Who is the best artist right now?
 

I really want to know who people feel is the best new artist around RIGHT NOW. Nothing earlier.

as in, best band who just debuted? in that case, i'll go with grand archives

yeah recently debuted and in recently i mean in like 1-2 years.

well, in that case, i change my answer to band of horses.

Band of Horses debuted back in 05. Anyway my favorite bands of 08 are probably Grand Archives, She & Him, Fleet Foxes and A Weather.

their debut lp came out in 06. i didn't even know that ep existed till just now. fuckin douche.

Yeasayer are pretty good...Justice, Simian Mobile Disco....um...that's about it I think...*fail*

I thought you were all about Black Kids and Vampire Weekend?

Um, Vampire Weekend maybe, but the Black kids? Not so much. I'll wait for the album to make a final decision though...:|

There was an article in SPIN about all these new hype bands it was coupled with an interview with Vampire Weekend I can scan it if anyone wants.
