Since the announcement of her upcoming new album, ‘New Truth,’ musician Jenny O has released a new single every two weeks, dropping most recently “Even If I Tried,” a 60s pop adjacent banger that revels in its newfound confidence as the single captures the sentiment of a person whose finally said “F You” to all […]

  Didn’t get enough of the Black Angels the past month. After playing two amazing shows at both the Mayan and the Glass House, the Black Angels return for a headlining show date at the Observatory in Orange County on Friday, Aug. 23. And what an incredible and “black” line-up it will be with their […]

Hot Band Alert: Vinyl Williams – Lemniscate – Album Review While the Los Angels-based Viny Williams, led by the 22-year-old Lionel Williams, offer some trippy motives — I prefer to let the sound speak for itself. Falling into the shoegaze and psyche pop genres, Vinyl Williams carves out a much more primal niche with their debut […]

Psychedelic Aussies, Tame Impala have dropped a colorful and mind-bending new video for ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards’, the latest single from their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Lonerism. Created by animators (and musicians) Joe Pelling & Becky Sloan, it’s a hypercolor wave, a visual imprint of their sonic landscape, and totally Tame Impala. Tame Impala has a sold-out […]

I’m spiraling on a sound-wave of musicianship with a harmonica on my way through a gliding rock tune called “Bobby’s Song.” This 10-minute musical track is broken down into various branches of stylistic blends from the 60s past with touches of modern wonder. By the 3rd minute it breaks down to a mystical flute/pipe tune […]

Delivering vocals as sweet as sugar sprinkled over delicate rhythms and soothing melodies, Austin’s latest indie sensation, Brazos, are trotting their way to our hearts with their delicious sound. Brazos began as the solo recording project of songwriter Martin Crane, who debuted his smart, lyrical songs in late 2007 with the acclaimed EPs “Feeding Frenzy” […]

Looks like the Australian electro-psychadleic rockers, Wolf and Cub, have yet another fabulous single for you to get your grimy hands on. Download their electrifying bass driven single, “One To The Other” here for FREE! With its hypnotic bass and explosive guitars, “One To The Other” bends itself out of shape, recoils and surges back […]

If you have yet to hear about Jay Reatard, I highly suggest you get with it. The dude just slays live! Him, his bassist and drummer, all three make for some killer garage punk. The sound’s very reminiscent of mid 70’s punk, performed with enough energy to burn a hole through the roof! Not to […]

This past Saturday night (February 7) was “such a perfect day.” The day was bright and sunny, and pretty warm for New York City. Started out with some vintage record shopping at Fifth Avenue Record & Tape in Brooklyn where I was subjected to listening to some mildly retarded woman blab about her record collection, […]
