Well for the people that have not heard or do not know The Stone Roses yet, the best find of the year for you will definitely be The Stone Roses!

DIIV
Divine Fits
IO Echo
Cloud Nothings

I'm excited to see Divine Fits too. Britt Daniel from Spoon and Dan Boeckner from Wolf Parade seem to have a good sound live...

Cloud Nothings are solid live. Good picks!

I wonder if DIIV's sound will be good live, but I'm hopeful!

My own:

Dog Blood - I hate Skrillex, but Boyz Noize seems to be the primary contributer and the two songs they've put out are cool as hell.
Jello Biafra - Not really a find being a Dead Kennedys fan, but I'm digging Audacity of Hype and can't wait to hear the new album. Freakin' Jello Biafra!
The Evens - Anything with Ian MacKaye in it is generally worthwhile, and this looks like a winner.
Wild Belle - I like her voice... Hope they will be good live.

JAMES BLACK - James Blake's urban side project
the more you know......

[grichsgang]

Cloud Nothings are solid live.

Agree. The jam on Wasted Days was epic at FYF. Don't miss this.

Mine so far (still making my through though)

Skinny Lister
Lord Huron

[brewersblue]

Tame impala
Smith Westerns

[Neighborhood Creep]

My leg fell asleep and it hurts to stand up

[nake13]

- Thee Oh Sees.

- Parov Stelar.


^ These 2 made me stand up from the chair.

[Nealocus]

Vintage Trouble
Reignwolf

Both badass blues rock.

Oh and if you haven't heard The Wombats or Tanlines then you need to get your shit together.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

I have had a small grasp on Nick Cave & Grinderman, but have never been a full fledged "fan". But I've been bumping anything and everything Cave lately - I'm sincerely impressed with this human. You will see me at both shows, no doubt.

[abbeyroad 04]

I'm digging The Neighborhood. Also Lord Huron.

[footixy]

Seriously... no ones mentioned Robert delong?.... =\

[KickerConspiracy]

Palma Violets - the Vaccines with thick accents like Glasvegas
Skinny Lister/Shovels & Rope - two bands more talented than Mumford & Sons
Savages - love me some British pop
Birdy Nam Nam - that four turntables thing is pretty amazing
The Colourist - not sure what I think about these guys. The female vocal tracks are pretty great. It seems like that's only about half of them.

maybe no one's "found" them yet...

[lostatlimbo]

Alt-J
from the name I expected a crappy DJ. Very happy to have been wrong about that, but I'm not sure how to describe this band yet.

Wild Nothing and Polica have been great finds too.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Savages. This is right up my alley. I hope it closes the Gobi but it'll probably be on early, I presume

.

[thebaconator]

James Blake, can't wait

[Fidoosh]

These guys tickle my fancy... And they sound great live.



This video is trippy...

[Hedley Lamar]

Jeff the Brotherhood
The Wombats
Thee Oh Sees
TNGHT

[tmac]

alt-j gets kinda samey by the end of their sets

james blake is stellar

[IceyHotshot]

Grinderman
The Three O'Clock
Divine Fits

[Antoine3323]

Just discovered Reignwolf earlier tonight, and dear lord am I happy I did! I was looking for this year's Gary Clark, Jr, and I think I may have found him

[IamNate]

Does finding this video count?




Also Birdy Nam Nam??? That band is hilarious. I love Peter Sellers



On a serious not I really have enjoyed listening to Dam-Funk. Its like Roger Troutman is still alive!



Also for those of you discovering The Three O'Clock enjoy! They are one of my favorite bands at the concert and the fact that they are playing for the first time since 1988 or something and its the first time ever that the original four of The Stone Roses are playing in the US is making this a never thought it was going to happen in my life time event!!!

[thagorillaz]

Birdy Nam Nam - that four turntables thing is pretty amazing

I was about to tell you you meant c2c but then i youtubed birdy nam nam. Awesome.

the year of the dueling 4 turntablist crews

[zukoboss]

Disclosure

granted... it's completely indulgent electro pop but damn, these kids can produce!
