So I have to ask you, are you the type of music fan that happily laps up whatever the charts are serving? Or, are you the type that loves nothing more discovering a great new band that not many people know about yet? If you fall into the latter category, I have a incredible tip for you. Ready for it?
From Paris, Televox sound thoroughly modern with the tiniest tinge of mid 90's rock (the good kind). The only way I can describe them to you is for you to imagine that Ok Computer had a little more of the guitar-y goodness of The Bends. I don't want you to get the idea that Televox are just another Radiohead rip-off. They're not. Far from it. But there's no denying the fact that if you like one, you'll probably enjoy the other.
How this band escaped all the usual music blog hype and music discovery apps out there is beyond me. Don't bet on them being so unknown for very much longer because they have "it" in spades.
Graciously, the band have made several of their tracks available for download (free) through their Myspace page. Check out 'Angels', and the deceptively titled 'Merry X-mas', both hugely satisfying tunes mixing hooky guitars and sonic puncuations in all the right places.

What next?More by Televox? More up and coming? More rock, or indie?
