Australian duo The Presets unveiled the next installment of their upcoming album “Pacificia”, due this September. The two already released their first single earlier in June entitled “Youth In Trouble”. From there, we heard an obvious distinction from their pop induced 2008 album, Apocalypso, and this one. We’re introduced to a now more heavier sound, one with [...]

Considering how soon you might see this, the electro-pop collective Two Door Cinema Club released a free download for one day only.

Released from their third album, Fragrant World, Yeasayer has released their second tune “Longevity”, which so far has us impressed. Out August 21 on Secretly Canadian, the song already has an “official vignette” of the track created by Yoshi Sodeoka. For tour dates and more details about the band, check out .

It’s been a long time since Passion Pit hit the airwaves, and everyone should remember what this bands made of. From previous hits like “The Reeling” and “Sleepyhead”, the Boston natives made a huge first impression, and it was smooth sailing from there. Heavy basslines, classic sampling, and melodic progressions, we can definitely admit that [...]

We can definitely get used to this. Matthew Dear is to drop a new album following his 2010 debut of “Black City”. The new album is to be released 7/28 on Ghostly International. It’s entitled “Beams”, and there really couldn’t be any better word that can excite us this much. We’ve always been familiar with Dear’s [...]

The follow up video for M83′s “Midnight City” has just been released, and there’s no better song to sequel this awesome narrative than with “Reunion”. We’re starting to see why the band named their album “Hurry Up We’re Dreaming”, with a back story that everyone once lusted for when they were young. Directed by Fleur & [...]

Seattle’s Beat Connection are prepping for their upcoming LP release, entitled “Palace Garden”. It will be available on June 19th for digital release, and we highly recommend to mark that date.

First of all, we’d like to say thank you to the fan goer who recorded a live upcoming song of The xx at the Battersea Art Centre. It wasn’t for you, this would never had happened. The xx introduced “As I Am” in concert, and do we love it. From the familiar simple guitar melody, backed [...]

We love Fitz and The Tantrums. There’s way too many reasons why, so don’t get us started. The band gave us another reason to send our love their way – a free EP! Without saying anything more, click the above link, or go the their website, and grab the free five song EP now! [...]

There’s no better way to announce a new album than making an eerie, self-reflective video with little clues of what should be expected. Finally, Animal Collective’s follow up album, entitled Centipede Hz, is to be released in September on Domino. Pre-oders of a 7″ b/w vinyl are already available, with “Honeycomb” and “Gotham” featured on each [...]

Moheak Radio and Goldenvoice were very proud to present The Wombats, alongside Static Jacks and The Neighbourhood, at The El Rey. Where should we start? Both opening bands were universally solid, which is always a plus when the anticipation of the main attraction is on the corner of our minds. And of course, the reason many [...]

Another banger for the kids. Martin Solveig’s EP is quite delicious. With the drop of his EP quickly followed by an A-Track remix, Solveig took that remix and made another remix. So it’s a song made into another song, made into another. Confusing, but we don’t care. Take a listen.

Everybody has heard and seen the video of Chris Chu and The Morning Benders, supported by a full orchestra, as they performed their hit live, “Excuses”. Ever since its viral appearance, The Morning Benders began swinging with their drop of their album Big Echo. Since then we haven’t heard too much from the band, besides [...]

(Photo from Coachella) This years Coachella festivities definitely generated a huge buzz. Considering this year’s two weekends, festival goers had questions as far as what artists would have in store. After hearing the drama the occurred in the deserts of Week 1, with surprise guests left and right and not to mention the rare precipitation, many Week [...]

LA natives OFF! will be releasing their full-length self-titled debut on May 8th via Vice. We’re excited for our legendary Keith Morris, and what he has in store for their debut. With the video “Wiped Out” already out, as well as the tune “King Kong Brigade”, we’re almost positive to be expecting that classic hardcore-punk [...]

Beach House has already announced it’s May 15th drop of the new album “Bloom” via Sub Pop, but they’ve been constantly teasing us of what to expect. With songs like “Myth” & “Lazuli” revealed (if you haven’t heard, now’s a good time), the dream pop duo have already teamed up with Record Store Day for an [...]

For those of you who live in California, we feel your pain. This year’s Lollapalooza’s lineup is once again packed. So packed to the point where flying out to Chicago seems reasonable, considering who’ll be on stage at Grant Park Aug 3-5. From The Black Keys, The Shins, Toro Y Moi, Justice, M83, SBTRKT, Washed Out, [...]

USC’s Derby Days is a non-profit organization that organizes consistently impressive concerts for charity, with previous names like Miami Horror and Young the Giant. In partnership with Children’s Hospital LA, Derby Days has donated more than $200,000 to local hospitals. This year, they doubled the whammy with both NY rapper Theophilus London and electronic singing duo [...]

It was a beautiful night at The El Rey. With an awesome audience by my side, the show was spoiled by beautiful sounds. Opening for the main attraction, Gull, a one man project, tripped everyone out. With guitar riffs in one hand, drumsticks in the other, it was a surprise to hear layers of chord progressions [...]

Being a huge M83 fan, I’ve always been scavenging for remixes of any of the many hits on their new album. Unfortunately, none has ever sufficed, and disappointment eventually became consistent (well, maybe except for the Trentmoller Remix). However, The Knocks, along side vocalist Mandy Lee, totally flip “Midnight City” into a whole different spectrum, while [...]
