Band Name:  Hippo Campus
   
 
Song Title:  South
   
Band Description:  Hippo Campus are four young Minnesotan boys, together collecting the falsehoods of memories and the illusion of growth. A brotherhood of bothered consciousness, bursting with the passive resurrection of awareness and the abandonment of regulations. The lake-smitten lads base their musical endeavors on the ever-elusive halocline, a misperception of air found within a body of water. Screaming testimonials against the hypocrisy of ourselves, the energetic, near-danceable indie tunes they produce stride hand-in-hand with an underlying ...

Band Name:  Daniel Erickson & Networth
   
 
Song Title:  Figurine
   
Band Description:  Daniel Erickson, with the aid of Networth—yes one word, released their first LP Negative Eyes in December of 2012. Since then it has been like a hunt for the illusive jackalope to see these guys perform live, mainly because they immediately went back into the studio to work on their up and coming 2nd LP. If you enjoy rocks, become a geologist, if you enjoy music, go out searching for these four jackalopes.
