    image http://www.myspace.com/therandals There's something special in the raw sound of The Randals. I hope they don't lose that. A lot of bands with a cool sound (like theirs) will, given more studio options and a bigger budget, start to make their stuff sound "more polished"--but it can be a detriment to the songs. I think they sound great.

    image http://www.dougmusic.com/ I don't normally put much stuff up that sounds like Doug Kwartler, but this guy is worth the exception. Check out "Strong" or "Simple Life." Pretty cool.

    image http://myspace.com/outsiderrnr OutsideR(RnR) is a rapper (or group?) from Kazakhstan. I don't know what he's saying, but there's something good going on with the vocals and music. Besides, he's got Jamie Oliver next to Dr. Dre in his MySpace friends list, so you have to love it.

    Ok, with one more Asher Roth video, I think we've covered him enough. But we had to put this one up.

    SoyuNeik posts on mikeshinoda.com all the time...when I first checked this page out, I remember thinking, "I didn't know she had beats like THIS!" Her tracks are GREAT. I'd love to hear some of the vocalists from my site team up with her to make some good stuff together.

    I don't know how to describe Johnny Berlin's music. Really unique vocal harmonies, cool keyboards, good indie rock vibe "from Sin City, Limburg, Belgium." http://www.myspace.com/johnnyberlinmusic

    I said that you should only post stuff if you're a musician. Elliot-aka-MC-Eli found a loophole in my rules (being a musician himself, but not posting his own music, ha!) and posted this for his brother. Kodiak Like The Bear is a California based, unsigned quartet who lists their influences as "Keith Sweat vs. Glassjaw vs. Prince vs. ??" I think if you like Thrice, Taking Back Sunday, Deftones, The Cure, My Chem, Silversun Pickups, The Used...you get the point. Go check them out. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=213967436

    EDIT: I fixed a couple mistakes on this page. Johnny Berlin is from Belgium (please excuse my typo), and Kodiak Like The Bear's link is fixed.
