I have this thought Wintersleep might, because they're the most like what I hear on the radio here that I can think of.
Wintersleep's song 'Oblivion' seemed to have crept its way into the "Alt-Rock" stations within the past year-year and a half. I'm glad to see them finally get some exposure though, while I enjoy it, I always thought it made a poor single and it was released in '07, not even their most recent work.

I'm also pleased to hear bands like Metric and Tegan and Sara getting more airtime.

Nice thread, Alfred. Non of these groups came as a surprise to me, haha. All very deserving.
