“My Propeller“, the 3rd single off Arctic Monkeys‘ latest album, the 2009 released “Humbug“, will get released next Tuesday. Until then though, I came across the B-side for the single, a brand new AM song titled “The Afternoon’s Hat“. I really like the somewhat nouvelle direction the band have taken with their new album, embracing [...]
One of my favorite Danish up and going bands, Oh No Ono, just released their third studio effort, titled “Egg”, an album bristling with tight synth lines and pop goodness. Today, Caribou released an incredible remix of “Eleanor Speaks”, the opening track for Oh No Ono’s Egg, which totally turned the original at 180 degrees [...]
The Glen Rock, New Jersey five piece of Titus Andronicus have made a name for themselves across the years for delivering indie rock with an actual attitude. The band’s debut record, titled “The Airing of Grievances”, was released in 2008 and was immediately met with highly positive reviews. It was loud, heavily distorted in sound, [...]
The jovial Canadian eight piece band are set to release their fifth full length studio album “Together” in early May, and as a very sweet appetizer I’d like to invite all of you to sample their latest song “Your Hands (Together)”. It’s a typical Pornographers track - catchy hooks, pop friendly chorus and power chords. [...]

[MP3] Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - ‘The Mighty Sparrow’
Like in the case of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” and “Boyz” orVampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa”, the smashing simple of the year’s first quarter, Yeasayer’s “Ambling Alp”, has been turned 180 degrees by The Very Best who left their distinct electro-funk imprint on it. The original vocals have been scrapped altogether and replaced by Esau [...]
Because the Drive-By Truckers make great music to drive to. (I presume. Being a half-blind halfwit, I’m stuck with public transport for now. [But mostly because, pun.])
I’ll come clean immediately, because I may have misled you slightly: you can’t actually buy the Drive-By Truckers. But, wonderfully, you will be able to buy their new album, [...]
Just found out that Toronto post-punk four piece Little Girls tackled and covered “10 Mile Stereo”, one of the gems off Beach House’s recent new phantasmagoric new album “Teen Dream”. The song is perfectly layered and faithfully covered, despite being dazed with Little Girls’ signature lo-fi/haunting sound, which makes 10 Mile Stereo feel like an [...]
“Welcome to the magical world of Daytrotter! This is Beach House.”
This how Victoria Legrand of Baltimore’s equally magical duo introduced the band’s Daytrotter set, in which they played Walk In The Park, Zebra, Take Care, Used To Be, all off Beach House’s recently released new album “Teen Dream.”
You can download and stream the whole set [...]
Brooklynites lo-fi rockers the Vivian Girls will release their latest 7″ titled “My Love Will Follow Me” next month, and as a token of appreciation shown to the band’s fans, the flip side “He’s Gone”, a beautifully well delivered cover of The Chantels‘ 1957 classic, has been released for free on their website. The single [...]
