Boyhood friends, Derek Papa and Mark Panighetti, create a rare form of Americana noise with an arsenal of instruments and an army of back-up musicians. Based in sunny San Diego, California, Boon Companion always packs a little twang in its beach bag.

Continental

continental

San Francisco’s Continental have a reputation for making smart, cinematic music. Since 1998, the band (Gabriel Coan, Craig Escalante, Mike Eul, Matt Holt, and Brent Kimble) has been exploring and creating some of the Bay Area's best instrumental rock. Their blend of noise, beats, and melody manages the rare feat of being interesting without being pretentious, complex without being cerebral.

Young Corbett

young corbett

U-Dot is distributing the long-lost CD by Young Corbett. The San Francisco band created a nice little buzz in 2000, but then quietly folded before the release of their lone album, "Dos Palos." It's a real shame too, because it's one of the better Bay Area indie rock records of the era.
