Interview: Ruby Isle – It’s So Easy (GnR Cover) TSOI Exclusive
TSOI pretty much only features bands that we really dig. Dan Geller is the mastermind behind the influential Athens, GA based label kindercore and a member of two bands that we absolutely revere: I Am The World Trade Center and his current band, Ruby Isle. (More...)
Generationals – Trust
Although Generationals debut record and debut Los Angeles performance didn't make my Top 10 last year, I really enjoyed both. They are back with their second release, a 4 track EP being lead by this ridiculously good track, "Trust." (More...)
Alex Winston – Choice Notes (The Remixes)
Earlier this year I extolled the greatness of Alex Winston's track "Choice Notes". Since then, the minions of the interweb have caught on and I now have found 3 new remixes of the track. Though none of them come even close to the excellence of the original (More...)
Eux Autres – Go Dancing
The brother and sister team of Eux Autres are back with a brand new record coming out at the end of November. They have added a bassist and drummer to the lineup but still have managed to keep the same '60s pop sound that first caught my ear. (More...)
TSOI On Vacation
Despite the best laid plans to have a week's worth of posts ready to go, time got away from me so you'll have to wait a week for your indie fix. In the meantime, hopefully the archives will tide you over. Don't worry about me, I'll be busy hanging with Drew Brees, Brett Favre and Quintron. (More...)
Vic Godard – Blackpool

With a musical style varying wildly from release to release, I've always found myself attracted to Vic's jazz standards-esque songs from the early 80's. (More...)
Aluminum Group – Love Action (I Believe In Love)
Yesterday was the legendary decision that California's Prop 8 ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. People here in Los Angeles are celebrating it in different ways. Some are going to parades, some are eating vegetables longer than 2". I decided to do the most gay thing I could think of, listen to the entire Aluminum Group discography. (More...)
Alex Winston – Choice Notes
I have a soft spot for anything that's '60s pop or soul and sung by a female. This amazing track by Alex Winston sounds like it could have come out on any of the many Motown-influenced labels back in the day. She captures the exact flavor of '60s soul but with an updated sound. (More...)

Keepaway – Yellow Wings
Here in Los Angeles it's finally hit 80+ degrees two days in a row, so I declare summer has finally started. And with the start of summer, I gotta find my summer jam. Fortunately this track from Keepaway fits the bill perfectly. (More...)
