With 2009 fading into 2010, it's time to welcome the 2000's into their Tween years. What awkward trends await as the 2010's try to hide painfully awkward social skills to impress other decades ?
Here at Pulled Pork, with the excitement of a newly magnified indie-world primed to make some great art that will be intermixed with a lot of really bad choices, there is a re-newed commitment for updates. Its time to document that rad pre-teen haircut, 2010's. Put on a smile so we can all see those braces and headgear.
Let's get started with a brief list of some interesting acts for the coming 2010 year.
Fitz and the Tantrums -- bringin' back the MoTown!
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes -- more 50's and 60's beats from the Bay area
Man/Miracle -- a little Yeasayer-esque, some janggly Vampire Weekend, some indie
shouting .. good times ahead
Geographer -- lovin' the low-fi electonica. Check out their single Kites .... let's hope it puts that
Owl City (Postal Service copyrite enfringement) in its place!
Sleigh Bells -- Simple, blunt, and fierce attack of the beat ... and she's a school teacher!
Surfer Blood -- Surfer-pop with an edge ... not your average beack-blanket bingo
Little Comets -- jumpy, janggly, angular, and poppy; sounds way 00's, but adds some new and
interesting textures that are just plain fun
Apes 0f Wrath -- Greasy and all the good parts of basic
Yeasayer -- They've been around the block a bit. But, their impending album seems like it is
generating some Merriweather PP-style buzz ... dont be surprised for a rushed
on-slaught of love early Jan.
For a bonus, here is a brief list of 09's that the 2010's should name-drop, just to prove how
Totally Tapped-In they are ....
Band of Skulls -- Have to say that Baby Darling Doll Face Honey gives me hope for ass-kickin'
Brit blues rock in the coming decade. That album may put them in arenas
early in the coming decade ... (But why they released "I Know What I Am" as the US single is beyond me ... Fires? anybody??)
The Big Pink -- The single "Dominos" will play, one day in the near future, at your local sports
arena ... and every movie about a bachelor party....
The XX -- Will the legend continue to grow as a three-piece band?
School of Seven Bells -- Lets have a contest between members of this band and The Secret
Machines to see who can produce the best record in the coming years! Who wins? Everyone who enjoys good rock music!
Neon Indian -- more lo-fi electronic fun!
Royal Bangs -- Noise with rythym and a purpose ... like a symphony at a demolition derby
The Answering Machine -- Brit pop-punk at its best We Were Promised Jetpacks -- Scots with indie-rock crescendo
