Oh boy. Here's a big list of stuff. Fear not, I think there's something for everyone. It's going to be entirely bands that I'm friends with since I honestly think most of them warrant more exposure. There's more but some of these people are surprisingly hard to find.

Bands I'm friends with:

Formalities - Runaway. Okay so maybe this is me. Whatever dad! Realized my EP isn't a year old so here's an old demo track.

Faking Amnesia - YEEEEEEAAAAAHHH. And this is my roommate. He makes really dance-y chiptune music. Chip-pop I guess.

Skirts - Mean Girls. Over a year old despite the upload date, surf rock.

Cottage Jefferson - Goodbye Blue Monday. I've raved about these guys before, but seriously. I Don't Believe Anything is one of my favorite albums ever. If you like Pavement there's no way you don't love this band.

Routine Involvements - Hang Ups. This is really atypical of their more recent stuff but you get the idea!

Ligaments - Entropica. Good house music. Guy is a prolific electronic musician, always putting something out.

Comfy. Might be my current favorite out of this list. It's bandcamp but trust me they meet your criteria. Up and coming band. The album is less than a year old, but this song is two years old.

The Wallpaper - Iris. Some really great, reverby slacker pop.

Kopps - L.A. Lights. Great female lead synth-pop. Huge 80s influenced hooks and synths.

Revengineers - Laiki. Honestly, I think this was at the time the most talented band in the area at the time. These guys are monstrously talented and the drummer is the same drummer from the band Saxon Shore.

Vundabar - Darla. I'm not sure how to describe this band outside of a kind of math-y indie rock band, but they're killer!

The Demos - Nervous. Hi. This is basically The Strokes lite but it's still catchy.

Ovlov - Where's my Dini?. 1. These guys are hilarious people. 2. Do you like shoegaze influenced punk? 3. Listen to this.

Kris Keyser - Rockem Sockem. Pretty heavy chiptune.

Bit Shifter - The Information Chase. You don't even need to like chiptune to like this guys music, he is one of the most well-known and influential people in the scene.

Danimal Cannon - Jean Luc. More chiptune, but this involves metal-influenced guitar shredding over it. Incredibly well-crafted songs.

Noisewaves - Do I Look Like I want to Play Volleyball. Post-rock mixed with chiptune and this band is actually from Michigan.

Bad Cello - Stop Living. This guy is actually a friend of mine from back home. Pretty innovative stuff, haven't heard too much else like it.

French Horn Rebellion - Swing Into It. Electronic Nu-Disco. They're interesting dudes but they make great music.

Josh Netsky - Moonville. A folk artist who put out an EP devoted to abandoned places.
