New Music From Zero 7

872889249_lNot much attention has been given to London band Zero 7 since they received all kinds of new fans after their song “In the Waiting Line” appeared on the Garden State soundtrack. Many years after that success, the band is still going strong and would probably rather forget about the band wagon fans they made back then. Regardless, Zero 7 are prepping a new LP entitled Yeah Ghost set to be released September 8th. First taste of the new album “Everything Up (Zizou)” is available below and features the vocals of Eska Mtungwaz.

FT5: Hot Ladies Of Indie Rock

0612top5coverI think you all knew that ATH would go here at some point and alas today is the day that I take the leap and display our true male hormone driven selves with a top 5 about the hot ladies of indie rock.  I won’t beat around the bush here, this post has little to do with the musical talents of these ladies, and more to do with how they drive me crazy with their good looks.  I promise not to offend anyone and also promise that these women have made my list because they are empowered and musically talented women who also just so happen to be pleasing on the eyes.  I love them all and would probably just turn into a bumbling idiot if they ever actually spoke to me…  You will see a lot of familiar faces on the list and probably take issue with some big names being left off.  I love you too Feist and Neko, just not quite enough for you to break into my Top 5.  If you really wanted to mess me up, you should have gotten to me sooner!  Follow the jump for our full top 5 breakdown.
