MyFriends: Markis Sage, Nighttime, Nitad, Red Moon, White Plimsoles
New music for a new year. What treats does myspace have for us this week?
Markis Sage
SOUNDS LIKE: The latest skweee act to appear on the scene. Demands you to move.
HIGHLIGHTS: Cop fight, Directors muscles

Nighttime
SOUNDS LIKE: Anthemic melodic rock with a strong melancholic streak. Not too far off from Front's other band Front and the Factory Lies Beneath (see here) 'cept a bit more intimate.
HIGHLIGHTS: Nighttime (Part 1), The best of the worst

Nitad
SOUNDS LIKE: Raging street-punk made even better by their superb sense of design.
HIGHLIGHTS: Ge oss mer, Ge mig ge mig

Red Moon
SOUNDS LIKE: I mentioned this sister duo awhile ago, but it's worth reminding you because they are still unsigned and totally deserving of your attention.
HIGHLIGHTS: Every track is worth hearing.

White Plimsoles
SOUNDS LIKE: Norrland's answer to Those Dancing Days? The next Sahara Hotnights? Regardless of how you sell it, this band of 16 year-old girls has a wide-open future ahead of them.
HIGHLIGHTS: Only one track up right now, but it's great.
