History: Alvvays is an indie pop group from Ontario, Canada. They currently have two albums; Alvvays (2014) and Antisocialites (2017). Their music has been described as Jangle Pop or Dream Pop. The band has had several live shows and are still touring around as of this post going up. It's also worth noting that Alvvays is pronounced "Always".
The Scoop: Alvvays is a very cool and unique band that I happened upon while randomly clicking through youtube suggested videos. The first song I found was Archie, Marry Me. I really enjoyed the feeling that the song brought with it. It was almost like going back in time. I purchased the song and listened to it for a couple weeks before seeking more from this group. I was pleasantly surprised to find another song I really enjoyed titled Dreams Tonite. I only listened to this song for a couple days before going and purchasing Alvvays' full discography. There was only one song I didn't end up adding to my playlist after listening to both albums. This band has such a unique vibe that you really can't get anywhere else. I highly suggest listening to the tracks I've embedded below.

Courtney Barnett
History: Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer/songwriter/musician that was born November 3rd, 1987. She has two albums and three EPs in her discography. Her album "Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit" won several awards at the ARIA music awards in 2015 and was nominated for eight categories.
The Scoop: Normally I'm not a huge fan of artists that practically talk during their songs but something about Courtney's style just gets me. The stories she tells through her songs are very relatable and I find them comforting to listen to. Not to mention her songs are extremely catchy and get stuck in my head constantly. It has a good classic indie/alternative vibe mixed with some very unique melodies that jive really well with each other. If you have the time go ahead and listen to the songs I've embedded below. You won't be disappointed!
