Katie The Pest
I've bored many friends senseless discussing how great I think this band is. They mostly do fantastically-written scuzzy, lo-fi, pop songs, whilst the newest song on their MySpace is just awesome, like the early Arcade Fire demos with NMH trumpets.* Whilst some of the stuff suffers from the dodgy production, most of is great. Especially the song in this video...

They're from California, so this is in no way a JAG.
*This is possibly the lamest, indiest description ever and would totally put me off listening to it. It's late. I apologise.
