New York-based duo Rebel Kicks are back with their new single “Hamartia,” an electric-riff-soaked anthem that melds the best of their riveting pop-rock dynamism. At its core, the track centers on illustrating the outcomes of a person essentially going in circles. “I’ve been here before,” they harmonize in entrapped confusion. Channeling the idea of a […]

A huge milestone approaches for Amber Mark, the New York-based artist that will break your heart with a single note. Her debut album is planned for release later this year and the first single, “Worth It,” dropped earlier this year. “Competition” is the latest track to be unveiled and reflects a feeling that any public […]

Brooklyn-based indie artist, Kevin Holliday is steppin’ into 2021 with a fresh new track titled “Tried My Best” featuring Jackie Moonbather. With a deliciously funky bass line and Holliday’s smooth rolling vocals, “Tried My Best” will get your body moving and grooving even on the worst of days. Despite the lyrics mentioning a feeling of […]

A new soul-bird is on the L.A. scene. R&B artist Ella M., via New York via London, just released her intimately sophisticated debut single ‘Myself’. The song hits with a groove that is at once weighty and listless, much like the nature of change. Uprooting your life and the comforts of what you know is […]

Are they or are they not? That was the question on hand at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY this past Sunday evening. Thankfully John Linnell and John Flansburgh were quick to answer such a heavy, loaded question; They Might Be Giants are running on all of their quirky cylinders and are, in fact, very […]

Parquet Courts, a band that prides themselves in not falling in the clutches of social media or major label ownership (although they do have a functioning Facebook page), have continued strong with their DIY tenor and have dropped their second record this year. The Brooklyn-based indie-post-punkers received much critical acclaim for their June 2014 release, […]

It pained us not to be at this show! Guadalupe Plata had their New York debut this past Thursday, June 20 at the Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn. While I was not there, my good friend Brian caught the show live as we have both have been fans of the Spanish swamp-punk-blues rockers for quite some […]

The Vandelles have shared a new video for their breezy Summer single, “Swell to Heaven.” It’s a classic spin off yesteryear high school crushes over bad boys, and involves a lot of beach, babes and rad classic cars. Oh, there’s also some bare buns and quick titty action. It’s a perfect surf-garage-pop single to kick […]

While they’re baring the burden of Hurricane Sandy, our favorite New York psychedelic-garage-rockers, the Vandelles have shared a creepy new Halloween single. You can download their new single, You Turn Me for free via their Bandcamp. The song is a reverbed, wild cover from Beat Happening’s ’92 song (and self-titled album), You Turn Me On. The Vandelles do […]

New York hip hop group, Anti-Pop Consortium (APC) have been tweeting clues the past couple months about their upcoming new album. With the group originally consisting of Beans, High Priest, M.

Hardcore rockers, Glassjaw are back and ready to play some shows in Los Angeles.

Tickets for both venues are not on sale yet, but Glassjaw has a […]

Syrian-born, Boshra al Saadi (Saadi), is one hot new artist hailing from New York you’re going to want to keep your eyes on. Aside from being totally foxy, she has this very cool detached yet sultry voice that at times sounds a bit possessed. It may sound kind of creepy but it’ actually really hot. […]

“I’m not pussy-footing, I’m double bass drumming!” You gott check this flick, it looks all sorts of ridonkulously funny! Ari Gold is like a cooler (but still-so-nerdy) version of Napoleon Dynamite, while Enoturage’s Adrian Grenier has never looked so sexy-cheezy all at once! Watch the trailer below. If you’re in the NYC, there’s a kick-ass […]

I’m usually not down for the “actor turned musician” thing, but in some cases it does tend to work (definitely not with Scarlett Johansson). Check this sweet new band out: The Honey Brothers features “Entourage” star Adrian Grenier on drums! Their new goods titled “Demonstration EP,” has a fun vibe to it with a ukulele […]

The Independent Music Awards (IMAs) is an influential and effective international program that helps up-and-coming indie artists blow their shit up! In other words, the IMAs recognize these low profile bands and grants them the opportunity for publicity and exposure with all types of industry movers and shakers, thus making it “BIG” and living happily-ever-after. […]

I love Metric and all things Emily Haines. Although their new album Fantasies doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as did their prior albums, I can’t seem to get the catchy “Gimmie Sympathy” out of my head. As the hook goes “who would you rather be, The Beatles of The Rolling Stones?” I’ve been asked this […]

What an incredible show! There was copius shots of Jack Daniels, delicious cigarettes, friendly show goers, and (most importantly) kick ass melt your geriatric grandma’s face off motherfuckin’ rock and roll! Those Darlins were a treat of an opener. Their dirty country swagger and rad outfits (ruffly booty shorts)! A fucking fox or lion or […]

Alright all you east coasters, a whole lot skateboarding mayhem going down this weekend! Don’t be the mark that misses it all. It’s back to the banks and Red Bull Manny Mania comin’ in hot. This Saturday, skateboarders from around the world will converge under the Brooklyn Bridge for the 4th annual Back to the […]

Don’t get all “tangled up in blue” this summer, but do “search and destroy” some of the best music festival line ups to date. Two of the most influential musicians have been added to the Virgin Mobile Festival. Bringing one of America’s most favored songwriters and punk’s notoriously shocking, yet pleasing performer, Iggy and The […]
