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.

Noon Sunday, Main Stage, 100 Block of West Main Street

Eerie guitar riffs and ethereal vocals blend into peaceful harmony for Norman-based Gentle Ghost.

The band evolved from the mind of Sethy McCarroll, current drummer for Toil and Trouble and bassist for both Student Film and Umbrellas. For his latest project he organized, he put himself on guitar and lead vocals and works as the sole songwriter. The rest of the band was handpicked to complement and tolerate his musical approach and creative style: guitarist and vocalist Brady Smith, bassist and vocalist Scott Harper, pianist (and Oklahoma Gazette music writer) Becky Carman, guitarist Tyler Huskerson and drummer Adam Huskerson.

On its MySpace page, the group describes itself on as "born of artfulness and intent manifested in raucous feedback, sweet melody, visual stimulation and physical strain." For now, McCarroll is keeping his creation semi-off the spotlight, playing mostly small-scale, local shows with the possibility of some regional gigs in the near future.

The group debuted its first album, "Family," last week in a limited release after a live performance during Record Store Day at Guestroom Records in Norman. "Emily Hopkins
