Brothers From Another - Too Soon EP

Brothers from Another are a Seattle hip hop duo. It's pretty normal for Seattle hip hop: creative, good beats, interesting lyrics, not gangster.

I really dig this, I kind of saw them a few months ago...enjoyed it!

Tin Tree Factory - Admire the Mess

Tin Tree Factory are a folk band from Seattle.

I saw them a few years ago in a backyard with Ghost Mice and Heathers, an incredible Irish band!

I started volunteering at the Vera Project and there was someone there that I vaguely recognized. Turns out it was Marc, who does percussion and key stuff for them. He was telling me the other day that they had a new album up for download!

It's generally slower, the lyrics are heartfelt and often political.

No Kings - Steering Underwater

This band is from Walla Walla, Washington. It's not worth knowing about if you didn't know already. To be honest I'm not surprised that a band came from their, but I am surprised that it's good!

This is fast-ish hardcore, not disimilar to Give up the Ghost (American Nightmare for the "purists") or Cursed.
