I'm fortunate enough to manage an independant record store, and I can't recall a time in the past when so many bands I was excited about were from within fifty miles of me.

These are not "local acts", these are some very talented musicians on the way up. I'm not farking around - if you've got sound on your computer, you must check these bands out*:

The Esther Caulfield Orchestra
