Band | Song | Why them | |
01. | Air Traffic Controller | Hurry Hurry | From Boston, produced by Bleu, totally catchy. |

03. | The Rescues | Did It Really Even Matter? | Love this chorus. |
04. | Winterpills | Rogue Highway | Lovely chamber pop. |
05. | David Wax Museum | Born With A Broken Heart | Paul Simon-esque. |
06. | Marina and The Diamonds | Primadonna | Bold, brassy voice. |

18. | Spuyten Duyvil | Freight Train | Love the groove. |
19. | Paul Cusick | Everything | This guy loves Steven Wilson so much, he uses both of his drummers. The feeling is more 90s Rush, though. |
20. | Matthew Perryman Jones | Land Of The Living | Starts slow, but it builds. |
21. | Robby Hecht | A Reckoning Of Us | Red Molly had him sing this at The Barns, and with good reason. |
