This group of four has come a long way in a year, and are definitely a band to keep an eye on in 2012. \n\nwww.reverbnation.com/animalfactory\n\nSuns (ex Wax On Radio) - Suns hum with a sound bigger than all outer space. A band formed out of Chicago's golden boys Wax On Radio and They Found Me They Named Me, Suns are the latest addition to the lineage of huge, unruly music. Suns employ a wide array of instruments to ensure the authenticity of their dark, drunk and desperate American sound: mandolin, glockenspiel, rhodes electric piano, various noise machines evoking the sound of demons clawing their way out of hell, clarinet, banjo, harmonium and a bowed guitar reminiscent of Jimmy Page's dead son drifting in limbo are all skillfully pulled together into tight little slabs of carefully arranged avalanches. Suns took their controlled chaos out of the basement and debuted in January 2010 at their hometown's hallowed Metro. Shortly after, Suns crashed Austin's coveted SXSW Music Festival and they have been tearing up joints with regularity ever since, including headlining slots at Chicago's Double Door, Schubas and Lincoln Hall. Not ones to stunt momentum, June 2010 saw the release of two EPs on one CD - two different moods, two different recording studios, two different EPs - entitled Close Calls in The U.S. Space Program/The Howl And The Many. Despite the initial befuddlement that a 2-in-1 release brought, critics have been buzzing about the sound of Suns\n\nhttp://www.facebook.com/sunsband\n\nCut & Run - Nowadays, deciding to be a punk band runs you and your friends the risk of being embarrassingly labeled as an emo band. But having been around in some way shape or form since the early 00's, Cut and Run seems to have dodged a bullet in that department. Drawing influences from the resurgences of folk, east coast pop-core, and your basic run of the mill Fat Wreck band of the mid 90's has their fans and close friends reaching for comparisons.. The Lawrence Arms sleeping with 88 Fingers Louie in 1998. Hot Water Music crammed in a blender with Kid Dynamite, or my personal favorite, a man who gargles with thumbtacks talking in his sleep. "There was no goal, just to make fun music that had matured about as much as we had since highschool." -Derek&Run. Keeping in close ties with friend and producer Dan Precision (88Fingers Louie, Rise Against) has kept most of their recordings above par with the local music scene, and also helped to keep that original chicago vibe going for them. With over 17 shows in less than 9 months of existence, booming college radio play, and several featurings in local papers, its likely that they'll have you saying "I liked their older shit better" before they even have new shit to complain about. -Abraham Lincoln\n\nhttp://www.myspace.com/cutandrunmusic
