Artist: Arthur & Yu
Genre: Rock/PopLeaving childhood memories behind can be a troublesome thing, whether it's a cherished object, a dream, or just playing around with friends.

Artist: Blue Scholars
Genre: Hip-HopIn homage to hip-hop's empirical formula - one DJ & one MC, and duos such as Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Gangstarr and Blackalicious, the Blue Scholars embody the chemistry that made these groups so consistent not only on wax, but live on stage as well. What results is the blend of poetic, raw vocal delivery with melodic boom-bap and turntablism,... [+] Read More

Artist: Nirvana
Genre: Rock/PopPrior to Nirvana, alternative music was consigned to specialty sections of record stores and major labels considered it to be, at the very most, a tax write-off. After the band's second album, 1991's Nevermind, nothing was ever quite the same, for better and for worse. Nirvana popularized punk, post-punk, and indie rock, unintentionally bringing...

Artist: Soundgarden
Genre: Rock/PopSoundgarden made a place for heavy metal in alternative rock. Their fellow Seattle rockers Green River may have spearheaded the grunge sound, but they relied on noise rock in the vein of the Stooges. Similarly, Jane's Addiction were too fascinated with prog rock and performance art to appeal to a wide array of metal fans. Soundgarden, however,... [+] Read More

Artist: Whalebones
Genre: Alternative/IndieJustin Deary and Jon Treneff started Whalebones in Seattle during the spring of 2005.
