Glass Candy: "Warm in the Winter"
Could Portland become the next Brooklyn? Maybe. They already think they invented food trucks and the meme "Keep ____ Weird", so why couldn't they have invented indie rock as well? Smug pretense aside, there is a veritable shitload of great bands coming out of the Pacific NW right now, and not only is Glass Candy signed to Italians Do It Better (this year's Mexican Summer, for those of you who don't read your Hipster Runoff) but I just noticed they put out an album called Geto Boys in 2009. The Geto Boys had a song called "Read These Nikes". Nike is based in Beaverton, a suburb of Portland. Coincidence? Yes, absolutely.
