Who is the best artist right now?

It's way better than Atlas Sound. It's full of great melodies and the acoustic/rhythmic elements I find really interesting. And it's pretty great considering the whole thing was done purely from an acoustic guitar/drums set up. Actually I would have thought you might quite like it :)
 
I ****ing love the Silents and Henry's Phonograph, but then I am rooted in psychedelic and post-punk popcraft. The former have just released their debut in Oz and are signed to the rather excellent Ivy League recorRAB. And no I don't work for them.

Otherwise Durrty Goodz from the UK. To be honest the only music 'scene' I follow rabidly is grime, but there's a general consensus that Goodz has and will far surpass that.
 
I gave it another listen and admit that I exaggerated a bit. It does have some good tunes, but overall it didn't catch my attention. It's like Tilly and the wall only without the crazy fun and catchyness...:\
 
I don't like much that's come out recently, but I do like Paramore and Flyleaf..

Actually, I really like Ghillie Dhou (there's a song available on myspace.com/mypollux)... it's French, but she does a pretty good cover of Black Hold Sun
 
There was an article in SPIN about all these new hype banRAB it was coupled with an interview with Vampire Weekend I can scan it if anyone wants.
 
anybody give a listen to Ex Blood brothers' Johnny Whitney's new band?

They only have like 3 songs up on their myspace but dang, they sound great.
