THE WHIGS.

Hailing from Athens, Georgia, The Whigs are a three piece rock and roll carnival ride that you can’t ride once. Mixing soaring guitar riffs, dirty garage rock and foot tapping melodies, The Whigs will sooth your sweet tooth and have you begging for more. With their new album “In The Dark” on Dave Matthew’s ATO Records, and an upcoming appearance on David Letterman, The Whigs will consistently be in your living rooms, stereos and in your head. Hanging out in your garage will never be the same again.

SPEECH DEBELLE.
http://www.myspace.com/speechdebellemusic
The UK’s Speech Debelle is a unique poet. Her infectious hip hop vocals mixed with a funky drumbeat bring you a sound that you’d find in a coffee shop on steroids. Speech Debelle’s sound ranges from rap to reggae to rhythm and blues and uses real instruments including horns, acoustic guitars and a drum kit to back up her honest message. This is no Gangster rap, just pure hip hop from the soul.
SIMILAR ARTISTS – The Streets, Amanda Blank, Roots Manuva
GIRLS.
http://www.myspace.com/girls
San Francisco’s GIRLS take the sounds of 60’s rock and play them through a wall of reverb, distortion and heartache. If you froze Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys and de thawed them in 2010 you may have something similar. While some of their guitar sounds are cleaner than after school programming, they can also render them dirtier than late night on Cinemax. Like the Stray Cats on downers, the group is surfy, spacey and catchy. Girls are who you want to bring home to mother.
SIMILAR ARTISTS – The Beach Boys, The Zombies, Elvis Costello
