SXSW 2012... so many bands, so little time. Out of the 1,300+ tracks floating around the SXSW website, here is a snappin' good selection of upbeat indie rock tunes with sing-along choruses and blue sky roadtrip rhythms for you to love with all your heart, and quite a few bands you've never heard of in the mix! Featuring Jukebox The Ghost, The Lumineers, and The Lighthouse and The Whaler.

Out the two thousand or more bands that hit SXSW 2012, these brought lots of rhythm and atmosphere, perfect for fast drives on slick midnight streets shiny with rain. Lots of songs from bands you have never heard of, just how you like it. Featuring Capybara, Ava Luna, and Matthew Dear.

All the music we heard, loved and miss about our SXSW adventure. For our own reasons.

Oh, South By Southwest, you unwieldy music festival, you! So many bands, so little time... Here is a collection of acts performing at SXSW 2012 that share lush orchestrations, glistening harmonies, and lovely melodies. Features tracks by Dessa, Emily Wells, and Bahamas.

Every year, two thousand bands descend upon Austin, Texas, for the annual South By Southwest Music Festival, and every year it's nearly impossible to figure out which bands a person should see or check out on the Internets. This SXSW 2012: Acoustic mixtape sorts through more than 1,300 tracks to highlight some of the very best mellow acoustic music from some of SXSW 2012's best musicians and bands you've never heard of. Featuring Danny Malone, Arborea, and Wild Child.

Here are 48 songs - 2.9 hours - from some of the many, many bands and artists we wanted to see at SXSW but couldn't fit in - Beach Fossils - Of Monsters & Men - Blood Orange - in no particular order

Here's a sample mix tape of some of our favourite tracks and bands that we are looking forward to catching in Austin in March 2012. No 'big names' here but definitely all up and comers!!!

Featuring Grimes, Silver Swans and Class Actress

If I were at south by, I would totally go check out these bands. These are all official showcasing artists
