Week 9: The Mobbs - an honest to goodness - British band with a punk attitude. They play it fast and nasty and it makes me want to walk around saying "bloody hell" all the time. Well here check out this video:
Week 10: Mikey Wax - is a singer and songwriter - Long Island born. He recently released a new album Constant Motion which hit #6 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart. Here's a video for his song In Case I Go Again which has been viewed over a half a million times on You Tube:
Week 11: Elika - are an indie band from Brooklyn. Their sound features astonishing vocals set atop a complex yet lovely combination of guitar, synth, bass and drum machine. Check out Elika's video for their song Summer here:
Week 12: Clepto - is a punk band with a definite Middle Eastern influence. The band formed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2000 and has since relocated to Canada. The play it hard and nasty and the music is not for the faint of heart. For the unfaint of heart it's a jolly good time.... Check out this video: NOTE: I screwed up on the reader's poll and mispelled the band's name. I know the band's name. It was a typo. So if you like Clepto please vote for Cleto.
