New Tunes from Ted Leo

57540037AJ001_Breaking_the_Everyone’s all over this album lately, especially with the release of the second web single for Ted Leo.  As we prepare for his new album, The Brutalist Bricks, we’ve got a few thoughts to share.  Writer RayRay says it’s his favorite album of the year so far.  Personally, after years of adoring Ted, I think this is finally the album that combines his traditional pub rock leanings with his energetic stage presence.  It’s everything you always wanted a Ted Leo record to be, and you, too, can get your hands on it March 9th via Matador Records. So here’s that new tune, the album’s opening track “The Mighty Sparrow.”

New Tunes from The Light Footwork

TLFsummer07-1thumbCalifornia’s The Light Footwork first caught my eye a few years back when I stumbled upon them via a blog I no longer remember.  They’re set to release their new album, National Historic Landmarks.  This new tune features trade-offs between the male/female vocal parts, and the song definitely has an oddball sense of storytelling.  It’s a nice little afternoon number.

New Music From The Pipettes

Pipettes1The Pipettes are returning in 2010 with a new album and a new image (as evidenced by that crazy new press photo).  After the departure of all original members of the band and dropping down to a duo group, the girls will release Earth Vs. Pipettes sometime this summer.  Here’s first single from the upcoming effort called “Our Love Was Saved by Spacemen”.

Get Up Kids Anounce New EP

guk15After six long years of a drought in new Get Up Kids material, the Lawrence, KA band is finally releasing a new EP entitled Simple Sciene come April.  The only information right now is that 4 songs will be included, CDs and vinyl will be self-released in limited quantities, and a download will be set up on itunes.  All this information comes by way of a new blog post on the GUK myspace page.  Here again is that new song the guys played on Daytrotter awhile back which may or may not be on this new EP.

Eisley Cover Stevie Nicks

doors_mirandaBeing from the Eastern side of Texas, I’ve followed Tyler, TX. band Eisley since they first got started many years ago.  While the band has been relativley quiet in recent years, this new video/song covering the Stevie Nicks tune “Silver Springs” popped up on the internet last week.  The song is more of a solo gig by primary Eisley songwriter Stacy Dupree along with Jeremy Larson, Brandon Goodwin, and Darren King (Mute Math) providing the music/recording.  It’s a beautiful little diddy if I do say so myself.  A video version of the tune can be found on the Eisley youtube siteEisley will also be making their way to Austin for our SXSW festival in March.
