I like this song

Its called Northwestern Girls by Say Hi (F/K/A Say Hi to Your Mom). This guy is a good guitarist. Bonus points because the kids that did this video on youtube filmed it in orlando.

Another New Band to check out

CORRECTION--This band is from Delaware and not the UK. Not sure why I thought they were from the UK. This is why I am not a journalist!

This is Spinto Band. They're out of the UK. The first song is called Summer Grof. A really funny video. I like the song too. The second song is called Oh Mandy. I like both of them.

This is Oh Mandy.

Melty Melty

Melty Melty at Skully's by Joel Treadway

I've been looking for some local music in Columbus and ran across Melty Melty and think they are worth a listen. They have a new album coming out titled "Rise of the Birdmen" and you can hear some of the songs off of it at their myspace page.

The above video is pretty crappy but your should check out their song "Same Situation" which reminds me of Scott Weiland's solo stuff. You should also check out "Walls" as it has a nice melodic thing going on. It's on their myspace and on their upcoming album.

New Band Alert II — The Crash That Took Me

This song is called Julianne. Its dreamy, lush, and vibrant. Reminds me a little bit of Smashing Pumpkins. They're out of Dallas, which produced fellow indie rockers The Hourly Radio (their second EP was very disappointing). I really like this song. Its definitely missing some sort of sweeping chorus that could really make it a huge hit, but there is some good musicianship in this song. I definitely have to check out the album called Orchestrated Kaleidoscope.

New Band Alert — Anthem In

I really like this song called Down. I'll be buying their self-titled album. They're out of Brooklyn. Its got a groove. The vocalist reminds me of the singer from Soft another band out of Brooklyn.
