This t-shirt design made me laugh, it reminds me of a conversation that I find myself having quite often:

Friend/Acquaintance: I hear you have an indie music blog?

Me: Yeah, I do.

Friend/Acquaintance: Have you heard of (insert any random unknown band or artist)?

Me: No, I haven’t. Do you like them?

Friend/Acquaintance: You haven’t?! OMG! I can’t believe you blog about music and you’ve never heard of (insert aforementioned band or artist name)!

Me: Well, there’s a lot of good music out there.

Friend/Acquaintance: You should write about them, my sister’s boyfriend’s cable guy is in that band. I can’t believe you haven’t heard of them. They totally rock!

Here are my thoughts on that:

  1. We don’t HAVE to like the same music.
  2. Neither of us is cooler than the other because we have heard of a certain band.

That said, I’m all about sharing the good stuff!

Album

La Célula Durmiente is an indie band from Spain (we love international music submissions). I also love bands that can play so many different styles- country, pop, emo, hardcore, tex-mex, circus- especially when they keep you coming back for more. It does make categorizing the band’s music a nightmare though!

Some quick facts about La Celula Durmiente:

  • Third album after “Perverso Universo” (Underhill/Arindelle, 2005) and “Eclectcinismo” (BCore/Underhill/Arindelle, 2007).
  • Joan Colomo also plays guitar and sings in The Unfinished Sympathy and in Zeidun, besides doing it solo. Inés enbodied provocation in Las Perras del Infierno and Narcís Prat is one of the best drummers we know, also fronting the mighty Moksha.
  • These guys make great indie music!

Straight from the submissions pile:

Rooftop VigilantesWe’re a fun-loving indie-rock band from Lawrence, KS with members of Blood on the Wall, Bandit Teeth, and Boo and Boo Too. We like long walks on the beach and tacos.
