Artist Spotlight

Cavedoll is a prolific band with almost 250 songs uploaded to their Broadjam profile! To quote www.NPR.org, "Cavedoll is prolific, almost to the point of absurdity. The neo-new wave group has released 13 albums in the past year. At the root of it all is the hyper-active imagination of frontman, Camden Chamberlain. For Cavedoll's latest release, No Vertigo, Chamberlain and the rest of his band serve up a hip-shaking burst of feel-good energy, inspired by '80s synth pop, electronica and punk.”

Check out their stuff here:
