Hey crafties,

We're doing a feature called "What you should be listening to and why" for the Music Issue of Snippets. Basically, we need you to suggests bands to listen to with your reasons why.

Here's are some examples to get your creative juices flowing:

"Bat For Lashes because she's the new Bjork, The Silversun Pickups because they are grunge rock with pop sensibilities, Mark Ronson because it's the summer soundtrack, The Smashing Pumpkins because it's the return of the greats of rock and UNKLE because it's what happens when a DJ goes to the dessert for three months and comes back with a rock album." - Graham Neale

"LCD Soundsystem; The Cribs; the Twilight Sad; Willy Mason; Yo Majesty; The Shins; Patrick Wolf; Modest Mouse; Low; Klaxons; Biffy Clyro have all had singles and/or albums out that have blown me away this year." - Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol

Send your tips to writers (at) cutoutandkeep.net.

Thanks,
