Brooklyn’s Late Cambrian is our new Artist of the Week. No strangers to the OurStage community, this three-piece rock combo has seen several placements at the top of our fan-ranked charts, as well as in the overall Best of the Best, and they first won the opportunity to appear at Maine’s KahBang Festival (to which they’ve been invited back repeatedly by festival organizers) as a result of their popularity on OurStage.
We’ve been psyched to see them grow from an undiscovered gem into one of the more fast-emerging bands on the independent scene. Their video and single Ryan Gosling was a minor hit, securing serious international airplay. The band has toured relentlessly and, having just performed a showcase at New York’s CMJ festival, is headed out on the road again this fall, supporting Wheatus.
In an era when pop-rock bands are so often disposable carbon copies of each other, Late Cambrian breathes new life into the genre. The songs are smart and catchy, the sound is jittery, angular, and immensely danceable “ yes, a rock band you can really move to. This year’s LP, Peach, expanded the band’s palette to great effect, adding more complex arrangements and lofty atmospherics to the core elements of chiming guitars, driving rhythms, and smooth harmonies. Gone are the obligatory, sometimes obvious nods to Weezer and other ˜90s power pop godfathers, and in their place is an original and clever synthesis of influences that ends up sounding like nothing but Late Cambrian; like nothing but now. Check out the video for Ryan Gosling, as well as fall tour dates, below.

The 2nd winner in our yearlong Ernie Ball Save Your Strings Competition has been selected. For phase one, with your help, we found a great, undiscovered pop act, Biscuits & Gravy. This installment of the competition was a hunt for the top rock band, and the winner is¦ Pennsylvania’s The Jellybricks.
The Jellybricks aren’t exactly an out of nowhere band of newcomers. In 2012, they released their fifth album, Suckers. They’re a road-tested working band who have been lauded by Rolling Stone and SiriusXM’s Steven Van Zandt. The last few years have found the band honing their sound, and evolving away from pure power-pop and toward something new, with elements of ˜70s glam and vintage garage (no wonder Little Steven was hooked). But it still circles back to the basics “ undeniable melodies, crunchy guitars, and killer harmonies.
Check out the winning track, Rock ˜n’ Roll Suicide, to hear what convinced the Ernie Ball judges to award The Jellybricks with a year’s supply of strings and accessories, plus a chance at the Grand Prize “ an Ernie Ball endorsement and a Music Man guitar for each player in the band.
Next up is our Save Your Strings Country edition, and then Ernie Ball will select the big winner from among the three genre winners.
