George Washington By Meho Plaza

So... Meho Plaza, the album by Meho Plaza has been on my ipod for a while now and I figure it is time to share a couple of tracks that have been sticking in my head of late. In case you are unfamiliar, Meho Plaza are from LA and they play noisy synth driven rock n' roll.

Listen:
"George Washington" (box.net mp3)
"Your Future Looks Bright" (box.net mp3)

Boy Genius (They have a whole early 90's Western Mass Indie + Harmonica + Harmonies thing happening), Brilliant Sweaters (I hear they like Green Day, haha... seriously they have the whole power pop thing down), and N** Y*** T***** (They're awesome. An old GT post is here). I did miss The Great Unwashed, and after checking out their myspace I was pissed I didn't get there earlier. Take a listen: "Mirage A La Mode" (box.net mp3)

Terminal Five By N** Y*** T*****

Formerly, they were known as The Night Time. But what to call them now? Is it New York Times or N** Y*** T*****? Well, I'll go by the spelling on their myspace page... N** Y*** T***** it is.

Besides their trademark infringement-y name, they have a whole 90's indie pop girl vocals thing happening. They have been compared to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sleater-Kinney, Autolux, VU, and Pavement. So, if you want me to thrown in another band to compare N** Y*** T***** to, I will. I choose a band with a different Rebecca in it... The Spinanes (but, you know, not as sparse). Anyway, they rock.
