This is the second installment of my weekly video posting. Here are five bands that are essential to listen to before hitting the streets for MusicfestNW this September. Both Ra Ra Riot and The Thermals will be releasing new albums this fall and you can expect to hear brand new material. Super-producer Chris Walla (of Death Cab for Cutie) has worked on producing both of the forthcoming albums. Be excited people, be VERY excited.
1. Okkervil River- Lost Coastlines
3. The Thermals- Now We Can See
4. Male Bonding- Years Not Long
5. Panda Bear- Comfy In Nautica
