Pronto

When not playing in his full-time gig with Wilco, New Jersey native-via-Chicagoan-via-Brooklynite Mikael Jorgensen crafts pitch-perfect pop songs under the moniker of Pronto. The full story begins all the way back in 1995, the golden age of indie-rock, when Jorgensen was growing weary of the limitations of pop music. Fueled by healthy amounts of art school cynicism and the post-adolescent desire to create something unique, Movere Workshop was formed in the basement of a house in Leonardo, New Jersey.

Whispertown 2000

This quirky indie pop band is fairly new on the radar. Their perfect blend of acoustic guitar, Morgan Nagler's loveable raspy vocals, and a few shakes of the tambourine mixed with smooth harmonizing achieves a sweet poppy sound. Whispertown 2000's songs are filled with lighthearted melodies, catchy lyrics and harmonies cute enough to make a smile appear without too much guilt.
