Hesta Prynn: myspace; “M.I.A. and Miike Snow’s Lovechild” "#4 Artist to Watch in 2010" - NY POST   “Based on the initial single’s death-disco guitar scratch, thumping beat and disembodied, echoing vocals, Prynn’s album is one to look for.”  - TIME OUT NEW YORK (re: ‘Can We Go Wrong’)

Take one listen to Hesta Prynn's brand of electro-hip-hop-art-rock, and you'll most likely be on your ass begging for more—in the best way possible. In the same manner that Andy Warhol and The RZA artistically tore up the Big Apple, she's a maverick in the classic "New York" sense of the word. "Woah Woah" and "Recall" ride a thin line between indie elegance and gutter hip hop attitude. The former Northern State MC remains an underground artist with a chic sense of style and a visionary take on all things outside the norm. Flipping her sonic switchblade through cuts like "Seven Sisters," she shifts from ethereal crooning to raucous ranting on the drop of a dime. She's constructed an aural enigma that could only come from an old school Nintendo-playing, horror movie fanatic who's got a keen fashion sense. With the release of her EP "Can We Go Wrong", a 7" collaboration with Clown from Slipknot and fresh off of a European tour with Tegan & Sara, Hesta Prynn is about to be everywhere.

A Million Years: myspace; A Million Years is a collective of passionate, music-obsessed workaholics -- equally inspired by the intellectualism of bands like Radiohead; the quirk of bands like Wilco and Spoon; and the spunk and punk of bands like Arctic Monkeys. The Brooklyn-based foursome includes Keith Madden (vocals, guitar), Andrew Samaha (bass/vocals), Andrew Vanette (drums/vocals) and Nick Werber (guitar/vocals),

Their recently released 3-song EP Incandescent, produced by Longwave’s Shannon Ferguson, is now available on iTunes and Amazon.com. A Million Years heads back in to the studio with Shannon later this year to record their debut full-length album, (to be released in early 2010) and are set to follow up with some major touring of their own.

Mystery Roar: official website; myspace; "Mystery Roar couch tremulous, crooning vocals in beds of shimmering disco and hip-throwing grooviness." - The Phoenix

"Expect the vinyl-pressed dance-funk party train of Mystery Roar to generate some serious buzz by the time school starts back up." - Boston Herald

"Hand clap beats, filthy bass grooves and cooly effected vocals in a scandalous man on machine love affair." - The Metro

"These keyboard-wielding buddies have made impromptu groove-a-thons a habit as regular as eating breakfast or brushing your teeth." - Weekly Dig

Beloved Rogue: myspace; "We are vibing on these guys something awful right now and it feels great. Beloved Rogue is a three-piece from Brooklyn, and they do this dark, meandering indie rock thing that is strangely, happily reminiscent of the mighty Seam. The vocals, though, are surprisingly airy and reverb-heavy, giving the whole thing a nice contrast in tones. One imagines their live show will be very loud. Or one hopes, anyway.
