NO (Black English) – Leave the Door Wide Open
These guys released an album earlier this year under the band name NO (which is kind of a terrible name because it's impossible to search for) before changing their name to Black English (which is kind of a terrible name because it's kind of a terrible name). So hopefully they keep working the name thing out, but in the meantime, they sound pretty good.
