New Found Glory Get Gory in “One More Round” Video

The boys of New Found Glory came out with one killer record last year, called Resurrection. Not only that, but they have been touring off the album for well over six months now, and don’t show any signs of letting up, as they’re just about to head out with Turnstile, This Wild Life and Turnover […]

Mikal Cronin Shares “ii) Gold”

This week has been killer, with new tracks from some great acts. The routine continues, as Mikal Cronin shares another track from his forthcoming LP MCIII. “ii) Gold” carries the fuzz and buzz on its shoulders, not unlike Ty Segall, whom Mikal has worked with a few times in the past, and it’s one helluva […]

STREAM: Surfer Blood – “I Can’t Explain”

The lo-fi indie outfit known as Surfer Blood are back with their first official single off the forthcoming LP, entitled 1000 Palms. The new song, “I Can’t Explain,” really cuts back from the band’s traditional sound, slows it down big time, but still contains the feel-good vibes that are relentless from the group. The band […]

Mew Share “Water Slides”

One of my most anticipated albums of this year is +- from the Danish group, Mew. It will be the band’s first album since 2009. A few weeks ago, they gave us the first track from the album, “Satellites,” and shorty after a video. Now, as a little pre-SXSW gift from the band, we have […]

Mumford & Sons Share New Single, “Believe”

So the news earlier last week was that the beloved banjo boys of Mumford & Sons were abandoning the banjo and taking the new music that they were working on to the shop and adding a little bit of edge, which means they were going electric. As blasphemous as it seemed to fans, they weren’t […]

Grimes Shares Video for Previously Unreleased Demo “REALiTi”

Grimes has decided that everyone needs to have a happy Monday. As a result of finishing her tour over in Northeastern Asia, she has rewarded her fans with a video for a song that otherwise would have never seen the light of day. The song, “REALiTi,” is one of the unreleased demos that was scrapped, […]

Dashboard Confessional and Third Eye Blind Team Up for Summer Tour

Well, if this summer wasn’t already huge enough, with a killer Warped Tour lineup (so far) or the Paramore and Copeland tour, we’ve got another must-see tour to add to the list. Dashboard Confessional is back with an extensive tour of the US with another band that has been relatively silent for a period of […]

Hozier Releases Video for “Someone New”

If Hozier could get any bigger, this song will do it. After the huge single, “Take Me to Church,” and an incredible performance at The Grammys, Hozier gives us a video for “Someone New.” This song is arguably more catchy than its predecessor, and maybe more lighthearted. The song discusses brief promiscuity as well as […]

The Helio Sequence Announce New Album; Stream “Stoic Resemblance”

The sixth full-length from veteran indie-rockers The Helio Sequence has been announced, after the band’s 2012 release of Negotiations. The self-titled album, which is also self-produced, also has some help on the mixing boards from Greg Calbi, who has worked with Father John Misty and Sleater-Kinney, to name a few. A name drop for sure. […]

Raury Shares Video for “Seven Suns”

If you haven’t fallen in love with the hip-hop up-and-comer Raury yet, feel free to start now. The Internet is raving about this kid, and rightfully so; his mixtape Indigo Child is superb. In the meantime, check out a so-called PSA visual that he and his crew have developed for the song “Seven Suns” that […]

Bloodhound Gang Share Another New Song, “Dimes”

Since around August, we have steadily been dished out new songs by Bloodhound Gang. First was “Chew Toy,” and then in October, “American Bitches.” And now, this week, the band gave us “Dimes.” The song is classic Bloodhound Gang, with potty humor mixed with insults and hip-hop beats to drive the song inside your ears […]

Jack White Shares a Three-in-One Video for “That Black Bat Licorice”

Aside from all the annoying guacamole posts and media exaggerations that have been posted about him in the past two weeks, Jack White has come up with another, incredibly innovative manner of distributing his music to the consumers. Apparently, his ultra deluxe vinyl of Lazeretto wasn’t enough. This time it comes in the form of […]
