As with The Junior Boys, Fitz & the Tantrums aren't necessarily new to the music scene, but as an emerging band, they're most likely still new to most people. Deriving from Los Angeles, this seven-piece band already has two albums under their belt. Their mix of Motown with Indie Rock is definitely catchy. Listen for yourselves!

This Canadian Indie Electric Pop duo have actually been around for a few years now, and have a handful of albums under their belt, but since they are new to me, I assume they may just be new to you too. In skimming through their releases, it was actually hard just to choose one single to post here. "Parallel Lines" was released off their latest album Begone Dull Care, and has a sound similar to something you'd hear in Nine Inch Nails.

And if you dig that, then I'd also recommend checking out their video for "In the Morning."

Hailing from Denmark, Nanna Øland, or Oh Land to you, is one of the slew of eccentric, female singer-songwriters (à la Little Boots, Lykke Li, and Florence + The Machine) to grace the music scene. But as all those ladies have managed to find a voice of their own, so has Oh Land. No word yet on a debut album, but check her out in her first video for "Sun of Gun."

It's hard to go wrong when your producer is Pharrell Williams. Chiddy Bang are an Alternative Hip Hop duo from Philadelphia, with a debut album dropping next month titled Chiddy Bang: The Preview. If their first single, "The Good Life," is any indication of things to come, expect to hear a lot more of these two in the months to come!

Stumbled across this British songstress today, and was quite taken by her music, which currently only consists of two officially released tracks, including this one for the song "Louder." Sounds pretty solid for a debut offering, don't you think? I know I'll be looking forward to hearing more from Katy B!
