Brave New World: Looking for a voice outside the mainstream? A real alternative? Brave New World brings you music that jumps, kicks, whispers, and screams its way into your soul. It's often loud, because it's about emotion, but often quiet for the same reason. It can be as well known as REM, or as little known as a demo cassette.

Sixteen Deluxe
Sometimes they sing all sweet and nice, but I don't think they really are. Sixteen Deluxe can flip a pretty pop song into squalling guitar noise and then back before you know it, and that's a GOOD thing.
