TweetShare For those of you (mainly bloggers and writers) who’ve had this album for the last few weeks you’ll know just how good this is. For those of you who haven’t then you’re about to be bedazzled. It’s been over a year since Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin sauntered onto the scene as Cults with [...]

TweetShare I think it’s only fair that since they pushed back the release date of their eagerly-awaited debut album, that they put a new non-album track out there for us to hear, right? The song “Make Time” is listed on the Irish iTunes store as a single with a release date of May 6th meaning [...]

TweetShare With every new song that I hear from Cults, my anticipation-chubby gets that little bit more anticipatory. Does that even make sense? I don’t fucking know, but with the rash of new bands that came out last year and released/are releasing an album this year, Cults and Yuck might be the only two who [...]

TweetShare Unless you’ve seen Cults live in the last 12 months then this new song is the first in close to a year (except that “Oh My God” one they did with accompanying weird video). This time in 2010 they had only just come bounding onto the scene, layered-guitar-driven-dream-pop in tow.  They had upload three [...]

TweetShare In an effort to try to become more relevant, not necessarily to their name but just towards music in general, MTV have launched (March 16th) a new site called MTV Hive which is aimed at music discovery with a slant towards the indie side of things. Just looking at their homepage you’ll see artists [...]

TweetShare Subscribing to a new band’s Bandcamp RSS feed sometimes has its benefits. Usually they’re dormant, or at least the ones I subscribe too, but every now and again you’ll see them update and boom, an entire new album or EP to listen to for free and you’re one of the first to hear it. [...]

TweetShare Guards have been one of those acts to get genuinely excited about this year, popping up outta nowhere back in July and then people went nuts for them, mainly because it was so fucking solid. Well “them” is actually just one dude, Richie Follin, who’s the brother of Madeline Follin, the other half of [...]

TweetShare I know next to nothing about this band, other than Cults made a tweet late last night/early this morning saying they were featured on the new EP by a band called Guards and they linked to their Bandcamp page. So check it out I did and I’m glad I did, because it’s pretty fucking [...]

TweetShare I gush, what can I say?  Sorry?  Ok, maybe sometimes a “sorry” is warranted, but most of the time it’s not because I’m not the only one gushing. The latter part of that sentence is definitely true for Cults.  I gushed back in March when they showed up unannounced out of nowhere and turned us all [...]

TweetShare Along with Gauntlet Hair, Sleigh Bells, BRAHMS, and Burnt Ones, Cults round out my top five buzz bands of the year so far. They burst onto the scene back in late February, early March with three ridiculously catchy songs, the biggest hit of which was “Go Outside”.  This is what appears to be the [...]

TweetShare Cults, the mysterious and much hyped band that burst onto the scene a few weeks back have signed with Forest Family Records.  FFR is a brand new record label, founded by Gorilla vs Bear and Weekly Tape Deck, and their first release is a limited 7″ run of 400 copies of “Go Outside” (the [...]

TweetShare Eight days ago a mysterious, unknown band called Cults uploaded three songs (“Go Outside”, “Most Wanted”, and “The Curse”) to their Bandcamp page that quickly started being passed around the interwebs among bloggers and music fans alike.  The fact that these three songs are pretty damn good but yet little-to-nothing was known about them [...]
