Indie Music Blog, Live Sessions, and Daily MP3 Downloads.
There’s a nice show in Chicago at The Empty Bottle on Thursday and we have two pairs of tickets for HearYa readers. Shoot us an email at freeshit@hearya.com if you want ‘em and we’ll notify you shortly if you’ve won. It’s worth the price of admission to hear Jessica Lea Mayfield.
This is what the night will sound like.
Jessica Lea Mayfield – We’ve Never Lied

The Annuals are a force to be reckoned with. They’re no strangers to the indie pop music scene, but I finally randomly found them tonight as I meandered through iTunes browsing strangers’ iMixes. Sometimes I’m a laggard on these things.
The Raleigh, NC band produces layered, lush pop songs with a hint of experimentalism. They remind me a little of Arcade Fire at times (but less over the top) or the old Wheat stuff (but brighter). Their most recent EP, Wet Zoo, has 3 great new songs that build off their 2006 release, Be He Me. Look for more from these guys in the coming months. With an EP and single release already this year, they’re poised to take the world by storm when their full-length album, Such Fun (which features a Bob Ross painting as cover art) hits the airwaves on October 7.
In the meantime, take a listen to “Sore” off the Wet Zoo EP and their latest single, “Confessor”. Both are instant classics.
