Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Tom Skinner — Tom Skinner

Sincerity is nearly dead in songwriting. The image of the earnest singer with eyes tightly shut and a crack in his voice as he plunges to emotional depths has become a joke.

Tuesday's show at Norman's Opolis marks the first time playing in Oklahoma for the Miami, Fla., indie pop band The Postmarks.
 
Yet the band has ties with Flaming Lips manager Scott Booker and the Edmond-based music label he co-founded, World's Fair.
 
"We just sort of take each city as it comes along and kind of see what kind of riches it has to unveil," said Christopher Moll, chief songwriter.
 
REVIEWS
The band has received several favorable nods from the press, including rave reviews from Pitchfork Media and Spin magazine.
 
"I'm honored by it," he said. "It's something I've been working at a really long time, and it's just kind of shocking that it's kind of coming together the way it is. I'm kind of speechless, appreciative and just hoping that I have the opportunity to keep on doing this."
 
SUCCESS
Success didn't come overnight, however, as Moll has been doing music seriously since the late Eighties. He is 37 now, but he feels that he's at the right age for recognition, whereas a 19-year-old wouldn't know how to deal with the strain popularity produces.
"I don't know if I would have it any other way now," he said. "I'm really a firm believer things are meant to be the way that they happen." "Bryan Mangieri
