The San Francisco based trio, Let Fall the Sparrow, is made up of Lilly Pritchard (bass/vocals), Daniel Lemke (guitar) and Jesse Freidin (drums). Their sound is both ethereal and driving, moving between quiet melodic moments and intense sonic builds.

Misophonic
Equal parts driven and dreamy, misophonic’s music is a collision of old and new, turned inside out. Trumpet included.

Balancing the tightrope between indie and mainstream rock, THE BRUISES embrace incredibly catchy choruses, dueling female vocal harmonies, and a serrated double guitar attack. Tipping their hats to acts such as Lush, that dog., and Sleater-Kinney, the band has forged a sound that is both unique and timeless. …. “We just make music we like, without trying to be a part of any fad or musical trend,” says guitarist/singer Jen Black. “I’d like to think that someone 10 or 20 years from now could enjoy our songs the same way they do at this moment.”

http://www.holdmelukeallen.com/
In late 2009 a bass player, another bass player, and a drummer stepped out of the rhythm section shadows and into the spotlight to realize a vision that combines musical influences ranging from trip-hop and electronica to grunge and punk. With a limited songwriting history, a load of production knowledge, a vision, and a lot of patience, Hold Me Luke Allen has found their rhythm — errr..voice. The trio has not entirely abandoned their respective instruments, but have added guitar, soft synths, vocals, sampling, and sequencers to the mix in what can readily be described as nu gaze (a genre combining elements of shoegaze and new wave/electronica)

Jared Mees & The Grown Children
http://jaredmeesandthegrownchildren.com
Pairing sometimes dark lyrical matter with uptempo major-chord progressions, the newest album from Portland, Oregon’s Jared Mees and the Grown Children examines the give-and-take inherent in struggles for self-fulfillment while walking a tightrope between naive exuberance and cynical skepticism. This balancing act results in a sound that is joyful yet introspective; a rollicking Americana tale of modern life, be it hellish or heavenly. [website]

Sea of Bees is the musical project of Julie Ann Bee, or Jules as everyone calls her.

She sings, writes the songs, and plays lots of musical instruments.

“Took me about 50 seconds — the length of the woozy, haunting intro to “Marmalade” — to completely fall for Sea of Bees, the nom de tune of Sacramento indie-popper Julie Baenziger. Her debut album “Songs for the Ravens” sounds folky in some places, gauzy and ambient in others and twee as hell in still others, but beautiful throughout, and a potent reminder that emotional virtue is an artist’s most precious commodity. This one’s special, folks, let’s not screw it up.” -Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands LA, LA Weekly

“Songs for the Ravens is bound to be one of this year’s finest records;as soon as you hear it you’re not going to be able to shakeit.” -Ned Lannamann,Portland Mercury

“I’m not entirely sure why I love this album so much… …That which I cannot put my finger on, is the mysterious, wonderful, and addictive qualities of this album as a whole. Bravo to Jules and her Sea of Bees.” -Jason Lytle (Grandaddy, Admiral Radley)

“Nuanced, heartfelt folk songs that sound like they could have been written anytime in the past century or so.” ..– Time Out New York
“If Quazar had sounded anything like Dame Satan, the San Francisco quartet that just played the Wednesday-night Americana Ramble at Marilyns on K, I might be translating dispatches from Zeti Reticuli right now. Ever heard music that makes you desperately try to remember if you’d innocuously eaten a brownie earlier that could have been, ahem, herbally enhanced? Dame Satans music had that effect. The instrumentation was boilerplate Americana–acoustic guitars, banjos, resonator guitars, bass and maybe even a mandolin–but the execution was closer to chamber music meets jazz. The influences, among them British folk, English post-psychedelic blues rock, spare Delta blues and the sort of weird Americana the Grateful Dead sometimes hinted at, melded into an original whole whose presence was rather startling. The four members played off each other like ancient jazz bodhisattvas, and there was a conscious awareness and manipulation of the spaces between the notes, again more a jazz trait than an element common to more straightforward genres like bluegrass or country. The overall effect is easy to recall. Its like that time you got really buzzed and played guitar in the stairwell and sang, and you heard yourself sounding like something from another dimension.” ..– Sacramento News and Views
“…Druggy, dusky hued country folks who slink about in the shadows…” ..– Aquarius
“…Underrated…” ..– S.F. Bay Guardian
“…Little ‘r’ rock with sweetly scented underpine…” ..– Byron Coley, The Wire
“BEACHES AND BRIDGES, the second long-play album by Dame Satan, is a leviathan of a record that’ll displace mass amounts of air from your speakers, whether it’s creeping along or flowing with speed and soul. The sounds it contains are huge, surreal, and timeless, easily holding their ground when compared to your parents’ musical documentations of progression, folk, harmony, and psychedelia.” ..– Thrasher Magazine

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Campbell-Apartment/17055212085

The Campbell Apartment is the brainchild of Russian-born artist and Renaissance lad Ari Vais, who modeled the band after lo-fi anti-heroes like Guided By Voices and The Replacements. With a schmeer of songs chock full of clever turns of phrase, buttery Brian Wilson harmonies, and high fructose melodies, Vais aims to create tunes with hooks that are designed for addiction, to keep your toes tapping, and to rattle around in your head for days. After a few years in New York City, Vais moved west in 2009 to San Francisco where he was joined by drummer Gary Gutfeld (Corduroy, Redemption 87, The Hi-Fives), bassist Mikey K, and, most recently, New York guitar rock legend Jody Porter (Fountains of Wayne). Together, we’re The Campbell Apartment. [myspace]

Acacia Collective
http://www.myspace.com/sfacacia
Acacia Collective was born in a cave in Orange County, California during the winter of 2003. Soon after, Craig MacArthur and Ryan McCaffrey began ferociously writing and playing music, focusing on ethereal vocal harmonies and soulful guitar interplay. Inspired by the artistic energy of the Bay Area, the duo relocated to San Francisco in 2004. Over the next several years the Collective grew, incorporating many talented Bay Area musicians. Most notably, they collaborated with bassist, songwriter, producer and Bay Area legend, Bobby Vega. With Vega and guitarist Chris Rosbach producing and with Prairie Prince on drums, the Collective finished their debut album, “House of Cards” in the fall of 2008. With the release of “House of Cards,” Acacia Collective is now on a mission to bring its passion for musical expression to as many ears as possible. MacArthur and McCaffrey work at crafting euphoric, spacious and uplifting songs, while remaining firmly rooted in sunsplashed rock n’ roll. Acacia Collective perform with an intense joy for musical creation, “getting high while worlds collide…” [myspace]

The American Professionals
http://www.myspace.com/TheAmericanProfessionals
San Francisco-based The American Professionals dole out comfortably familiar powerpop in this four-track EP. You know the deal – loud, crunchy guitars and catchy melodies. So if you’re a diehard powerpop fan, you do get the heavy guitarwork (classic 70s styled) and the Beatlesque tunes, which suggests that the likes of Cheap Trick and the Raspberries might be strong influences. It’s straightforward really. Personally, I like the subtle contrasts in the title track which does suggest that the band has more in its locker than loud and heavy. Always a good sign. That said, the adrenaline-pumping, bittersweet confections of Jump This Train, Down Low and Yet Another One More Time will keep the powerpop fans smiling. In addition, check out bonus track Love is Only Sleeping, which is a gorgeous evocation of mid-60s psychedelic-garage rock.

Grinn & Barrett’s style of lyrical pop songs have been influenced by early 90’s grunge, classic blues, folk, electro-pop, and even reggae.

Bronwyn’s melodic vocals and bright guitar sound are met with Natalie’s creative and strong drum beats to create the Grinn & Barrett sound, indie-folk-grunge-pop. [website]

In 2009 they moved to San Francisco and joined forces with classically trained drummer Abe Waggoner. With the addition of talented lead guitarist Kyle Ward, the band recorded two EPs and gained a devoted following playing Northern California shows in the Bay Area and beyond. [myspace]

Losing oneself isn’t necessarily something to shy away from; in the case of the debut EP from San Francisco trio Interchangeable Hearts, such an outcome should probably be welcomed. Fronted by the coolly unhurried vocals of Lina Hancock, the three-piece arrives well-versed in matching stark atmospherics with melancholic ruminations on matters of love, at times recalling Midnight Movies at their most minimal or Sub Pop-era Saint Etienne at their most somber. – Todd Lavoie, San Francisco Bay Guardian (Facebook)

“Company Car’s songs don’t sound like tiresome philosophy lectures, even if the bandmates can discuss who kicks more ass, Alexander Pope or John Locke. Rather, the San Francisco quartet makes a thunderous noize that churns faster than an Amish kid on trucker speed, harkening back to groups like Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Braid. We’re talking about players who are equally attuned to the worlds of metal and classical, with just enough pop in their veins.” – Noise Pop [website]

CCR Headcleaner may not have fallen on your radar yet, but these three long-time friends, with the new addition of bassist Mark Trisey, are no strangers to making the thrashy, noisy, spazzy jams San Francisco seems to love. Having been in the Hospitals, Long Legged Woman, and numerous other punk-influenced projects, these guys are pros at creating loud, fierce walls of sound. Their sonic output is also reflective of their distinct characters. One could describe both their music and the producers of it as disheveled, nonchalant, erratic and unpredictable, while also mirthful, sweet, and remarkably genuine. [SF Weekly]

Dadfag are a blistering young San Francisco three-piece that has been kicking the West Coast’s ass for a couple of years at house parties, warehouses, and clubs. The band members–two girls on vocals, a boy on drums–fled from the South, sweaty, bored, and sick of explaining themselves. The trio started practicing as Dadfag shortly thereafter in a borrowed practice space in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood. One year, 30 songs and 17,000 shows later, Eva Hannan, Alan Miknis, and Danielle Benson are still playing with dildos, baking pies, and making people uncomfortable.[Midheaven]

2008 – San Francisco, California. A young, married rhythm section from Half Moon Bay hears an old friend from San Jose’s songs he has recorded on his own. Phone calls and emails are exchanged. There are no first impressions to make anymore, everyone gets along fine. Amps are plugged in; an initial recording session is made. They practice for a long time. A year later, they finish recording an album and start playing shows. A terse biography is drawn up to help get more shows. So the story goes once more.
