Eyedea & Abilities
Before Eyedea & Abilities were an MC/DJ pair, they were Mike Averill and Gregory "Max" Keltgen, two friends from Minneapolis. In 1997, however, while still in high school, the duo began competing in the battle circuit, gaining recognition from high-profile wins at 1999's Scribble Jam and the 2000 HBO-televised Blaze-Battle World Championships, among others. Despite rumors of possible deals with Puff Daddy or Eminem, Eyedea & Abilities chose to sign with fellow Minnesotans Rhymesayers, and released their debut album, First Born, in 2001. Combines the two give you the very best of two opposite ends of Hip Hop's musical spectrum. On one end you have the MC/Lyricist, Eyedea, who has proven himself time and time again, not only as an extraordinary song writer, but also as a master at battling and freestyling. On the other end you have Abilities, the DJ/Producer, whose talent from the battle, to the mixtape, to production has resonated on the underground for quite some time now. When you put these two extremes together, you get the new, innovative and exciting dynamic we like to call E&A. New album out on Rhymesayers.

Educated Consumers
Educated Consumers are composed of SeezMics, a socio-political battle emcee who made noise in D.C.'s underground and freestyle circuit, and producer t.E.C.K. who draws heavily on a style very dedicated to 90's boom-bap. SeezMics has a voice that is golden and works perfectly on every beat, with a cadence similar to Brother Ali and Sage Francis, while the beats constantly have me hooked as the combination of the two work on an almost flawless level. Until now I had never heard of these guys but am honestly impressed...from beginning to end this was a refreshing treat.

Joe Lally (of Fugazi)
Joe Lally has played bass in Fugazi since their inception in 1987. In 2003 the members of Fugazi decided to take an indefinite hiatus from recording and performing. Since that time Joe has continued to write and perform solo material, accompanied by various musicians and friends. Joe's latest album, "Nothing Is Underrated" was recorded in the summer of 2007, also at Dischord House and at Inner Ear Studio, and also with Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara. The album was mixed by Ian and Guy Picciotto and features contributions from a number of artists including Eddie Janny (Rites of Spring), Ian MacKaye (Fugazi), Devin Ocampo (Faraquet/Medications) and Guy Picciotto (Fugazi). Joe has been touring almost non-stop (Europe, USA, Brazil, Japan) since 2006, accompanied by members of Capillary Action, Zu, Melvins, DCIC, Antelope and others. New LP out on Dichord!

Glorytellers (Featuring Geoff Farina of Karate)
Glorytellers are a duo of guitarist/singer/songwriter Geoff Farina (Karate/Secret Stars), drummer Gavin McGarthy (Karate) and guitarist Josh Larue (Him). With the help of drummer Luther Gray III and engineer Andy Hong, Glorytellers make unique sounds influenced by everything from the primal blues of Robert Pete Williams and Geeshie Wiley to the avant-psych of the Raincoats and Spacemen 3.

Young Love
The dance-rock outfit Young Love are headed by Dan Keyes, who served as frontman for the post-grunge band Recover from 2001 to 2004. After releasing three albums with that Austin-based band, Keyes relocated from Texas to New York City in search of a change of pace. Within the span of a year, he had amassed a number of slick, stylish songs that had more in common with Bloc Party and Action Action than the aggressive sounds of Recover

Inner Party System
More dancey rock stuff for the young kids who are starting discover there is more than just emo. From the Philadelphia Area. Island Records.

The Wonder Years
Pop Punk/Hardcore that scream of fun inside and out! For fans of Set Your Goals, New Found Glory, Motion City Soundtrack. Philly.

Tullycraft
Woah! Holy rare live show. Tullycraft was born out of the ashes of two Harriet Records cult bands: Crayon and Wimp Factor 14. Sean Tollefson, Jeff Fell (both of Crayon), and Gary Miklusek (Wimp Factor 14) hooked up in 1995. Soon after, they recorded a batch of songs with Pat Maley at YoYo Studios in Olympia, WA. Out of that first session came the debut single on Harriet Records and an instant indie pop classic - "Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend's too Stupid to Know About". In 1996 they released their full length debut "Old Traditions, New Standards" on Harriet Records. hey then cemented their cult status by endless touring all over the United States, playing everywhere from house shows to universities, nightclubs to supermarket grand openings. After a few singles and another album - Tullycraft toured the U.S. one and a half more times and then took an extended break from playing live and recording. The time that followed saw the band mostly on hiatus - only playing festivals, Popfests, and the occasional YoYo-a-GoGo. Gary Miklusek (a founding member) left the band in 1999. At this point Tullycraft's fate was up in the air. After a long hiatus (recording and playing live) - they released their fourth proper full length which surpassed all expectations.

Scary Monster
Philly indie pop featuring ex-Snow Faires members! New CD out soon!

Maria Taylor
From glistening piano pop to melancholy acoustic gems, Maria Taylor has come into her own as a solo artist. Having grown up in a house full of musicians, Maria Taylor first gave the masses a taste of her gorgeous, mellifluous voice in the band Azure Ray. In 2005, Maria branched out on her own with a critically-acclaimed album, entitled 11:11, which established her as a master story teller with a flare for perfect, harmony-soaked melodies. With her new album, Lynn Teeter Flower, she takes her songcraft one step further, mixing together soaring guitars, bubbly electronics, feathery farfisa organs and sugary layers of vocals into the sweetest confection of an album you'll hear all year. Saddle Creek records

Johnathan Rice
He's just barely turned 24, but Jonathan Rice seems to have some stuff figured out for himself: major label deal, fancy friends, lauds from R.E.M., an IMDB page, a tour with Gibbard and Bazan, and a relationship with Jenny Lewis (by comparison, think we had just about figured out how to log on to Movable Type by that age). And it's a mix-and-match of all of the above for the video of Jonathan's roots-pop single "We're All Stuck In The Desert"; got your major label budget, ample use of acting chops, Rilo Kileyers Blake Sennett and of course Jenny Lewis (in the backing band, driving the runaway car) Faye Runaway (one of the "Moneymaker" porn stars), and Winona Ryder (as a skinny reporter). No fair!
