Listen Before You Buy

The Morning Clouds’s Josh Wambeke makes songs that are as lush and teenage dreamy as Beach House, as pop and sunny as a lazy Beach Boys single, with the ability to lose themselves in the influence of Nirvana and My Blood Valentine.

Watch the new video for Dënver’s song “Los Bikers”.

TweetShare In case any of you have been wondering, when we at LBYB take to the social medias and ask you what you’re listening to, we’re really paying attention. We listen to what you post. About two weeks ago, our wonderful Facebook follower Pablo Alarcón posted a track by Dënver, and we’ve not really stopped [...]

TweetShare Late night surprises are extremely rare (at least the good ones anyway), but I got one in the wee small hours of this morning. In my Direct Messages on Twitter was a message from the dude who runs The Leaving Scene linking me to a new Tennis track.  It’s the B-side to their just-released [...]

TweetShare One of the blogs I frequent and trust with new music is Knox Road. There are a few people who, when posting new music, I’ll always listen to because I trust their taste, and Knox Road is one of them.  Last week they posted about I Am The Dot and before I got the [...]

TweetShare Spinning off from cult Denver band The Vanity, where he played bass from 2005-2007, Kamtin Mohager is now known as The Chain Gang Of 1974.

A couple of weeks ago I posted two of their songs, then another [...]

TweetShare I owe this guy an apology. 22 year-old James Cooley (or Mesita under his musical moniker) sent me his music a while ago and it’s taken me this long to get it up on the site.  So apologies, James. He’s been releasing music for a couple of years now, most of which is available [...]

TweetShare No sooner had I made my post about Tennis than Patrick (from Tennis) had sent me a mastered version of “South Carolina”, a song that was previously only available as a demo.  He sent it to me yesterday, so I apologise for the delay, but it’ll be worth it. Well now you have three [...]

TweetShare There are three, maybe four songs from Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley, this husband and wife duo from Denver, Colorado floating around t’internet. That’s a shame because I’ve been doing nothing but listening to those songs over the last three days, especially with the onslaught of gorgeous weather and a summer breeze, they accompanied [...]
