Hype Monitor: Hatcham Social, Benjy Ferree and Cynic

January 15, 2009 1:33 PM

Every week, Hype Monitor wades through the most buzzed-about bands all across the Internet to find the ones you need to hear now.

The Band: Hatcham Social
The Buzz: U.K. outfit revives the old sound of Scotland, bringing back clanging chords, loose percussion and loopy vocals.
Listen If: For you, Orange Juice is more than just a morning beverage.
Key Track: "Wild Creatures," where swooping vocals run loop-de-loops around vibrant, violent guitars.

The Band: Benjy Ferree
The Buzz: Weirdo concept rock from D.C., big banging guitars and huff-n-puff vocals, like Broadway gone bonkers.
Listen If: Your chief requirement for pop music is unpredictability.
Key Track: "Dog Killers," a big, noisy rave-up wrapped up in grainy, grimy guitars.

The Band: Cynic
The Buzz: Complex, gorgeous, sprawling metal, silvery guitars tracing long arcs over insistent percussion.
Listen If: Your other Tool shirt is in the wash.
Key Track: "Integral Birth," a marvelous crystal castle that redefines prog-metal one crystalline riff at a time.
