Here's the first batch of largely unknown bands I want to introduce you to, give them a little more exposure and hopefully get them some play somewhere. Needless to say, they will or have already been featured on my radio show.
1) TeamNate - Contact List EP
I came across this band randomly in a music forum I lurk in and love their style. The band is from Ohio and play a crisp and dark style of snyth pop. Their new EP is out on the Pretend record label and the band is offering the EP streaming on their website, which you can listen to here.
Check out this video they made too.
Their website is here.
2) MaQlu - Blood EP
Hailing from Vancouver, BC, MaQlu play a dark, proto-industrial electronic style that appeals to me greatly. Not enough dark electronics are made today, most of it made today is too happy or too technical. They have their first EP, Blood, out now and will be releasing another EP called Black very quickly. You can download some nice freebies here.
Their website is here.

3) Suuns - Zeroes QC
Montreal's Suuns are one of the more interesting bands I've heard in a while. They do a noisy mix of drone rock and post-punk. They merge elements of bands like Kraftwerk, Sigur Ros and Wire into a nice stew of noises. Their first album, Zeroes QC, is just now out on Secretly Canadian Records.
Check out their music and videos on MySpace
Hi there Steve - thanks for the mention! :)
