Listen Before You Buy

1,2,3′s new video is very cultish. You shouldn’t do what they do in the video, but you definitely should listen to everything we tell you.

Help 1,2,3 get some new wheels so they can tour the country and grab an exclusive MP3 of “Lonesome Boring Summer” whilst you’re at it.

Pittsburgh’s 1,2,3 turned their already giant sound up three levels at their various shows during this year’s SXSW.

Aaron Embry, a one time Elliott Smith touring band member, is embarking on a solo career and his latest music is nothing short of amazing.

The Mhurs release an anthemic new-but-old-but-new track.

On December 6th one of our favourite bands of the year 1,2,3 have announced that they’re releasing their new single “Scared But Not That Scared” as a digital download.

Watch 1,2,3 perform “Confetti” for Sleepover Shows, in which Josh tries his hardest to stay upright whilst kicking an old air duct. Their excellent album “New Heaven” is out now.

Cloud Nothings continue to impress me with his newest release “No Future/No Past.” What starts off with a slow building intro develops into an intense angsty wall of simplistic perfection reminiscent of all that was right in the early 90′s. Through all the noise and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics nothing feels overdone or forced, it’s unpretentious emotion [...]

Listen to and download site-favourites 1,2,3‘s new EP of Misfits covers below. Just in time for Halloween our good buddies in 1,2,3 sent over this free EP of Misfits covers, the horror-punk band fronted by Glenn Danzig. Now, having never been much of a fan of Misfits, not because I dislike their music but rather [...]

Next week, from October 18th-22nd the annual CMJ music festival is taking place in New York City, and it’s widely regarded as one of the best and most comprehensive independent music festival around. Hundreds of artists playing at a multitude of venues all across the city, many shows free, many shows all ages, make for an excellent [...]

Prison maybe? Possibly missionary work in some country whose native language is the clicks and whistles of a South African tribe? Those [...]

The Mhurs gave us a generous preview of their album “In Another Tongue” a couple of months ago. The four tracks they shared, two of them tender emotional outpourings and two of them loud, adventurous rockers, had us pretty excited for the full length, but they did beg the question: can these two styles be [...]

Well it’s actually just 1,2,3 lead singer Nic Snyder, but watch out for the improvised Frank Sinatra reference and Nic disappearing into a giant dumpster at the end, it all fits with the “Work” theme. This is an every day occurrence for me…..mainly because I’m jumping into dumpsters looking for food, but still! Connect with 1,2,3 -  Facebook | Twitter | MySpace | Website
