The Birthday Kiss

Published by Doug under Indie Pop.

  The Birthday Kiss formed earlier this year and I remember getting some information on it when Ben, the guitarist and main song writer, put some stuff up online.  I was really impressed.  Well, now they have a few more songs on their Facebook for us to digest a little bit and tease us. I haven’t [...]

Night Fruit

Published by Doug under Indie Rock, Shoegaze.

This summer, Night Fruit recorded their debut 7″.  There’s a nice indie rock guitar sound, with a hint of dreaminess in the vocals.  They have a cool sound for a pretty new band.  They’re making plans to do a tour in time for SxSW next year.  I’m going to try my best to go to [...]

Amtrac

Published by Doug under EDM.

I always get excited when Amtrac sends me his latest tune.  He never lets me down, and this time it’s no different with his remix of a song from The Photographic.  If you dig the sort of chill remix, then you need to make sure to buy his album.  I’m telling you, the thing is [...]

Megaman and Panic City

Published by Doug under Uncategorized.

I recently got this Fleetwood Mac remix in my inbox.  I’m always curious when I see someone remixed an older song that isn’t typically remixed.  A lot of the time, it’s not very impressive.  This time, I think Megaman and Panic City did a really good job.  I could hear this in a club easily. [...]

Luise Pop

Published by Doug under Indie Pop, Indie Rock.

Luise Pop is a four piece band based out of Berlin and Vienna.  On January 13, Luise Pop will be releasing their second album.  After getting my hands on it, I’ve been enjoying Vera Kropf’s Pretenders-esque vocals on this indie rock album.  Lucky for all you guys in Europe, they’re on tour promoting the album.  Head [...]

Scout

Published by Doug under Indie Rock.

Scout hasn’t released an album since 2003, but what I’ve heard of the latest one , it should be quite an album.  Ashen Keily has put back together her band piece by piece with new players and new producer.  I’m hoping for big things with this release, after hearing the ep preview for it. Scout [...]

New Spotify Playlist

Published by Doug under EDM.

Here you go guys.  I put together a new playlist on Spotify.  It’s in my “Indie Today After Dark” series. One hobby I’ve been trying to tackle for the last year or so has been dj’ing.  I’m getting better and better all the time but I don’t plan on quitting my day job anytime soon. [...]

The Chambermaids

Published by Doug under Indie Rock, Shoegaze.

Here’s a bit of a shoegaze sounding song from The Chambermaids that they released for free on their Bandcamp page.  I don’t really know anything about the guys but it’s a cool song so let’s sit back and enjoy. The Chambermaids – Whirlpool

Ice Choir

Published by Doug under Indie Pop.

Here’s a 7″ that Shelflife Records released I’m really excited about.  The nu-wave  sound is a little bit of a departure from Kurt Feldman’s main band, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, but definitely a good one.  After the amicable break up of The Depreciation Guild, his other side project, he wanted to quickly [...]

Y LUV

Published by Doug under Indie Rock.

Y LUV is following up their ep, How Chill Can You Let Go, that was released earlier this year with these two singles.  This five piece band based out of LA, is putting together some nice indie rock songs.  These guys seem pretty commerical friendly to me, so who knows, maybe they’ll make it to the big [...]
