- The Battle of Land & Sea
- Bloc Party
- Conor Obserst
- The Duke Spirit
- Fleet Foxes
- Glasvegas
- Her Space Holiday
- The Kills
- The Lucksmiths
- M83
- Lykke Li
- The Magnetic Fields
- Mercury Rev
- MGMT
- Noah & The Whale
- Friendly Fires
- Portishead
- Primal Scream
- The Raconteurs
- White Lies (or was that 2009?)
- Sigur Ros
- Spiritualized
- Sun Kil Moon
- Those Dancing Days
- Vampire Weekend
