Listen Before You Buy

TweetShare A new direction this is not. It’s the same direction Black Lips have been going in for the last few years or so, not that it’s a bad thing, but you might think it’s false advertising if you take them at their word.   If you’ve been following the band for the last few [...]

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 If this new video by Black Lips doesn’t get you craving the warm sun of summer, scantily-clad ladies (or dudes), and ice-cold beverages then you might as well just go into hibernation for the next seven months and enjoy the cold of your hidey-hole. Even though the video’s a little reminiscent of Wavves’ latest visual atrocity for “King [...]

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 It’s been a while since I posted some new music from Hard Mix but almost six months later here’s your next joyful installment. To be fair though the last time I posted about him I did give you his (almost) entire discography to pick through and download, all for free, and all courtesy of [...]

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 can’t get enough of this kinda music lately, it’s just so ethereal and relaxing (to me at least). Not usually associated with music like chillwave (please, can we get some confirmation on whether it’s an actual genre or not yet?), bitterTV is from Russia where it’s stereotypically freezing.  Maybe that’s why he makes [...]

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 could’ve made this post a couple of ways.  Because Hard Mix has a shitload of songs all available for free, I could’ve made one giant post with all of his music, or I could’ve split it up into three posts, with five songs or so for each post.  My only problem is that [...]

TweetShare Not one, but TWO! brand new songs from Atlanta’s garage-punk-rockers Black Lips. Last time around (just over two weeks ago) they released “Before You Judge Me”, their first new song via Adult Swim’s eight new songs in eight new weeks thinger.  That jam was a lot slower and more melodic than this new one, [...]
