Listen Before You Buy

TweetShare It’s been ten years since The Strokes released the raw, genre-defining album “Is This It”, which has since been named the Best Album of the Decade by NME, among other titles and accolades. Holy shit! Ten years? It still sounds hip today, which cannot be said for a lot of other popular releases from [...]

TweetShare This song is a burner, clocking in at over 8 minutes long, so you should scroll down and hit play first before you read any further (presuming you wanted to read anything anyway…it’s not terribly insightful just so you know). The Horrors’ latest album “Skying” has been extremely well received, including by ourselves, with [...]

TweetShare Buy the album from Amazon – Vinyl / MP3 / CD There are a lot of people who still hate The Horrors for having the audacity to be lauded by the British music press before releasing a single note of music. When their first album dropped, it was subject to a wave of negativity [...]

TweetShare Oh how the love between a man and his shopping cart can really take its toll. This new video for Cloud Nothings‘ latest single “Nothing’s Wrong” shows just how far that love can go, and the lengths us guys will go to just to keep the wee guy all to ourselves, but I do [...]

TweetShare Keeping raw talent and power confined to a tiny space like this is unfair. What were you thinking, Dodge?  Stick them out in the garden or something where their sound can carry through the trees and soar on the wings of an eagle (cheesy enough?). This new and untitled song (although I’m gonna go [...]

TweetShare I’d say I’m about 906% sure that the concept for this video for Cloud Nothings‘ latest single “Understand At All”, was to pay homage to the title of the song as much as possible, because I’ve got absolutely no clue what’s going on. Well, I know what’s going on, I just have no idea [...]

TweetShare It’s peanut butter jelly time album-proper-time for Cloud Nothings, the much-lauded and muchly anticipated four-piece from Cleveland, Ohio.  Do you have 30 minutes to spare ’cause that’s all it’ll take to get through this album?  Sit down, kick off your feet, wriggle outta those pants, put on your headphones and hope that your boss [...]

TweetShare Can you name a Romanian indie rock band?  Nope, me neither, well not until today I couldn’t anyway.  Then I came across The Pixels. This four piece from Bucharest formed in 2006 and are on the La Strada label.  Having played at festivals alongside such names as UNKLE and dEUS, they released an album in [...]

TweetShare I’m actively killing music and the industry of which it’s a part of, just like home taping did and still does (peeps still home-tape, right?). Over the last couple of months myself and Riley from the awesome blog The Leaving Scene have been sharing some of the hardest-to-find and lesser-known Cloud Nothings tracks between [...]

TweetShare This morning NME premiered a brand new track by Clevelanders (Clevelandonians?) Cloud Nothings from their upcoming self-titled debut album due out in January via Carpark. Dylan Baldi, the 19 year-old dude behind Cloud Nothings, and his band of ravenous-for-the-jingle-jangle upstarts released “Turning On” last year, a compilation of sorts on Bridgetown Records, winning over [...]

TweetShare I recently sold a bunch of my CDs as I don’t use them anymore.  If I’m buying music it’s on vinyl or I’m downloading it and when I took them to the record shop 10 miles away the owner turned out to be from the U.K. too, the only other person I’ve met from [...]

TweetShare On Tuesday NME got their hands on the first ever airing of the new Foals video for “Miami”.  On Tuesday we had Male Bonding’s male bonding with guys frolicking and getting their tongues on, and today we have frolicking trannies (the gender kind) in “Miami”. “Miami” is taken from their just-released second album “Total [...]

TweetShare Taken from their upcoming sixth album “Butterfly House”, The Coral just released a free download of the title track by signing up for their mailing list.  It’s pretty standard The Coral with some Beatles harmonies and layers, but with three years since their last album it’s most very welcome. This won’t be a single [...]

TweetShare Summer Camp aren’t new.  Well…..that actually depends on your definition of new.  They don’t have an album yet.  Their label doesn’t even have them listed on their site yet (they do, but the page returns an error).  They have a single but you can’t buy it anywhere because it’s not released until April 12th. [...]

TweetShare With their second album “Total Life Forever” due out in the middle of May, Foals have already released “Spanish Sahara” as a free download and now a new video for “This Orient” which features on the upcoming album. I loved “Spanish Sahara”, especially the last two minutes of it, and these two songs together [...]

TweetShare The quality of the rip is a little on the poor side, but the quality of the music is not.  Ripped from NME Radio and sent to WeAllWantSomeone, it’s a brand new song that features on the upcoming movie “Greenberg” starring Ben Stiller.  The soundtrack features more music by LCD frontman James Murphy, so [...]
