This is fine.
You probably know by now that if Daytrotter posts about one of our favorite bands AND they play unreleased material, you can expect to see it on the ATH. That’s just what we got in this recent live set by White Rabbits and we couldn’t be more excited. This unreleased tune from the Daytrotter session is creating a lot interest to see where these guys go next. Check out this one and the other 3 live songs now.

Sure, we love the in-house sessions on Daytrotter, but they’ve outdone themselves, at least in our nostalgic eyes. They just ran The Get Up Kids session, which includes classic tunes like “I’m a Loner Dottie, a Rebel,” not to mention the inclusion of a Vitreous Humor song. To top it all off, there is a brand new song, said to be one of nine. Could it be? Are they back for good? I hope so!

Daytrotter really made my day this week by throwing up a session with Cursive. Not only do they include a song off Domestica, which is my favorite album by the group, but they included several unreleased covers that you likely can’t get anywhere else…one of them is “Love Cats!” Why not go check it out.

Also, Daytrotter ran a Rock Plaza Central post a few days back , which is also worth the visit.
What, ATH hasn’t posted about Daytrotter in a while?!? Well we gots ta change that! I just couldn’t resist this Superdrag set, especially considering they play their self proclaimed only hit from 1996 “Sucked Out”. Oh it brings back memories of middle school doesn’t it? Check out this song and 3 newer ones on the Daytrotter site.

Sorry for the double up on Daytrotter posts this week, but damnit we can’t not post when Matt Pryor records a session. We talk about Matt and his work in and outside of GUK and New Amsterdams on our site constantly, so you all know we love the guy. Hell we even interviewed him a while back! Enough rambling, check out the awesome session with songs from Matt’s debut solo record Confidence Man plus this unreleased track “Your Look Gave You Away”.

We love The Thermals and we love Daytrotter, so when the two get together, we’ve just got to tell you about it. By now you know the drill. Band records daytrotter session, posts MP3s, and you go check it out. This one is extra sweet because the band plays the previously unreleased track “I Can’t Let Go”.
