OK, not crazy about their MySpace tracks, but "Elle s'appelle" is an amazing band name. (It's French for "she calls herself" or "her name is...". Love it!)

And (on a sleep-deprived side note) is it just me, or is there a lot of "little" going on in the indie-music world lately? Elle S'Appelle's song is "Little Flame". Then there's the awesome igLiz-endorsed band Little Name. And Little Fish in the list above.

Any other Littles I'm missing?

How could you forget The Little Ones, with their charming, clappy stompy indie pop? And the original, Rich Little, of course.

I have never heard of any of those bands, so they certainly fulfill that element of being "Fresh Meat," I suppose.

OK, so yes I originally posted this but I am only now really getting a chance to dig into the groups. I am totally loving TEAM WATERPOLO (lichtenstein pop art, catchy tunes and only formed this summer.....)

On to the others.....!

Anyone who thinks naming your band "Ice, Sea, Dead People" is funny/clever needs to be ran over with a steamroller very, very slowly.

I agree with the Grim.

This is a great idea! Zane Lowe can make up a list of 12 bands every month that no one has heard of (seriously, has anyone heard of ANY of these bands?) and if one of them turns out to be the Arctic Monkeys or Franz Ferdinand, Lowe will look like a genius - even if he has a batting average Richie Sexson would laugh at.
