Minnesota's The Brutes have cultivated their garage-influenced modern rock for about three years. Songs inspired by artists like The Kinks, David Bowie and The Strokes explore the underpinnings of the human condition, and how just beneath the civilized person lies a savage beast. The band's first self-release, The Brutes EP, included the song "This Science Works For Us", which was featured in the season one finale episode of MTV's The Jersey Shore. The band's follow-up full length album Wonderous Punch is currently on CMJ's Top 200 chart, with a forthcoming tour being planned for the spring. The Brutes on Last.fm.

From last.fm:

Minneapolis-based indie power-pop band Seymore Saves the World is made up of pianist and lead vocalist Scott Hefte (Superdanger), bassist Shawn Neary (Ex-Tapes 'N Tapes), and drummer Nate Perbix. The band writes about the position of outcast teenager and nerd. Pitchfork describes the band's sound as "borrow{ing} a great deal from similarly wry piano-based 1990s pop artists such as the New Radicals or Fastball. However, no influence more blatantly shows through these twelve songs than Ben Folds." Seymore Saves the World on Last.fm.
