Saw 'em open for JTE last year and they well deserved their standing ovation.

I'm a Pitt alum, so, generally speaking, fuck the University of Connecticut. This is cool, though.

Fine, I'll go as far as indie pop, but that's it. Certifiable summer song here (despite the title).

What's that? You want me to recommend a new indie artist? Well, okay, if you insist... this is Exitmusic, a husband-and-wife team from Brooklyn (where else?), and the wife may look somewhat familiar if you're a fan of HBO dramas about Prohibition.
