. I'm impressed that a lot [...]
The Rural Alberta Advantage released their first album, "Hometowns", this year and it's probably one of the most overlooked albums in the blogosphere. This album has really impressed me. It has just about everything you'll want in a great album; great hooks, a good singer, and excellent lyrics. Then what's even more [...]
Alright, I only have three more albums to talk about. I mentioned before that I'm not working my way up to an ultimate best album of the year. However, I have left the last three albums for my all time favorites of the year. It's been hard waiting to talk about them [...]
This band came on the indie scene this year with a lot of mystery behind the band. I've been listening to this album so much and I still know almost nothing about the band. I think it's a two piece band and I'm pretty sure they're from Sweden. Besides that, I'm at [...]
