The Black Angels - I'm starting the hype right now
Straight from the Austin music scene, this band of 7 has been hogging most of my CD time the past couple of days. Dark Psychedelic droning that is simply irresistable so far. They released a four song EP last year on Light In The Attic records and have a full length slated for April 11 on the same label.
KEXP has been doing it's share to turn people on to this band and I have them to thank for my introduction. The did an in studio set with 7 music tracks that I grabbed on Dime A Dozen and it's amazing. RIYL Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Secret Machines but it's different in some unique ways. The drumming is tribal but this time it's closer to home, Native American Indian influences. When combined with the fuzzy guitars churning out bluesy riffs you're left with something not entirely new, but different enough to be able to enjoy completely.

Wow! And you got 52 hits already!
Hey, I'll have to check them out based on your description. I guess their website is the place to go for now, but you're telling me a four song EP is hogging most of your cd time? They must be four really good toons dood.
