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.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

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.

Although many might recognize the California-based indie-rock band Pinback because of a song they did for Fox network's teen television drama "The O.C," the themes the band explores in other tunes might take more than a prime-time slot to fully understand.

Pinback co-founder Rob Crow said being an endorsement for a large corporate entity isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"Having a song on a television show that I don't watch isn't really that evil of a thing because I'd ask friends, 'Like, hey, do you know this show?' And they go, 'Oh, I love that show.' 'OK, you can use it.' It's not like they're gonna take my song, you know, and slaughter cattle with it."

CONCERT
The twosome will be in Oklahoma City Friday for a performance with drone-metal band OM at the Bricktown Ballroom.

Crow said that music is his only job, and while for some, that may sound like a dream come true, there can be snags in realizing this goal.
