Pinegrove: Meridian

Valerie
Ushering a flow of smooth indie teen pop that's accompanied by syncopated guitars and sprinkled with rock elements; Meridian is a record that easily creates a good impression. The group responsible for this sweet and melodic compilation is Brooklyn-based quartet, Pinegrove. Even if you might not like it straight away, it's an album that grows on you, slowly embedding itself as it hauls along its lush sound.

There’s no shortage of places to eat, but how do you know which ones are good? Well you can try Urbanspoon, a free app (Android / iPhone) that allows you to search for the best restaurants around you. There are several ways to filter your searches.

Risky Heroes: She Said

Valerie
Describing themselves as a band that draws inspiration from "love and fools," Sheffield's Risky Heroes have a knack for creating that signature indie pop rock sound. The band has been together since 2008 and after two fruitful years, they managed to release their debut EP, Hearts A Pounding. This landed them a UK single deal and a tour from On Records. She Said is their latest compilations, rolling off the presses and offered for free since May 2012.
