Super Pumped Up Jam from Stone Cold Fox

Leave a comment

stonecoldfoxWhile I’m not completely sure that I’m on board with the name, Stone Cold Fox, I can say that this song is doing it for me today.  I can feel the bit of Spring creeping into my windows, which means I’m ready for some full on dance party action…who said old people can’t get down.  This track is pure energy; I can see the kids fist-pumping while this blasts over their favorite clubs stereo.  This Brooklyn band surely has their finger on the pulse of the dance party, but don’t be surprised when they decide to mix things up completely for the release of Memory Place; rumor has it that there’s no style the band won’t approach.  For now, this one will do; the record comes out on May 6th.

Rocking Number from Cheap Girls

Leave a comment

cheapgirlsYou know that feeling when you put on a new track and you’re immediately attached to the sound? Well, that’s exactly what happened when I put on this new tune from Cheap Girls; it’s something that begged to be put immediately into our daily schedule.  You’ll find that the guitars are reminiscent of a solid alternative rocker, but there’s a deep quality to the vocals that really stuck with me. It’s a song that borders on the line of Americana, but offers a hint more rock n’ roll for your ears.  Their album Famous Graves will be out on May 13th via Xtra Mile Recordings.

Be Entranced by Amen Dunes

This track “Lonely Richard” from Amen Dunes has a great, haunting sound to it.  I’d call it a dark, enchanting, singer-songwriter tune that could easily be compared to something from the early days of Sun Kil Moon.  I’m cool with that.  Though you won’t find much “rising action” in this track, the slow and steady beat throughout will beg you to hit play again when the song ends.  You did it didn’t you?

Pick up new album, Love, on May 13th via Sacred Bones.

Anne Makes a Hit For You Dance-A-Teria Types

Leave a comment

anneMan, I can’t stop using that reference, I’m sorry.  But, that being said, it was the first thing that came to mind when I listened to the brand new single from Anne. The song is instantly ready for a club hit, banging hard when you turn it up appropriately loud.  It opens with an actual ballad beginning, dusted over with some electronic touches; it then proceeds to make your toes tap joyously.  I can just picture people being confused in a club when it first comes on, then they realize how much they want to dance all of a sudden; perfect. The new record from Anne, Pulling Chain, will be out on March 4th via Run for Cover Records.

Enjoy Your Day with Shorts

Leave a comment

shortsI found this tune while I was trolling the Internet, hunting down our virtual friend Curtis from Velcro. Shorts is actually a Brooklyn act, but it’s founded by a former Australian, which is probably where Curtis comes into play, running a similar path in life.  Of course, this is exactly what I wanted to hear today; it has a bright guitar chord that dances around the song’s melody, while casual harmonies come in via multi-part vocals.  You’re going to want to get your hands on this bad boy when it’s release by Aloe Music on March 18th; it’s titled the Berlin 1971 EP, and it’s sure to be a stunner.

Let Miniature Tigers Brighten Your Day

Leave a comment

miniature-tigers_320It’s been quite some time since I’ve heard anything from pop hit makers Miniature Tigers.  So long in fact, you could’ve told me that the band was no longer making music at this point.  With all that aside, I was happy to find out the band was indeed still making music and have a new LP planned for later this fall.  First taste of this new album comes our way in a summer inspired, fun tune called “Swimming Pool Blues”.  I doubt any of you people out there can deny the upbeat, fun, pop qualities here creating a memorable track worthy of repeat listens.

We will eagerly await new album Cruel Runnings due out on May 27th via Yebo Music.

SXSW 2014 Interview: The Rich Hands

Leave a comment

richhands“Have never checked that out but seems like it would be pretty cool!” Yo, this is what I’m talking about! SXSW Interviews.  This is one of the great things about SXSW; you get to discover brand new bands to love and adore. Perhaps one of those bands will be the Rich Hands, the Texas trio who seem to be working as hard as they can to get as many dates lined up for you as possible during the week. They have at least seven shows, so check out what they had to say, and try to hunt them down during the festival (their tour dates are at the bottom). Read more

New Tune from Each Other (SXSW Act)

Leave a comment

eachotherOne of the many bands I’m really excited to see this year at SXSW is Each Other.  We’ve covered the band previously, and we even have an interview scheduled to run with them in the next few days.  But, today we share with you their latest single that shows the careful operation of the band’s music.  Their first single had a very angular approach, filled with a nice hook, but this song unfolds slowly.  It’s focusing on a nice little bounce that the group has built from their sharply ringing guitars and steady drumming.  It’s just another great tune that’ll pop up on the band’s Being Elastic album, which is slated for a March 4th release date.
