The band of the month is based on activity on the site over the month and by votes cast by readers of the blog over 7 days. With the top twenty spots comprising music from eleven different countries, there is no great surprise that the music is as diverse as the geography.

Lynn Stein and Jon Burr got together over the summer and decided to try out a concept that is a little different using just a bass and vocals and have created something of a phenomenon. Their ever growing fanbase appreciate the way in which Jon and Lynn have been able to improvise comlicated pieces to develop what is becoming a distinctive sound, with the clarity of Lynns voice and the accomplished bass picking by Jon. Having covered a few pieces, the indie bands blog was given an early listening to some of their original compositions, which went down particularly well with a large section of readers of the blog.
