4. The Low Anthem
5. Janelle Monae
6. She & Him

New as in "newcomer bands", or as in "bands you don't know yet"? Because for the latter, we would need to know what you listen to now, in order to give proper recommendations - and I'm still not sure whether I could come up with something useful.

I'm getting into this band Low, thinking they were some new good tunes. Epic fail on my part, they've been around since freakin '94.

They've got a new series of videos up on YouTube, performing songs from their upcoming album in a one shot/one take, acoustic setting. This one is especially nice:

She was on last season of the real world on MTV. One of the people from the show ended up going to her house to practice with her. She sounded amzing from the show.

I have to say that these guys are a big hit around my apartment, which is funny cuz its not my type of music at all.

Can anyone suggest any new bands?
