I need YOUR help
 

Seeing as I'm mostly busy during the weekdays, I don't have much time to find new artists. Would you help me find some bands that sound like these?

Matt Pond PA
Rilo Kiley
Metric
Decemberists
Owen
Braid
Vermont
Maritime
Volcano I'm still excited
The Gloria Record

The bottom 5 bands are really good if you haven't heard them. Help will be appreciated.

Some of these are far fetched but give 'em a try
Matt Pond PA- Try Guided By Voices, AM/FM, Beulah, Ambulance Ltd, The Capitol Years, or Earlimart.

Rilo Kiley- Try The Elected (also on SubPop), Mercury Rev, Blonde Redhead, Magneta Lane, or Sarah Dougher/The Crabs.

Decemberists- Mmm try Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, Trembling Blue Stars, Arab Strap, Hood, Quasi

Braid- Cap'n Jazz/ Joan of Arc, No Knife, Hey Mercedes, The promise ring, Jawbox, Sunday's Best/ The Jealous Sound
(Owen- American Football {which you probably already are aware of the connection there}. try East River Pipe, Elliot Smith, Lou Barlow, or Archer Prewitt)

Metric- Try Magneta Lane, New Pornographers, Guided By Voices, Imperial Teen, Russian Futurists, Freezepop, or Robots in Disguise

I haven't heard of the last four. I'll check em out though

rilo kiley - try Eisley? probably already heard of them though. also, try Tegan and Sara if you haven't already.
