IndianGiver — Plafond EP

If you were to peruse the “About” section of IndianGiver’s Facebook page, you’ll notice how the instruments attributed to each of the Oklahoma City band’s five members are described with downright flippancy: Dylan Jordan plays “sticks & animal skins,” while Jazzton Rodriguez earns his keep with “shanties & loud noises,” and so on.

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.

Nashville Pussy doesn't want to be taken seriously

Blaine Cartwright, lead singer and guitarist for Nashville Pussy, said, "I consider us a pretty juvenile band. Mature means better to some people; to me, it's just like maybe you're starting to be boring."

Atlanta's Nashville Pussy is far from boring. If anything, the band goes out on a limb to produce interesting testaments to deep-fried Southern rock, where sex and drugs are applauded in song.

"I'd hate anyone to take us seriously. That would be kind of scary," he said. "They'd be crazy anyway to take us seriously."

CURRENT TOUR
On its current tour, Nashville Pussy plans to stop in cities that the band rarely sees, including a stop in Oklahoma City.

"It's been one of those places that we don't want people to think we're avoiding it," Cartwright said. "I'm from a small town in Kentucky, and I know what it's like to have bands not come to your town, and I look forward to coming back (to Oklahoma)."

NEW ALBUM
Fellow members " drummer Jeremy Thompson, bassist Karen Cuda and lead guitarist Ruyter Suys " are in the process of working on ideas for a new album tentatively to be released in 2008.

Suys is also Cartwright's wife, which he said is a rewarding experience.

"It's better than having to call home and get in trouble for things she thinks you're doing," he said. "Now she can just see what I'm up to and get mad at me there in person." "Bryan Mangieri
