Scott: I've had a busy few days. I've seen both the Cursive and the Blood Brothers twice, as well as catching a killer Rainer Maria show in Grinnell, IA earlier tonight. But the band that stole the entire weekend for me? Denali. This atmospheric rock band fronted by Engine Down singer Keeley Davis' sister Maura [and containing members of Engine Down and Sleepytime Trio] kept my eyes and ears glued to the stage for a good 45 minutes or so. Recommended for fans of Engine Down, Elliott, Radiohead, and the like. This track is off the band's upcoming sophomore album coming out October 28th on Jade Tree Records:
Denali - The Instinct

Adam: I've had more than a few people tell me that I've won them over as Clann Zú converts. The band is an Australian / Irish five-piece that mixes celtic instrumentation, electronic percussion, moody goth and a hint of Gaelic vocals. For a more complete description, I'll direct you to my review. This is one of the slower tracks on the record:
Clann Zú - Five Thousand More
Of course, you can just stream the album here.
