The Age of Rockets
With their second album, Hannah, this New York group took their music to new heights. When singer Andrew Futral isn't experimenting with new melodies, he's offering his producing skills to up-and-coming musicians, answering questions on their MySpace and actually trying to put on shows where the fans ask him to.
