can you dance? yes…you can.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? When two titans collide and a magic so organic and so perfect simply happens and you’re left to wonder what ever kept these forces apart in the first place? Don’t believe me? Grab a listen to U Can Dance, the blistering new single from two of [...]

these girls fall like dominos…

“As soon as I love her it’s been too long
And I really loved breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on I was wrong
The hardest love has the coldest end”
From London with love comes The Big Pink. A brash duo consisting of Robbie Furze (vox, guitars) and Milo Cordell (keys) who’ve [...]

introducing…spleen united!

“The city really loves you, baby
But the city never really does
The feeling of corruption stays and
And, then you think about the things you’ve lost”
Their sound has been described as “a rock version of Underworld” and reminds listeners of acts such as Cut Copy and Depeche Mode. Upon reading that, I had [...]

a direct hit. there’s gold in them thar hills…

Brand spankin’ new band alert! It’s yet another brilliant electronic pop band out of London. This one goes by the name of Monarchy and they are quite good! Very good, in fact. Not much info is known of the band although I’m sure that will soon change as their name gets bandied about more and [...]

these guys can’t get huge fast enough…

It’s a good time to live in the Brooklyn area these days. A wealth of talent just seems to be springing up from every crack in the pavement from Bushwick to Red Hook to ’round the corner from the Kellogg’s Diner in my dear Williamsburg. There just seems to be a new solid local band [...]

my hearing is just fine, thank you very much…

Bow down to the master.
Here’s some good news for you. There’s a brand spanking new song from Thom Yorke of the almighty Radiohead making its way through the hallowed internets. It’s called Hearing Damage and it’s just lovely. The bad news…? It’s on the soundtrack for the upcoming film New Moon aka the next chapter of [...]

don’t look now…here come the bunnymen!

Look. This band needs no introduction. The band were a perfect blend of the Doors, Bowie and the last vestiges of punk. A lead singer who not only was cool but personified the word and gave it a new meaning and thus offering a blueprint for future frontmen to adopt and follow. A guitarist who [...]

a direct hit: spiral into the storm.

A quick hit for you.  I’m sure you all remember how much I loved the new non-album single from the Friendly Fires called Kiss Of Life? You could imagine my joy when I took a gander at my inbox and found a submission by a talented artist from Toronto named Will who operates under the [...]

who says nyc hip hop is dead…?

It’s the return…of one of New York’s finest. It’s been a long time. A really long time since we last heard from Anti-Pop Consortium, the seminal art-rap trio long considered one of our fair city’s underground treasures since their formation in 1997. A slew of singles and four full-length records, most notably 2000’s Tragic Epilogue [...]

dark angels rise and cross the horizon…

“the time for revelation’s gone now
we can stand on our own feet
do you believe in power
while they march in their divisions
we’ll go dancing on their dreams
While the empires crash down”
Fresh off the release of their debut full-length Midnight Of The Century, we have the promotional film for the single Flight Of [...]
