Friday summary

I was told it's too hard to scroll through to find the bands so I'll finish up this project with a daily summary. Today is Friday. You can see my custom schedule here.

Here are my picks for Friday. Click to read more about them and listen to a song.

Cults: Good start to the day. Retro/dreamy indie pop.

An Horse: Indie pop from Australia. Reminds me of Teagan and Sara.

Ha Ha Tonka: Americana. KGSR friendly.

Secret Sisters: More Americana. If that's not your thing go check out Wild Beasts, who are mellow a la the National.

Francisca Valenzuela: Chilean pop.

The Cave Singers: Folk/Americana. Cross between Fleet Foxes and Head and the Heart.

Kurt Vile: mellow rock/singer-songwriter.

Charles Bradley: old school soul. Think James Brown/Al Green.

I didn't preview Gary Clark, Jr. or Santigold but you should know them. See Gary Clark, Jr. now before he goes big-time.

Mavis Staples: KGSR friendly.

Kanye West: not KGSR friendly. The anti-Coldplay.
