Maritime consists of members of Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan. Chicago's Bound Stems come from different backgrounds, playing pop music founded on secretly complicated rhythmic structures. Male vocals and female harmonies build narratives off scenes summoned by the instruments and by a library of stolen sounds that emigrated to their songs: grandmas, crafty cabbies, trains, party laughter, turnstiles, storytellers and a fieldsworth of crickets. It's approachable music; it sounds like they knocked themselves out, which they did, and it also sounds like a pleasure to dive headfirst into.

Scottish twins Craig and Charlie Reid have been playing together as The Proclaimers since 1987. Their harmony-laden pop brand of Celtic rock draws comparisons to the Everly Brothers, with their 1988 effort, 'Sunshine on Leith,' yielding the hit 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).' Peter Moren, frontman for the breakout indie trio Peter Bjorn and John, is hitting the road on his own in support of his solo effort, 'The Last Tycoon.'
