Gumshen - Hammer and Nails (Directed by Scott Manley)
Gumshen draws upon an eclectic palate of musical styles dishing out a healthy dose of rock, pop and funk/rap. Gumshen sounds like King Crimson and Weezer adopting Elton John, renaming him Prince, and celebrating with a sunbeam of absinthe.

EndAnd - Commando
Disarmingly human noise rock from the heart of Brooklyn, New York, EndAnd have been gaining feverish word-of-mouth lately in the blogosphere with their "Adventures of Fi in Space" CD, and the new music video for "Commando" sums up why.
Band members Daniel Fern (guitars/vocals), Bill Fitzgerald (bass/vocals), and Mike Morales (drums) travel in space alone to communicate the human condition. At the same time painful, aggressive, and sorrowful, yet hopeful, clear, and unwavering, there is no rock or pop posturing here; just music from the heart.
