*Explore New Music Fridays*

Well, first off, in the "Local Yokels" category we have Phoera...Take a listen... I am now a fan! Correct me if I'm wrong, My first impressions are a sorta A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms meets the "Gish" era Smashing Pumpkins (listen to Rhinoceros) with a small splash of the early 90's indie darling's Eric's Trip...Especially the girly voice bits.

Next we have in the "New english/emo/punk melancholy sound type band" category, typical, yet somehow a little different...BLOC PARTY - Enjoy your Listen....I'm in Love.

(Hey! also check out Aural Hygiene Radio This Radio Blog has got a great playlist featuring Bloc Party and a bunch of other great bands.)
