I had to leave a fair few out though, 'cause just how there are local bands there are local labels, so some bands remain just as unknown/talented even when signed

Enjoy!

Countless Others - Electronic Indie from Oberlin/Concord MA/Athens GA
This is their first album Fantastickal Worldz
They just recorded a new album and released a single with a video called How Does It Feel?
They had a show at the Middle East in Cambridge last summer and got some sweet video.
Also they won some sweet remix contest for Circa Survive for Dyed in the Wool.

I was in a scavenger hunt with these guys last summer and it was fucking amazing and so are they. Legit some of the nicest, funniest, and most talented dudes I've ever met. Everyone who's heard their album has loved it and can't quite find someone to compare it to, but know that it's great.

Awesome UK band called Well Wisher, if you like Cap n Jazz, American Football, Braid and Thursday

Check them out here:

Ivy Dye

Formed in mid/late 2011 after I was burnt out from being strictly a live performer and we reside in Chicago. I've been told we sound like Tokyo Police Club, The Maccabees, Vampire Weekend, or The Joy Formidable depending on songs. Currently recording a debut EP that'll be released this upcoming summer.

Bio:
Underwater Tiger is a melodic alternative rock band from the Southern Tier of upstate New York. The five-piece is made up of two sets of brothers in their young twenties. In just under two years of existence, the band has recorded and distributed a full-length album, produced four music videos, and performed in most major cities in New York and Pennsylvania.

On March 27th, 2012, the band released their debut album Where Miles Become Meaning. Combining influences from alternative, progressive, and popular music, Where Miles Become Meaning sounds unique yet familiar with layers of contagious melodies and inspiring harmonies. The album was recorded at Pyramid Sound Studios in Ithaca, NY and mastered at Georgetown Masters in Nashville, TN. The songs presented on the record, are marked by poetic lyrics, emotionally driven impacts, and catchy vocal melodies. All five members’ voices can be heard in their songs, as intertwining vocal lines and 3 part harmonies are Underwater Tiger trademarks.

The energy of Underwater Tiger’s songs translates flawlessly to their high-intensity live shows. Their on-stage chemistry combined with their refined musicality makes Underwater Tiger a sight to be seen.
