NGH! 03 - Movers and Shakers
After listening to like 10 mix albums and browsing countless indie websites, I finally chose 5 songs that set need to be heard. After listening to the first 30 seconds of these songs, you'll know what I mean when I saw these songs will get you moving.
You can listen to the songs by clicking the "Listen Here" link. You can find the audio controls on the album cover if you roll over it with your mouse. Try to be patient while it loads.
Sometimes, these artists will put up free downloads on their websites for some of their songs. Just read the captions to see if you can get these songs for free.

The Fratellis - Flathead
These guys are from Scotland and have been around for quite awhile. Why these guys aren't signed by a major record lable is completely beyond me. Pretty much all their songs are as upbeat as the song I posted here. You can download this song by visiting their website (just right click on "flathead" and choose "save link as":

The Joys - Do I
These guys are from Canada and sold 12,000 records independently. The song I chose was originally done by the band under the name "Popjoys". Unfortunately I didn't find any links for free music on their site, but you can check out their site at:

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Me and Mia
Ted Leo and The Parmacists have been making great songs since 1998 and have 10 albums in total. I didn't find a link to free music on their site at:

The Herms - Record Machine
The Herms have so many good songs, it was tough deciding which to put here. I chose Flathead because there is no warmup, you'll get a full on great song right from the beginning. No free music, but check out their cool website at:

Locksley - She Does
The first thing you'll notice about this song, is that is sounds very similar to Jet. Their other songs have a very retro sound to them. Here's their website at:
