SeeThru Broadcasting

SeeThru is a terrific, young Brooklyn-based label founded by engineer/producer/former Barkmarket frontman Dave Sardy. As he puts it, he started the label he wishes he could have signed to. SeeThru's roster isn't very big, but it still manages to be breathtakingly eclectic, ranging from The Radar Brothers' melancholy country-flavored pop to Starlight Mints' baroque psychedelia to Enon's totally warped cartoon funk rock. What all SeeThru's artists have in common is remarkable originality and endless talent. Check out SeeThru's website -- there's always something neat going on there.

Enon
Enon sounds so different and so good, its easy to imagine history viewing them as progenitors of a whole new popular music movement with a name like "New New Wave" or "Millennial Pop." Their blending of college rock and collage rock is one of the more exciting developments in independent music in recent memory.

Gwenmars
Hey, do you remember a time when there were lots of high-profile pop groups who were good -- or at least entertaining? Sure you do. Remember glam, new wave, and then, well, glam again, L.A. style? Yeah, so do Gwenmars, and they put it all together in their doctor's-office-catchy power pop.

Driving a Million


Mike G
Think of Mike G's four-track as a big frying pan in which he cooks up delicious nuggets of goofy pop goodness, sautéed to perfection.

Sugar Daddy


John Stuart Mill
Yet another project from one of Dayton, Ohio?s most creative indie rockers, John Schmersal. John Stuart Mill?s short songs are bright glistening gems full of fuzzy, lo-fi pop psychosis.

Forget Everything


The Radar Bros.
The Radar Bros. make warm, shimmering, slow motion rock songs that sneak into your heart with low-key attitude and a countrified sheen. They are an old porch rocking chair on a warm summer's evening, a quiet moment with an good friend, and late afternoon sunlight washing over spring-green foothills.

Starlight Mints
Sugar free, salt free, fat free, no aftertaste...Well, Starlight Mints the band might not be quite as good for you as the tasty candy of the same name. In fact, their off-kilter bubblegum psychedelia might just tie your sense of reality up in knots.
