Ben Gibbard's got some nice new solo acoustic stuff, and his bands (deathcab for cutie, and the postal service) also need to be checked out.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!

If you try to search for The Orphans you'll find nothing but cheesy 80's punk music. This song is on their album but is really an Erik Petersen song. He was their guitar player but after they broke up he went on to make folk music under the name Mischief Brew. So search for Mischief Brew


Against Me! kind of suck now, they started doing really generic pop-rock kind of stuff, their first few EP's and first two Albums are really really incredible. One of them is a 6 song acoustic EP, that this song is from.



If you haven't heard Slightly Stoopid's acoustic album its really good!



This band isn't around anymore.




And finally, BOTAR, the acoustic 12 piece sideproject of Tom from Streetlight Manifesto


and one more Erik Petersen song because he's just that good, from his most recent album
