Soundcloud Artist of the Week: Oblio and Arrow

Each week, I will be featuring an unsigned/independent artist that I discovered on Soundcloud. I will play a song from them during the new music hour at 6:30 on my show that week, and will write a bit more about them here. 

Oblio and Arrow is a band out of Chicago, started by lead singer/songwriter Matthew Kopecky in 2009.  They play a very melodic style of indie rock that has a unique sound. Check them out if you like Vampire Weekend or The Arcade Fire. They released their debut album Thank God For Photons in 2011 and will have more new music out soon. Here are a few tracks from that album:

Soundcloud Artist of the Week: Lux Lisbon

Lux Lisbon is a band out of the U.K. They have a very melodic alt-rock sound with strong vocal harmonies, and they list The Killers, Bloc Party, Bruce Springsteen, and Dog is Dead as influences.

I disovered them through TVD500, a contest run by The Vinyl District that would award the winning band with 500 7" vinyl copies of their single pressed for free, in which they were a Top 5 finalist. They didn't win, but their song was my favorite out of the ones in the running.

Below, you can stream their latest EP, Get Some Scars.
