While knowing bands is always good for conversation, here are some up-and-coming bands that are still "under the radar" and will make you look really super duper cool if you name drop them at a party:
Widowspeak
Widowspeak started off playing shows for their buddies in little venues in Brooklyn. Now, even though they have been named "Best New Band" on more than one list, they eat humble pie and still rock out for their friends. They are a cute bunch and have a great stage presence. Oh, and you can usually find them chilling with the Vivian Girls. [Photo via]---Songs You Should Know:
