Tiny Masters of Today

The Tiny Masters of Today are a ridiculously awesome Brooklyn duo composed of a twelve year old boy and his ten year old sister. Usually when I like a band this young, it's because of their age and not because of the music. But after hearing thousands upon thousands of adults pouring out recycled riffs, it's really exhilarating to hear kids because they're just playing what they want to play because it's fun, not because of arbitrary societal rules.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are awesome. I hate genres, but I think they're called post-punk. I liked their album Show Your Bones when I got it, but I didn't really get into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs until I found Fever to Tell (their first album). Now they've released an EP called Is Is that is a little bit of a return to their earlier sound with a very subtly more sophisticated edge.
