You might know, Thieves Like Us from their track, “Drugs In My Body”.  In the vein of fellow compatriots,The Teenagers.  The French need to keep outputting more like this.

Uzi & Ari are from San Francisco

Uzi & Ari - Ghosts On The Windowsill

Statebird is from Ohio, they have this lovely song about love which is part of a 4 song ep they have just released.  You can get your hands on here.

State Bird - I Don’t Love U Anymore

Mardeen is from Atlantic Canada.  Im having trouble placing who they remind me of so I’ll avoid that and just say that they have a radio friendly fuzz pop sound that you should hear for yourself.
