Hudson Bell is still fairly young and putting stuff out. But this album I am posting a song from should have made him more known.


Agree. This band is very talented. Any Built to Spill fans should give them a listen. They are expected to release something this year.

A couple of my favorite unknowns:

Cloud Cult - very emotional music. If you've ever lost someone close, a lot of it hits close to home.

Quiet Company - band from Austin. The ablum that this song is on is probably one of my favorites from 2011.

Good music, pretentious white people.

From wikipedia:

quote:

In 1997, lead singer Craig Minowa formed Earthology Records on his organic farm, powered by geothermal energy and built partially from reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. This nonprofit label uses only recycled materials and donates all profits to environmental charities.[4] The band also tours in a biodiesel van.[5]

not really unheard of. They sold out two nights at a local venue that holds 350.

To give you a feel, rebirth played a few weeks later and didn't sell the venue out.

Yeah. I guess I'm just thinking about this board. I've never seen a thread about them or seen them mentioned by anyone other than myself. They are a lot more popular in the midwest, but don't seem to have much of a following down south. They rarely tour down here.

Where'd you see them? The last time I saw them was in Minneapolis in 2008 or 2009. I saw them at SXSW before that. They haven't come down south since then :(.

Scale the Summit gets talked about quite a bit around here. I assume your brother is Mark Michell. I haven't seen them since he joined, but I have seen enough to know he's talented.


Yea, its Mark. I got stuck with no music talent
