Due to television shows like South Park there has been A LOT of bad press about red heads. Even M.I.A. has made a rather brutal music video to her song Born Free featuring the genocide of redheads. Well, according to South Park, “gingers” are soulless abominations on earth. While South Park’s sentiment towards redheads is a joke what isn’t are all of the talented redheads in the music industry.

Jenny Lewis

Jenny Lewis got her start as a childhood actress even staring in a teen flick with Angelina Jolie called Foxfire. But Jenny is most famous for her pop folk band Rilo Kiley. Her twangy country voice is matched perfectly with the folk style of Rilo Kiley’s music. While her music may not perfectly fit the “rock” category after seeing Jenny perform with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band at Street Scene I can definitely attest to the fact she has the stage presence of a rock star.

Kate Nash

This Brit certainly knows how to write indie pop music. Her songs take you from tapping your foot to her catchy tunes to giggling about the funny scenarios she writes about. On top of that she was named best female artist at the 2008 BRIT Awards.

Aaron Gillespie

Aaron is the former drummer and clean vocalist of Underoath and the lead singer of the Almost.

On top of his music career Aaron runs a clothing company with his wife called Pig Cloth which you can visit here.

Florence and the Machine

Florence and the Machine is what Florence Welsh uses as her performance name. Florence comes from a very educated family. Her mother is Harvard educated and is a professor at the Queen Mary University of London but her music is anything but conventional. Check out her music video for “Cosmic Love” for a surreal journey.

Patrick Stump

Ok Go has undeniably required their fan base from the internet. And what better way to satisfy their audience by putting out spectacular and one-of-a-kind one-take videos on youtube.  We all know them from their first music video, “Here It Goes Again”, which has gotten millions of views on youtube. But these videos will blow those right out of the water. Enjoy these pieces for their song “This Too Shall Pass” off of their latest release.

Most indie music fans hold an unwavering love for the indelible music that flows from Robin Pecknold of the Fleet Foxes and the utterly adorable, Joanna Newsom. Both musicians have carved nostalgic alcoves that separate them from fellow artists by bringing some unique sounds to the music world, even though that seems like a tough feat this day in age. However, the combination of the two folk creators seems like something we could only dream of.

Broken Bells. Heard of ’em? You actually probably have, even if unknowingly. The Shins’ James Mercer and Danger Mouse are joining forces for the highly-anticipated March 9 release of Broken Bells, their self-titled debut album. Although most fans downloaded the leaked album months ago, the release is gaining huge amounts of buzz being recognized as a fusion between the signature Danger Mouse funk and mellow Shins sound. In the fashion of Them Crooked Vultures and Audioslave, the term ‘supergroup’ lives on.
