We first heard of Rogue Wave when they opened for Spoon a few years ago, and though we liked them back then, we had no idea they'd make such gorgeous records. Descended Like Vultures, released last October, is a must-own and with airplay on MTV2, a deal with Sub Pop and tours with Nada Surf and The Shins, they're not our hometown secret anymore.

Listen to "Publish My Love" or watch the video.

Enter to win two tickets to see Rogue Wave, Aqueduct, Octopus Project, Scrabbel @ Bimbo's on Thursday night. (Contest ends Thursday at 2pm. Winner will be notified via email.)

Join us for Noise Pop Happy Hour tonight from 5pm to 8pm hosted by our favorite DJ Ted and Bagel Radio at Thee Parkside. You'll see short acoustic sets and new songs by Hijack The Disco at 6:10pm, Birdmonster at 6:35pm, and The Heavenly Statesat 7pm. Later on we're headed to see Britt Daniel, Spoon's fearless leader, at Swedish American.
