A Genuine Freakshow is a seven piece band from the UK who have figured out the ultimate formula to mixing orchestral instruments with a standard rock lineup to create dreamy indie that expertly demonstrates “less” not always being “more.”  The result is “an artful blend of pop sensibility, icy soundscapes, and blistering walls of noise,” which is brilliantly showcased in the [...]

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 [...]

Could the Internet BE any more butthurt? Let’s get this straight.  Brand New is one of my most played artists of all time, and I am not a very big fan of We Are The In Crowd’s music.  In fact, I am regretfully right up there above the pretentious line when it comes to bands covering Brand New songs (read: [...]

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 [...]

I have had the opportunity to see both Arrows In Her and Gifts numerous times, and for whatever reason, whether it be arriving two minutes too late or having pre-existing, inescapable plans, it has never worked out.  While I was thrilled to see that the two New Jersey bands were releasing a split together, I knew that it would only [...]

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been chomping at the bit for any new Fitz and the Tantrums music since their 2010 debut album “Pickin’ Up The Pieces.”  I can now happily report that the band’s sophomore album, “More Than Just A Dream” can now be streamed until it’s May 6th release, but I have to warn you – once [...]

This past Saturday, I got the incredible opportunity to go and see Fitz & the Tantrums with opener Hunter Hunted at LIFE in Ardsley, New York, and let me tell you…it was QUITE the show! Before Fitz and the Tantrums came on, the show was opened by the ridiculously talented Hunter Hunted.  The Los Angeles based band is made up [...]

With a new album on the horizon sometimes soon, MGMT released a little record store day present with the single “Alien Days.” If you were one of the unfortunate people to come out with nothing on record store day, never fear because MGMT posted the track onto their soundcloud page. “Alien Days” is what we come to expect from the [...]

When he’s not fronting the 12 person Australian garage monster, Velociraptor, Jeremy Neale is doing his own solo thing making some quality tunes. Case in point, his new single “In Stranger Times” is a little 60s inspired pop gem that is too infectious for it’s own good. Catchy melodies are complemented by a dancey drum beat and harmonies provided by [...]

The Musgraves are a four-piece from the UK, prepping to release their debut album, “You That Way I This Way,” in the US next week on OK! Good Records.  After multiple listen-throughs of the exclusive album stream, we’re sure that this group is going to be huge in the states, and we don’t want anyone missing out. The Musgraves are [...]
