New bands

So, I'm looking for some new tunes. Anyone with recommendations, please post in the comments.

Here are a couple of groups I've found so far on my search. While I would never encourage you to pirate anything, I've included .torrent files. These are, of course, strictly for use by those who need to format shift, or some other legal purpose.

Black 47, Elvis Murphy's Green Suede Shoes. It's Irish rock, they've written a song against the Iraq war which is actually good (Downtown Baghdad Blues). Found via NPR Studio 360.

The Waco Brothers. They're lead singer is Welsh, they used to play punk rock, then they got into country. Sounds crazy, but it works. They're new album (which is live, so the fact that I'm recommending it should really tell you something) includes another great song about a subject which is usually a graveyard for writers who aren't Woody Guthrie; unionism. Can't find the newest album online, but here are links to To the Last Dead Cowboy (1995) and Cowboy in Flames (1997). Found via Fresh Air.
