They've slowly been creeping up my list of favorite artists, and might just have taken the lead. The girl singer, Greta Salpeter, has the most amazing vocal range I've ever heard in my life! They're a classy, pop-punk band under either the Fueled by Ramen label, or Decaydance records; I don't know which.
You could go to Wikipedia to find out the rest of their bio, so I'm not going to waste time copying and pasting. What I am going to do is rave about why I love them so much!
Their music is beautiful and complicated, with haunting melodies and catchy choruses. I don't know how to put my finger on it, but their songs, especially off of their "Like Vines" album, remind me of the Mediterranean countries; with vines and villas and grapes.
If you are new to the tidal wave of awesomeness that is The Hush Sound, you should watch some of the below videos and see what I mean!

"Wine Red"
Arguably their most famous song, before "Honey" came out anyway.

"Molasses"
I think this one might be my favorite song that they do.

"The Boys Are Too Refined"
This one has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it.

"Hurricane"
One of their softer songs, sung beautifully!

"You are the Moon"
I think this was the first song I heard from them.
If you watched all of those videos, you are awesome! If you only have time to watch one, then you're simply not going to get the full picture.
They are an extremely talented new band, and I hope they get really really famous, it would be a waste of incredible musical prowess and skill if they didn't.
