Formed in 2004, Band of Horses is an American indie rock band from Seattle, Wash. The band has been gaining popularity ever since its debut album "Everything All the Time," released in 2006.

Its latest CD "Cease to Begin," is filled with more subdued tracks that center around the psychological troubles of lead singer Ben Bridwell.

The new tracks have the powerful originality that made Band of Horses famous, but also incorporate a more country-folk sound, which result in an amazing folk-rock album.

Parkway Drive is a metalcore band from Australia. Similar to bands such as Hatebreed and Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive became famous by playing on hardcore tours such as Taste of Chaos.

Although many hardcore bands have become softer over the years, Parkway Drive has not let up since their formation in 2003.

Its most recent album "Horizons," released Oct. 6, is filled with double-bass and intense vocals sure to satisfy the hardcore fan but intimidate many indie-rockers.

Radiohead

Album: "In Rainbows"

Label: None

Genre: Alternative rock

Formed in 1986, Radiohead is the epitome of British '90s rock. Radiohead released "OK Computer" in 1997, which many fans consider the best album of that decade.

After years of international fame, Radiohead is releasing their seventh studio album, "In Rainbows." Although the album has a more symphonic sound to it than previous releases, it still retains the legendary melodic rock qualities Radiohead is known for.

"In Rainbows" is also attracting attention due to the fact that customers may officially download the entire CD for whatever price they desire. A deluxe boxed version is also available for shipping in December.
