PureVolume premiered A Great Big Pile of Leaves’ new take on their song “Pet Mouse” today…featuring Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack! Pierre’s higher-pitched, yet soft vocals contrast wonderfully with Peter Weiland’s deeper, yet equally distinguishable voice, adding a very special element to the song.  The track is well done, straightforward indie rock in a nutshell, with a few hand [...]

Have you ever gone to a concert and found yourself wondering from the second the band gets onstage, “how in the actual f*ck are they not topping the charts right now?” …No? If not, go and get Palma Violets tickets RIGHT NOW. And, while you’re at it, go on and grab some Guards tickets as well – I can promise [...]

Post-hardcore/indie outfit, mewithoutYou, teamed up with DTB (Digital Tour Bus) for the newest episode of “BUS INVADERS.”  Fans always love a sneak peak into the off-stage lives of their favorite musicians, and mwY has given theirs just that…but with an eighteen minute long in-depth video tour of their bus.  Nice. The band speaks for a while about how their bus [...]

With a highly anticipated debut album coming this June, Splashh released a new track called “Today (Fade Away)” to curb the fans appetite till then. “Today (Fade Away)” is the b-side to their first single “All I Wanna Do.” “Today (Fade Away)” is a dreamy, sun-drenched pop tune that is perfectly inline with the summer. Splashh’s debut album, Comfort is [...]

FYF Fest is back for its tenth anniversary as one of the most amazingly booked indie festivals around, and this year’s lineup is CUH-RAZY. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, My Bloody Valentine, MGMT, and Beach House are just a few of the names that have people scrounging through their savings to pick up tickets.  Plus, on top [...]

The Story So Far’s Under Soil and Dirt was an instant classic for fans of modern pop punk with an edge.  It explored anger, sadness, betrayal, and every other topic you’d want to violently yell about while jumping around to energetic guitar riffs.  While the band’s following effort, What You Don’t See, is widely seen as failing to deliver that same freshness, [...]

The Begging Sea, a.k.a. Nathan Henry, has premiered a music video for a song entitled “Lightly Stepping,” which will be on this new project’s forthcoming debut album.  We’ve previously heard and admired Henry’s talents from his time in Sherwood (one of the first touring indie bands I ever saw live who seriously helped shape my music taste), but this new music [...]

Minks finally announce their new album Tides End after two long years. Tides End is the follow up to 2011′s By the Hedge, and is set to release on August 6th via Captured Tracks.

Get ready to bug out with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, because this one is a doozy: You know that stomach-turning feeling you have when you find a mosquito on your skin?  You know what I’m talking about, when your entire brain just focuses on the simple fact that there is a bug…on your skin…invading your body…SUCKING YOUR FREAKING BLOOD EW [...]

These New Puritans take a less chaotic approach with their newest single “Fragment Two.” “Fragment Two” is off their upcoming album Fields Of Reeds, the follow up to the amazing 2010 album Hidden. Where Hidden was more of a grand, post-apocalyptic soundtrack, Fields Of Reeds takes a step back into a more peaceful tone. Fields Of Reeds will be out [...]
