As you know, I listen to a lot of music — so much, in fact, that I sometimes forget about a particular band or album that stood out until I come across it on my iPod months later. In order to avoid this from continually happening I have decided to start writing about albums I feel deserve your attention, or things that may have flown under the collective radar.

Here are a few bands that you may have missed and a few that you should keep an eye (or ear) out for in the near future:

The Fratellis, Costello Music | website
Poppy Scottish indie rock.

Mezzanine Owls, Slingshot Echoes | website
Shoegazey throwbacks.

The Watermarks, I Will Still Be Wishing (EP) | website
Great electro-pop from Houston.

Enjoy the new music. Let me know what you think. Got any recommendations? Post them in the comments.

More coming your way soon. Be sure to support these artists by buying their music.
