Lorde - The Love Club

Apparently the viral band on Spotify right now, Lorde has an excellent EP that showcases her strong vocals as well as a unique set of songs. While having a somewhat mainstream voice, her electro influences in her songs help to make them edgy and different.

Hunter Hunted - Keep Together

This band is destined for major indie stardom. They are just the perfect mix of indie and mainstream sound, which will help them reach a broad audience. Imagine Dragons was the big hit from last year.  If Hunter Hunted’s album is anything like their EP, Hunter Hunted could be that band for 2013.

Grimes - Vanessa

While Grimes broke out with their album Visions last year, she has also produced other albums. One notable song from her 2011 album Darkbloom is “Vanessa.” It’s more mellow, but has that distinctive high pitch sound and rhythmic beat that has made her famous.

Fitz and the Tantrums - Out of My League

Their last album shot them into stardown and this new single doesn’t disappoint. Sounding like the past, but ever relevant to the present, this song is fantastic!

Not what I thought the video would be, but street breakdancing is very entertaining to this song.

The Transplants - Diamonds and Guns

If this song sounds familiar, you might recognize it from Garnier Fructis commercials. The lyrics are about the brutality of the diamond trade, but they got lost in the citrus-bliss of hair product.
