New Music From Caithlain De Marrais

Leave a comment

When most of you hear the name Caithlain De Marrais you might draw a blank on where you’ve heard the name before.  Well if I told you that she is the former leading lady of old school post-emo band Rainer Maria, then I’m sure your interest is sparked.  The indie veteran is prepping to release her very first solo record entitled Red Coats via End Up Records on November 8th.  Here’s a taste of what’s in store with new song “Belong”.

New Song from Hunters

Leave a comment

There’s been a whole slew of releases coming out lately, so if you missed one or two, we wouldn’t blame you.  Here’s one that caught my eye, so I wanted to share it with you all.  The band is called Hunters, and of course, they’re from NYC.  They just releases their Hands on Fire EP, and while at first you’ll hear some steady punk synergy, there’s a bit of sex appeal brought in by singer Isabel Almeida.  Oh, and if you need any further proof that the band’s a big deal, they had a hand in mixing by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  Pretty big deal and pretty exciting track.

New Jam from Bass Drum of Death

Leave a comment

If you hit up the Toro y Moi show earlier this month, then hopefully you got there earlier enough to catch Bass Drum of Death.  We’ve raved about the band for some time, and their live show was simply fantastic, as we’ve come to expect from the band.  They’re heading overseas to support their recent album GB City, but not before dropping a new rocker on us.  It’s a steady groove, with a catchy closing chorus, and a bit of grit–these are all good things.  So, if you haven’t gotten into these guys now; you’ve got a bit of time to make it up to yourself.

More Great Pop from Little Red

Leave a comment

I went with sort of a more rock oriented morning starter for everyone this morning, so I had to redeem myself, or rather, at least offer the other side of my musical tastes.  Little Red‘s new album, Midnight Remember, has been playing around my office fairly frequently, and you can now get your hands on it!  But, in case you don’t have the time today, here’s another great track to warm your soul.  It’s just a great melodic ballad with quietly strummed guitar being featured before the song itself begins to meander further into the spectrum of catchy pop tunes.  One listen to this song and you’ll surely find yourself humming along, hoping to have a day as promising as this young act.

Free Album From The Darcys

Leave a comment

Not too long ago we shared a new song with you from a recent find of ours The Darcys.  That song, “Shaking Down The Old Bones”, caught our attention and caused us to do more research into the band.  Fast forward to now and the self-titled LP mentioned earlier is now out and actually available to download for free over on the band’s website.  Here also is another new song from the new album “House Built Around Your Voice”.  We dig.

Sludge Punker from The Spits

Leave a comment

Man, since I’ve really been pushing myself back into rock n’ roll this year, my part of the site might have gotten a little bit heavier than we’ve had in the past, but I’m totally down with that.  One of my favorite acts, The Spits, just released their new album today on In the Red Records, and of course I had to get my hands on it. This new little number is quick and to the point, and it’s definitely one of the muddier feeling tracks on the record.  Lyrically you might not find a great deal of inspiration here, but hey, I’d buy it just for the cheap price and the album cover.

New Rocker from Classic Guided by Voices

Leave a comment

As we’ve all certainly heard, the classic line-up of Guided By Voices is back together, having recorded new material.  I was fortunate to catch the group on their classic return, and they sounded just as I had hoped, if only a wee bit older.  The band will be releasing Lets Go Eat the Factory at the first of the year, but for now you can grab a listen to this track that went up on Matador Records, the label that will be putting out this track as a 7″ on November 22nd.  Whether you’ve liked the band for years, or just recently caught on, surely you see the greatness in this.

New Tune From King Khan

Leave a comment

When King Khan decided to go on hiatus from his two major bands The Shrines and The BBQ Show, everyone had to know that it was only a matter of time until the guy started another new group.  This time around, he’s simply using his own name and labeling the group The King Khan Experience.  An EP is already completed by the new group and will be made available as a free download today on the Scion AV website.  Stay tuned and we’ll add the free download link as soon as it’s made live.

Whalers On Daytrotter

3 comments

I’ll apologize now for neglecting the Daytrotter website that has been so solid for what seems like an eternity at this point.  With that out of the way, I was pleasantly surprised to see our local ATH A2W band Whalers as the featured band of the day.  The guys grab a lengthly 5 song live in-studio set highlighting their short career in the music business.  Below you can find a live version of the song “Magic Tricks” which was the first tune that started turning heads around here.  Head on over now to grab yourself some free music by this up and coming local band.
