The Dead Trees - World Gone Global

Being a bit of a tree hugger type, I have to say I was almost put off by the band's name.  Luckily I decided to find out more and their latest album, Whatwave, is a really good listen.

is a great example of what you can find on there.  Another interesting fact is that is was entirely funded by donations to a fund-raising website ($17,000 of donations in fact).

The band formed in 2006.   They have moved around a bit having started off in Boston before relocating to Portland and are currently based in Los Angeles, .  If you like the Strokes (and they have supported Albert Hammond Jr on tour recently) you will like this band.
