Top Five (+5)

Sea Lion. Ruby Suns (Sub Pop).

Stay Positive. The Hold Steady (Vagrant Records).

Fave Single: “42 West Avenue,” Cashier No. 9. From Belfast, Northern Ireland, Cashier No. 9 is fronted by talented singer/songwriter Daniel Todd, who fills this catchy tune with plenty of quirky pop riffs. Hopefully, his band will receive a record deal and distribution stateside soon.
