I will second Jennifer’s Emergency reccomendation, and throw another good, newish local band into the mix… Siberian. I wrote about ‘em in the Underage column this coming week, and you should give ‘em a listen if you’re into pretty and lush melodic pop.

You can check out a few songs at www.siberianmusic.com. The band is also playing the Beth Ditto benefit on the 31st at Neumo’s with Pretty Girls Make Graves. The show is all ages.
