Listen Before You Buy

What really sets Marques Toliver apart is that thereis nothing out there that sounds quite like him. Being classically trained has allowed him to find an incredible balance between composers like Bach and global pop/R’n’B superstars like Beyoncé or John Legend.

We all know the story by now. The follow up to The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds”, “SMiLE” was to be Brian Wilson’s masterwork, a guaranteed psych-pop classic that would demonstrate the breadth of sound that could be achieved in a recording studio, throwing down the gauntlet to all other rock and pop artists. That is, [...]

Jinja Safari is the brainchild of Marcus Azon & Cameron ‘Pepa’ Knight, two Australian musicians by way of Sydney. I’ve been a big fan of them since I first heard them on the Australian blog AndPluckYourStrings, so it should be openly noted that this review comes from the standpoint of big fan. They’re one of [...]

Buy the album on Amazon – Vinyl | MP3 | CD I think it’s safe to say that most of us know The Kooks from the incredibly catchy 2006 single “She Moves In Her Own Way” that earned them a nomination at the Brit Awards.  Now they’re back with their third studio release, “Junk Of The Heart”, and [...]

An opening track called “We Will Never Be Discovered” is just asking to be discovered.  How very clever of The City And Horses.  Though, the quirky, catchy tune is hard to ignore – think Architecture In Helsinki meets Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros, combining quirky and poppy melodies with a folksy twist and a [...]

The last time we did this we gave away every single free MP3 that we posted during the month of July….and even though it was hundreds of megabytes in size, there were over 1,000 downloads of it, but this month, or for last month’s mix, we’re just going to give you the tracks that we [...]

Not ones to shy away from getting work done, New York’s Miniature Tigers have already completed the follow-up to 2010′s “F O R T R E S S”, which was the follow-up to their 2008 Indie-Jangle-Pop album “Tell It To The Volcano”, which was the follow-up to them just pissing about in their bedroom. Now [...]

Up until now nobody knew what this was, other than some kinda of collaboration between Bon Iver and James Blake after Blake threw out a tweet saying about that much, oh, and that it was going down today. It could’ve just been that today they were doing the collab, or that today they were just [...]

It’s becoming evident the more I listen to Alex Winston, that she’s more than capable of putting any other songstress to shame when it comes to creating infectious -fun-filled music. In 2011 she’s really been finding her feet as more and more people begin to take notice, but yet she’s still horrendously under-appreciated. Songs like [...]

We’re less than a month away from San Francisco’s Girls and their latest album “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” and even though the album leaked a week or so ago thanks to some fuckwit Swedish journalist, for the most part it’s stayed out of blogs and sites. The first track we heard was “Vomit” and I don’t [...]

This is almost exactly the same as Lana Del Rey‘s original version of her video although some tool took offense to her using some images of the sky he took and wanted it removed, so she reworked it, took out the images and some Disney scenes and switch it up a bit.  It’s the same. [...]
