Great New Track From Big Deal

Leave a comment

jpegBig Deal came onto our radar last year with a ton of solid tracks that we shared with you as soon as we had them.  Today news is coming that the band have even more new music this year and plan on releasing a new EP this summer.  This great new track “Always Boys” is yet another example of the power created by this band.  A slow build up leads to an intense, loud, power driven pop tune.  We hope that you enjoy this one as much as we do.

New EP, Sakura, is coming on July 15th.

New Music from Toy Cities

Leave a comment

tumblr_inline_n5ezgmj9N21qzxlbnFriday’s always need a bit of fun to get you through the day and into the weekend, so why not take a stroll with Toy Cities today.  The Brooklyn band has created this lush lush bit of danceable pop that’s coated in synth lines and smooth vocal delivery; it’s a rather calm track until the group spins things in the pop direction during the chorus.  You’re going to find yourself bobbing your head and tapping your toes as the song draws to a close, which should get you excited for the release of their debut album during the month of June.

Contemplative Tune From RBTS WIN

RBTS_Promo_1aUSE

Sometimes when you maintain a music blog for years, you get a little inundated with the same old genres and musical styles in the indie scene today.  I’m even guilty of often going along with it and pigeonholing myself into specific genres that I like while flat out ignoring the sounds I usually don’t find interesting.  It’s not what we are supposed to do as music journalists right?  Today I broke my trend, giving this song called “Death Magic” a chance, and I’m really glad that I did.  Coming to us from Asheville, NC based pop hit makers RBTS WIN, one can find a lot to like in the simplicity of what’s going on here. What starts as a synth laden pop number with head nodding beats, evolves into this creative R&B tune sure to be worthy of repeat listens.  Something about this song is really doing it for me today.

Pick up new album, Palm Sunday, from these guys on May 20th.[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/139240686″ params=”color=ff9900&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

Great Track From PAWS

I’ve been rather enjoying this great new track called “Tongues” by Glasgow band PAWS.  When talking labels, I’d dare call this one an indie pop tune with a washed out, punk rock overtone.  I find myself hitting play time and time again once the play meter hits the end.  Great track.

New album, Youth Culture Forever, is due out June 2nd on Fat Cat Records.

Great Track From The Trouble With Templeton

THETROUBLEWITHTEMPLETON1-MARCH2013.123528

I’ve been on a punk rock kick lately, but I’ve grown a bit tired of that today and want to take a left turn here.  This new track, “Soldiers”, from Australian band The Trouble With Templeton is doing just that for me.  I dig the way the tune sort of starts off as a heavy, dark bass number, and then morphs into a pop number complete with some haunting vocals and catchy guitars.  Me gusta.

Rookie will be available on May 12th via Bella Union.

New Single from Reptile Youth

Leave a comment

reptileyouthIn 2012 Reptile Youth caught the attention of many with their self-titled debut, and they rode that quick fame to a recording session with one of the members of Iceage.  But, don’t let that fool you, as this track is an uplifting tune, emotionally speaking, that you might not associate with the hard edge of the man behind the soundboard.  It’s the sort of song that really puts a solid foot in the ground, showing that this group deserves and continues their meteoric rise.  If you’re looking for something that’s going to take you to higher spiritual levels before you leave work on Friday, then just stop here for a few minutes; enjoy your weekend.

New Tunes From Elephant

Leave a comment

Elephant-006UK based Elephant is a band that we posted about in the past and we’ve been anxiously awaiting to hear more from them.  Today I’ve found another track from the band called “Elusive Youth” that is yet another atmospheric pop gem from the band.  I love the playful nature of the track as we dance through the tune mesmerized by the enchanting vocals of leading lady Amelia Rivas.  Enjoy it with me.

New album, Sky Swimming, is coming out on April 28th via Memphis Industries.

Catchy Tune From The Notwist

Leave a comment

524713_10151949823411108_1751919683_nI’ve long been a fan of The Notwist, and hearing news of their return this year has peaked some major musical intrigue in my mind.  I love the pop sensibilities here with it’s hurried beat accompanied by the always smooth and calming vocals of Acher.  This is already a front runner for one of my tracks of the tear.  Duh.

We’ll be anxiously awaiting the February 25th release date of new album Close to the Glass via Sub Pop.

New Dark Pop From Mode Moderne

Leave a comment

cbd362f71e1718a05ae2976a93d447d2c47c1911After a few spins of this great new track “Unburden Yourself” from Vancouver based Mode Moderne, I’m excited to see what their new full length has to offer.  The band will of course get the Joy Division label from the get go, but I think the band mix those darker tones with some brighter, more polished pop tendencies.  I’ll keep ya posted on how the entire album turns out.  Count me as a fan.

New album, Occult Delight, is coming out on January 21st via Light Organ Records.
