This is fine.
We love the man known as King Khan and we get amped up when he makes new music with The Shrines or with The BBQ show. This new jam comes from the BBQ show and will appear on upcoming album Invisible Girl out November 3rd on In the Red Records. Do these guys put out bad music?

We really dig that new Fruit Bats record so we are of course excited for their stop in town Wednesday night at Mohawk. Fellow Sub Pop and ATH fave Death Vessel will provide main support with locals The Low Lows starting things off. Best show of the week? Damn this song is really good…

As the new album In and Out of Control by The Raveonettes draws closer to its October 6th release date, more and more tracks begin to hit the Internet. “Last Dance,” hitting today is surely one of the highlights for what is shaping up to be a great album. I’ll admit, I’ve been a half-hearted fan for awhile, but after hearing the clever-pop goodness here, reminiscent of a female fronted Pains of Being Pure at Heart, I’m sincerely stoked.

These United States can’t seem to stop releasing new tunes, and this time around, Everything Touches Everything is going to be full of powerchords and pop magic. It’s hard to see these guys stopping anytime soon, and with songs like this, who would really want them to. The album hits stores September 1.

After spending time working on various projects, David Wingo finally returns to the writing of his fantastic soft-spoken numbers under the name of Ola Podrida. Rumor has it that he’s returned to Austin, but either way, we love the quiet beauty he’s given us in the past, so we’re looking forward to the release of his new record, Belly of the Lion, on November 10th. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s releasing it on Austin’s own Western Vinyl.

London’s Stricken City are known for their avant garde videos and the beauty of their lead singer, but now with the release of Songs About People I Know awaiting release on November 3rd it’s time to focus on the music. You can feel the bounce immediately here, and Raa’s sex-kitten vocals make it difficult not to fall for this song.

They Might be Giants have always been a fun band who write solid pop songs that always make a home inside your head. This new tune “I’m a Paleontologist” is no different eventhough it is written mostly for the kiddies. You can check out more new child oriented songs on the band’s upcoming 14th studio album and 4th kid’s album Here Comes Sciene.
