Question: Who are the best artists right now that few people have heard of? I have Matt Costa and Augustana, The Be Good Tanyas and Brandi Carlile, Chantal Kreviazuk and The Cloud Room, KT Tunstall and Saving Jane.  How about some other artists or bands that I have to hear?

Answer: How about The New Pornographers (Electric Version and Twin Cinema are there most recent albums)?\n\nThe shins (Chutes too narrow).\n\nThe Postal Service (Give Up).\n\nSufjan Stevens (Illinois & Michigan)\n\nRilo Kiley (More Adventurous)\n\nAll are on independent labels and all are excellent.
