I stumbled across these guy about 6 months ago when I heard some stuff off their 1st EP. Since then Dragonette has been hard at work on their debut album Galore. Let me just say their hard work has paid off in spades! The album is a brilliant gem of Electro / Pop / Rock. Lead vocalist, Martina Sorbara, and the rest of the band (which includes her husband, guitarist Dan Kurtz, drummer Joel Stouffer and guitarist Will Stapleton) sound like what No Doubt could have evolved into had Gwen decided to bring some of her solo sound together with the rest of her band mates instead of putting out that dreadful second LP.
But I digress.
Sure she's wicked hot, but I spy a couple extra stems!
Give a listen to these few tracks and let me know what ya think!

A great re-working of the track I put out on "Go! Fight! Win!"

Which leads me to my next little bit of retro pop goodness!
The track "The Boys" is actually a cover (albeit a fantastic, perhaps better than the original cover, hell she even gives him a shout out before the track kicks in with " I even like those scrawny, Scottish, into pop music but not like sorta like pop dance electro music") of a track from Scottish hipster extraordinaire Calvin Harris. Harris' debut album I Created Disco was released in the UK on 6/18/07 and sounds like a cross of LCD Soundsystem and something off of the Revenge of the Nerds soundtrack. That is by no means a put down. The record is full beats to make your head bob and '80s-tastic blips and beeps that might just have you doing the robot.
Check him out.

Check out the video for The Girls
(Sure, he kinda looks like a tool, but at 6'5" and with a Scottish accent, I couldn't care less.)
Enjoy.
