caUSE co-MOTION is a band I've heard a lot about, but have heard little by ("Which Way Is Up?," "Only Fades Away" and maybe a couple others). They have 7" singles but I've been living off student loans since I started college and am almost perpetually broke or speedily approaching it.
They are "garage-y." They're another great indie pop band from NYC. They're fun. Also, their songs are short, which I love. Super pop packed into one to two minutes of frenetic happiness.
There's MP3s on their website, including the aforementioned "Which Way Is Up?" which is really great. I have not had the good fortune to see them play live yet, but look forward to that opportunity coming to me EVENTUALLY.
They have a singles compilation on Slumberland Records, collecting various records on labels like What's Yr Rupture? and some stuff I've never heard of before. They're also on a bunch of compilations with other bands, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
Here's them doing "Who's Gonna Care?" at Death By Audio a little of a year ago:

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
People talk about this band quite a bit right now, it seems to me, so I'm behind on this one. Also, I'm not very good at coming up with things to say, so this is probably going to seem awkwardly blunt.
This is yet another article on a music blog about the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. An indie pop band from NYC who probably remind me of My Bloody Valentine the most (pre-Loveless, most especially EPs like Ecstasy or Sunny Sundae Smile) with their heavy distorted guitars and catchy melodies sung with the enthusiasm of a little kid who just got out of school for the summer and is also in love (but they also have this deep-but-not-too-deep atmospheric sound that goes really well with walking around metropolis in the cold winter).
This is my favorite kind of band, which is the kind that lets me jump up and down over and over again, singing along out loud. My favorite songs? Probably: "Doing All The Things That Wouldn't Make Your Parents Proud," "Everything With You," and "Young Adult Friction."
"Everything With You" is available for download on their Myspace page, along with "Come Saturday," another great one (all of them are great ones). They currently have an EP and three singles and I believe an LP is expected in early 2009 on the ineffable Slumberland Records (can't wait).
Here's them doing "This Love Is Fucking Right":
