Boy Genius

The Brooklyn, New York band Boy Genius creates anthemic pop music that relies on both the 80s indie rock and 60s pop traditions as benchmarks for their sound. They have been called the "quintessential American college radio band," by Indie MP3. The group released their debut album Anchorage in 2008. Their second album Staggering, recorded and produced by Mitch Easter, will be released in January 2010.

tailor made for a small room

Tailor Made for a Small Room are a Tokyo-based duo who specialize in lo-fi electronica, not dissimilar in style to the likes of Lullatone and 4 Bonjour's Parties. It comes as no surprise, then, to learn that one half of TMFASR also belongs to 4 Bon, while the other half is the singer for Lost in Found, winners of Japanzine's Gaijin Sounds 2008 competition. Both members are Japanese, though much of their work is sung in English.
