David Dondero
David Dondero is a singer-songwriter who currently is on the Team Love Records label. Born in Duluth, Minnesota, June 24, 1969, Dondero started playing music in 1979 as a drummer. He has toured with such acts as Bright Eyes, Tilly and the Wall, Spoon, and Willy Mason. His former projects were Sunbrain, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, and The Flatwheelers. Dondero has been attributed with creating the distressed vocal style which influenced Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes.

The War on Drugs
The War on Drugs weren't much more than a footnote to the Capitol Years until Granduciel self-released the Barrel of Batteries EP, and from there his bedroom band grew into a dense six-piece with two drummers and lots of effects pedals. After someone at the Indiana-based indie label Secretly Canadian heard the recordings, a record deal was quick to follow, and the band's first full-length is due out this spring.

 

The New Motels
"For the past few years now, Scranton's Prison Jazz Records has been releasing some of the better indie rock from the region, such as The A-Sides, The Sw!ms and Okay Paddy. You can now add Jenkintown's The New Motels to that list. Although this foursome has been plugging along since 2003, the band had yet to release anything as promising as Domestic Life, an EP that dropped a few months back. Wilco comparisons have been abundant, and more or less accurate, which can really never be a bad thing. Less quirky and not as overtly pop as some of their better known label mates, The New Motels are the darkhorse of the Prison Jazz imprint." Joe Simek, Philly Edge
