Hey guys,

I'm in a Chicago based experimental rock quartet, Bridges of Königsberg. We just released a new album called, Close To Everything and Nothing. I can't post a link but you can get it from our website (pay-what-you-want). It would mean a lot if you gave it a listen!

Also if you're looking for some awesome music from Chicago check out our friends:

Sioum
Opposites
The Paver
Tyler Etters and The Northern Information Movement
Ten-Speed Music (currently in Oregon)
A Light Sleeper
LAKE R▲DIO

All fantastic bands/artists some of which are a part of our collective; Endless Field Studios which has even more music

Cheers!

I recommend my friends' band The Mellowells, some really awesome, upbeat, fun Indie Rock that I can't really relate to anything else, can anyone relate it to something? Maybe the strokes at best?

check em out on band camp!

Oh no! oh my! are a great band not enough people know about. The song our mouths were wet is amazing. Also Born Ruffians, Hockey and menomena I feel like people don't give enough love to.

Faded Paper Figures, especially their album Dynamo.

Probably one of the best voices out there right now. To not be FORMALLY musically trained, the songwriting is damned good.
