    Indie rockers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, from Brooklyn and Philadelphia were touted as the hottest unsigned band in the U.S. in 2005. Their self-titled debut was self-produced, self-released, self-promoted, and self-distributed, with a great deal of help from the grassroots indie blog machine. Rolling Stone championed the cause by heralding the group as 'Hot New Band' for 2005 and by the end of the year, CYHSY signed with U.K. based Wichita Recordings. In 2006, the group, with their new label, leaked out a few EPs before they hit the shelves with their second full-length album, Some Loud Thunder, in 2007. Band members are; Alec Ounsworth, Lee Sargent, Robbie Guertin, Tyler Sargent and Sean Greenhalgh. After the San Diego-based emo outfit Noise Ratchet called it quits in 2004, co-founders Jon Jameson and Brandon Young decided to ditch their punk-influenced songwriting for something more soulful and rootsy. The two left Rick Rubin's American label and joined forces with Matthew Vasquez, Sean Walker, and Kelly Winrich to form Delta Spirit. Pitching their style between the indie rock and alt-country camps, the group issued the I Think I've Found It EP in 2006 and hit the road alongside Cold War Kids and Dr. Dog. A self-released full-length effort, Ode to Sunshine, followed in 2007.
