When Ira Glass of NPR’s This American Life write a band’s bio – you know something big is afoot. Something like the OK Go releasing albums on their own label! To follow-up the re-release of their last studio album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, OK Go is about to release an amazing live compilation titled 180/365. For all music lovers – this album is a must have! And we’re giving you a sneak peak on our Artists to Watch program. Listen to live versions of Skyscrapers and All is Not Lost on this month’s program.

Besides showcasing music from a world-renowned band that has over 50,000,000 YouTube hits – we are proud and honored to feature music from 2 bands that should definitely be on your summer music play lists. Before The Lonely Forest caught the attention of NYLON and TEEN VOUGE, they had hooked Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie. He loved their music so much that he signed them to his private record label Trans. They’ve been touring with Death Cab, The Joy Formidable and are about to go out with Two Door Cinema Club. Don’t miss them when they pass through your town so that you can say you saw them before they were mega-stars. But first, take a listen to their hit single We Sing In Time.

Speaking of bands rocketing up the charts – the LA based Foster the People have been getting the attention of critics and fans. They were darlings of the South by Southwest Music Festival and they are about to wow audiences at Lollapalooza. If you haven’t heard them on the radio, take a listen to their pop anthem Pumped up Kicks and learn for yourself why some critics compare them to Duran Duran!
