Hm... You're better off not listening to any of these, okay.

I didn't know someone already made one before.
But, these guys are from the area where I grew up. They're pretty good friends of mine, and they made post rock/shoegaze stuff.

Listen to Kalkaska off of their new album.

Sunlight Ascending's shows blow me away! I beg to differ about them being shoegaze though. Post-rock YES. Shoegaze NO.

Cash Langdon was here in Chicago recently, visiting my friend Daniel, who is from Birmingham.

Yeah his mom chose Chicago as their spring break vacation destination so he had Dan book 2 shows up there for him while he was there. How did the shows go? He's mad talented. Most likely the coolest 16 year old living.

Really the only cool band around me is this band called We Took The Hill (other than a female fronted pop punk band that doesn't have any recordings online)

Nolan released the We Took The Hill tape - http://plasticsmilerecords.bandcamp.com/album/october

They only play shows every once in a while, but I am trying to talk them into doing more because they are a blast live.

YESYESYES! That would be tons of fun. I'm planning on doing some house shows in the Quads in the summer!

(Also, so excited for the 420SCREAMODANCEMARATHONPARTYDAY in Milwaukee! )
