With all the big band adventurism of groups like Arcade Fire, the noodling experimentalism of Why?, and the indie-championing of Ra Ra Riot, Los Campesinos! are the newest in 2008s long line of indie rock saviors, bringing the charm of bands like Pavement and Pixies back to the forefront with a steady mixture of pop sensibilities and punk ethos. Hailing from the UK and armed with a bizarre but subtly heart-warming palette of unique instrumentation, shout-along choruses, and twisting, thought-provoking lyrics, LC! is attacking the end of '08 with a vengeance. The band's got two releases out so far this year with no signs of slowing down for 2009, so lookout world, here they come, give a listen below!

BE YOUR OWN PET FIRESALE
Head on over to the Be Your Own Pet website immediately, because since the group's sad collapse the band's merch site has been offering some crazy deals on not only shirts and buttons but rare vinyls of BYOP merch as well! This is definitely the time to get your hands on the UK only vinyl of Get Awkward, so swing by!
