Absolute Debauchery Moved, Depraved Fangirls et. al Rock Sixth Street

(from their description):

Charles Bissell is ¼ of New Jersey indie rock heroes, The Wrens. One man, one amp, and six-ish loops of guitar.

"Having lived and worked together, without any major label funding, for more than 15 years, [The Wrens] have experienced life at the rock'n'roll coal face for longer than might be deemed good for their sanity. They have acquired serious day jobs and families, but have never abandoned their mission to create beautiful songs -as on their acclaimed album The Meadowlands -and then blow them up on stage in a blaze of orchestrated anarchy." – The Times (London), March 8, 2006

Fresh from a UK tour with New York darlings stellastarr*, The Hourly Radio offer Texas-tempered atmospheric pop laden with guitar and tight rhythms. While reminiscent of Austin scenestars Explosions in the Sky and I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Dallas-based The Hourly Radio are eminently accessible with sweet vocals and new perspective on the time-honored themes of love and loss that mark their predecessors and influences.

"More Dublin than Dallas, these four mood-stricken Texas boys create sonic vistas both dark and soaring, intense and uplifting. At their most anthemic, The Hourly Radio share a branch on the musical family tree with any long lost cousins of U2. On the other side of the gene pool, they have recently played shows with the more contemporary peers stellastarr* and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah... Promising, indeed." – FILTER

Pompeii are a richly textured five-piece braiding post-punk bass, layered guitars, aggressive drumming, and strings; filtering emo through the best of the Factory, 4AD, and Creation catalogs. Unabashedly emotional, sincere, and bittersweet.
