Just over a year ago we introduced you to The Collective, a small group of kindred spirits in the Pacific Northwest music scene, made up of Artist Home, The Warehouse and us. And hopefully, The Collective and our quarterly “Best of the New” Showcase has introduced you to a few of your favorite artists. These free showcases, highlighting hand-picked bands by each of The Collective’s members, are held to introduce promising bands to a larger audience and to encourage those bands that people are indeed listening and loving them. Past Best of the New picks have included Lemolo, Bryan John Appleby, Land of Pines, Youth Rescue Mission, The Solvents and Fort Union — names you’ve hopefully become much more familiar with since their showcase sets.

With Best of the New Four just around the corner it’s time to introduce you to four new bands that there’s reason to believe you’ll be hearing lots more from in the coming months. We here at Sound on the Sound are especially excited because on November 3rd we’ll also be being introduced to these bands as well. We’ve only had the pleasure of seeing Ben Fisher, our pick (a stand-out picker himself) live before.
