First Aid Kit. They're a Swedish folk/acoustic/country duo comprised of sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg. They became internationally known in 2008 after uploading a cover version of Fleet Foxes' "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" on YouTube. Their third album, Stay Gold, is out this summer. Website is here.

Metronomy. Originally a side project of London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Joseph Mount, Metronomy evolved into a quirky electro-pop quartet. The songs are all about the highs and lows of love, but there's a refreshingly off-kilter vibe in the execution. Website is here.

Red City Radio. This Oklahoma punk/rock band is aggressive and gritty, sure, but also accessible thanks to their sense of humor and a knack for killer hooks. There latest release, Titles, came out in late 2013. Website is here.

I dig the lyrics of this song, which I'll concede are tricky to understand. Here's the chorus:
Doesn't matter if you tell the truth
Doesn't matter if you lie
Doesn't matter if there's holes in your alibi
I'm not buying
Doesn't matter if you tell the truth
Doesn't matter if you lie
Doesn't matter if there's holes in your alibi
I'm not buying at all
And you can call me a bad friend
And you can just not call me
Doesn't matter if you tell the truth
Doesn't matter if you lie
Doesn't matter if there's holes in your alibi
I'm not buying
Doesn't matter if you tell the truth
Doesn't matter if you lie
Doesn't matter if there's holes in your alibi
I'm not buying at all
And you can call me a bad friend
And you can just not call me
Digging the Red City Radio song/video! Glad I ran into them here. Thanks
