Kris Menace
This is the first single off the upcoming album for Kris Menace. Remember the name because the album won’t be coming out until March 12. The German has put together a house track a little darker than most but it’s still really cool. Kris Menace – Falling Star by Kris Menace
Picture Book Gets Remixed
Justin Faust gave a nu wave feel to this song from Picture Book. Next week on February 27 you’ll be able to get the self-released ep from Picture Book. Sunshine (Justin Faust Remix) by Picture Book
Them Swoops
Cosine Records has done it again and found another band from Australia that rocks. Them Swoops hails from Melbourne, actually. Both of the songs they’re releasing are catchy indie pop songs with a hint of garage pop put in for good measure. Them Swoops – Work Around It by Cosine Records Them Swoops – [...]
Joywave
Joywave will be releasing an ep in March. You can pre-order it on their Bandcamp page. The first song off of the release is “True Grit,” a darker sounding, atmospheric track that showcases the band’s penchant for addictive songwriting; it’s a synth laden jam that builds around Daniel Armbruster’s arresting vocals. True Grit (off upcoming release, [...]
Xiu Xiu
On March 6 Polyvinyl Records will be releasing Xiu Xiu’s latest album. You can pre-order it now here now. I’m really digging the song Hi off the album. What I’m really hoping for is for some of the bigger dj’s out there to remix this one. I think there’s so much potential with this guy to be remixed. [...]
Drew Smith
I was quickly intrigued by Drew Smith when he said in the first line of his email that he “outsourced” the video for his latest single. I thought he was joking, so I had to take a look at this video that was “outsourced” to India. It turns out, he wasn’t joking and he really [...]
Cats On Fire
The Finnish band, Cats On Fire, are back with another album that will be released late next month on Matinee Records. If the album is like their latest single, then it should be filled with richer songs than their older songs. When I hear A Few Empty Waves I think I hear a little bit of a [...]
The Birthday Kiss
The Birthday Kiss has a new single out on their Bandcamp. Around Christmas I did an interview with the band. You can read it here. I can’t wait until they put together an official release. From what I’ve heard, the band will have a very impressive release when it finally comes out.
The Sweet Serenades
I’ve been a fan of The Sweet Serenades for a while now. They have such a strong and solid style of indie pop songs. I’m so thankful I didn’t have their song Die Young on cassette tape because it would be worn out by now. I listened to that one so many times. Their song [...]
