DC Philly piano-pop Trio, Jukebox The Ghost, are rolling out their Sophomore, Everything Under The Sun, in early September! Don’t you love indie pop songs? Yes we do too. This is the band that people always compare to Ben Folds which is great cause I love Ben Folds but these guys have [...]
One of the illest NYC quartets got a new video for their debut single White Night. The Postelles have an EP out right now called White Night and also have a debut coming around October. Get a track here. The single is below! And be sure to check them late [...]
Canadia is on a roll again, this time with Montreal’s STARS! They literally are sellouts; their next 7 shows are completely sold out including LA! Boo! Yea we totally slept on that one. -___- zZz! Their new album ‘The Five Ghosts’ is dropping later this month and it’s nothing short of indie [...]
More Summer jams! Yay! Loved the Nikki & Rich Morning Becomes Eclectic performance! I know what a lot of you though, sure she’s like Amy Winehouse, but minus the cigarette ash. (Ooo bbq harsh!) You know I’m right. I feel like N&R bring a full on classy 50s/60s mark with super [...]
Last week I got a sweet EP called Heartbeat by Yael Meyer. This Chilean, now Los A basedngeles singer songwrite gives us 5 wonderful tracks with bits and pieces of folk, and good indie pop. She plays everything from glocks to guitars to accompany her beautiful voice. My favs are Tea for [...]
These guys are pretty much blowing up all over the place– Radios station heavy rotations, dance clubs, Target, seashells, In n Out, Gas Stations, Yogurtland, places in Idaho, airplanes, elevators, fruit salad, Your car, my car–everywhere! Two Door Cinema Club is super dope band from Northern Ireland in cities you’ve never heard [...]
Excuse my worldly ignorance but I’ve never heard too much from Indonesia in terms of indie music, but glad it’s starting to roll into my ears! Just listened to this super stylin’ band from Jakarta called White Shoes & The Couples Company who plays a retro-ish funk and jazz. Apparently they love to dress in [...]
My coworker Miro is a music monster head. You could ask him to name a tune that you might know 3 words and hum the rest and he could probably get you darn near close to the song, or he might know it off the top. Amazing. Anyways we’ve been listening to Pomplamoose at the [...]
NJ’s Like Trains & Taxis are a refreshment, it’s what people are calling indie-soul with dashes of jazz–whatever it is, there’s style I dig in their songs. There’s also a good measure of pop, and lots of signature pianos like a Ben folds gig but a step up in the simplicity. They’ve got [...]
I really like the fact that these guys play in the subways and street corners, if you were lucky enough to catch the at the L stop, you’d totally knowhere I’m comin’ from. The Freelance Whales are a New York quintet with enough happy indie synth driven jams to make all your saddies go [...]
I’m cruisin’ through the SXSW madness lists and there are literally over 2000 bands playing there! It’s madness, we need to do an experiment where a fake band goes there, and gets a manager, PR and signed all in that 1 week. I think it’s do-able. More about this later. One rad [...]
This is simply one of the most beautiful dreamy albums I’ve ever heard and as a mega fan of Bossa nova (and all things Brazilian tradition benders), I’m an instant fan of their previous pop trio Mosquitos (RIYL wonderful things). Juju Stulbach is such a keeper; it’s ridiculous. Her vocals carry heavy Rio [...]
Last night, LA’s Fitz & The Tantrums completely tore it up at the Echo’s Club Underground with their powerful soul filling, era throwback pop gems. They’ve been compared to Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse? (ok I dono about that last one, eww) The new school pop soul 60s/70s stuff is [...]
If you thought debutAsleep In The Wake was awesome, you gotta see Melanoid live. Luckily there just happened to be a free show in a pretty substantial venue (they have a venue there!?) with a special premiere music video of Roam, quite psychedelic and oh how I love the dancers. Another topper was [...]
I am way super excited for Via Audio’s new album Animalore! Oh wait they sent it to me already and it’s AWESOME! But why oh why?..someone please tell me why they are not coming to California! What the heck! Okay I’ll get over it. The 12 tracks feature some reworks including [...]
