Joyful Noise Recordings

..

Abner Trio

Extremely off-kilter indie-pop for fans of shifting time signatures and spoken word wisdom.

..

The music of Berry is a strange animal. But writing and recording over 100 songs in 7 years will do strange things to a band. In Berry's case it has resulted in some dense, delicate, graceful pop songs with a certain "Searching for Bobby Fisher" mentality.

..

This is disco for the undead: solid, consistently danceable post-post-punk with a brazenly psychotic, progressive edge.

..

C.J. Boyd plays the bass. C.J. Boyd is a band and a man. C.J. Boyd has a nomadic touring schedule – calling no place and every place home.

..

The Delicious are sarcastic doomsday soothsayers - elegantly constructing ridiculously addictive experimental indie-pop for math-rock enthusiasts, jazz purists, and indie rock-snobs alike.

..

Jookabox

Old-time spirituals, folk, punk, chain-gang hymnals, and tribal-trashcan-club music of the future blend into a cohesive and unique synthesis - in an end product which they dub "Jungle Folk."

..

Hermit Thrushes

Harsh chords, complex rhythms, strange orchestration and awkward melody interchangeably weave throughout this artful blend of indie rock..

..

Hi Red Center

Hi Red Center are an endearingly odd and distorted version of a barbershop quartet. Academic experimentation and manic soulfulness intertwine with this NYC based group.

..

Man at Arms

The spastic muttering of a primeval brit-punk record meets the more contemporary arrangements of modern math-rock with this Michigan based guitar/drum duo.

..

Marmoset..

Dark pop, tumultuous clamor, and epic joyful dirges blend into addictive two-minute melodies that are delicate, restrained, strange and somehow dissociative.

..

Prizzy Prizzy Please..

Prizzy Prizzy Please is a complete anomaly - a band of modest Midwestern jokers, shunning the use of an electric guitar to compose songs that seem to have as much in common with Van Halen as Devo, with TV on the Radio as much as T.V. off it (like the Discovery Channel), or with Parts and Labor as much as the E Street Band.

..

Push-Pull..

Imagine Cream's pop structures arranged for the Mahavishnu Orchestra, probing areas untouched by The Wipers, King Crimson, Big Star, or Shellac.

..

Racebannon..

Midway between a deleted scene from River's Edge and the resurrection of Frankenstein to unleash havoc upon the villagers that put him under, the Racebannon sound is one of many disparate influences that blend seamlessly into one lethal cocktail of hatred and aggression, draped in a cerecloth of pure molten rock that is as unforgiving as it is pulse-quickening.

..

Stationary Odyssey..

A unique and unpredictable blend of noise-rock. Aggressive guitars, atmospheric sounds, electro beats, noise, and pop melodies all find their way into the music of Stationary Odyssey.

..

Valina

Euro-math-rock fury for those who appreciate great song writing as much as jaw-dropping technical ability.
