The Airborne Toxic Event (they've only got one but they're awesome!)
Great pick. I don't know anyone who's even heard of them, so every time I'd be talking about them, no one else would know what in **** I was talking about. "Sometime Around Midnight" is one of the coolest songs by any band from any genre, period!
Another recommendation from me: Any album by Explosions In the Sky...Especially "The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place."
