Recommend Your Favorite Undiscovered BandRecommend Your Favorite Undiscovered Band

I've been busy working in NYC the past week so posting is a bit light. So let's turn to YOU. Time and Spin named "You" the person/artist of the year, so how can I compete?

What music are you listening to right now that you really, really, really dig? Don't overwhelm me, just one or two bands I should definitely check out (that aren't over-hyped).

I'm listening/lovvving Dodobird right now, but they'll get their own post soon enough..
