Anchorless Records have announced the third installment in their 4-way split series. Volume 3 will feature Off With Their Heads , The Slow Death , Sundowner , and The Outsiders . The split is due out sometime this summer. Previous volumes have featured Brendan Kelly ( The Lawrence Arms ), Chris Cresswell ( The Flatliners ), Mike Hale ( Gunmoll ), Jeff Rowe , Dead to Me , The Holy Mess , In The Red , and How Dare You .

A while back we posted a couple of tunes from Anchorless on our Twitter and Facebook pages and they went over pretty well. We'll give you three guesses as to who's back? Yes it's true... Anchorless has returned with an album in tow. Every Nook And Cranny consists of nine songs recorded with energy and passion, and it's an album not afraid to admit that it is all about a good pop-song. Recordings and mixing were done by the band’s own Jakob Reichert [...]
"Awry aesthetics" is the opening track of the upcoming Anchorless ablum "Every nook and cranny" and once again , it sounds a lot more like REM than their debut EP did.

Singles on SoundCloud from new releases featuring: Anchorless, Autoband, Leisure, Like Spinning, Miike Snow, Matt Pryor, and School of Seven Bells. Anchorless - "Settle with the Signs" from Every Nook And Cranny out February 6 on Pony Records "Settle with the Signs" is full of jangly arpeggios and bouncy beats reminiscent of early REM. The Danish sextet will satisfy those longing for the days of 80s college [...]

RUSSIA : Big Echo Arktor - Pier ft. Didjelirium Раз в месяц тайный музыкальный альянс, состоящий из 36 музыкальных блогов со всего, собирается вместе, чтобы собрать гигантский сборник. Это что-то вроде ВТО, только без нарушений прав человека. 2012 год уже не за горами и давление подведения итогов чувствуется буквально в каждом mp3 файле. Русский выбор на этот месяц – работа Artkor, о которой я в деталях рассказывал в одном из [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Sonicbrat - Bed Of Forty Winks Sonicbrat is the enduring moniker of sound artist Darren Ng, whose work is characterised by an intricate tapestry of field recordings and found sounds, strung together by subtly processed acoustic instrumentation with a classical bent. Gentle, stirring and complex, Ng's music is the sort that invites itself into and comfortably inhabits one's imagination. His latest release, Hana, is his musing on the [...]

ROMANIA : Babylon Noise Absurdcus - Puppy Slippers Absurdcus is the solo project of Transylvanian bass player/multi-instrumentalist Laszlo Demeter.

His music stylistically ranges from alternative rock and funk to electronica and even metal. You can download his debut album here . [...]

I didn't know what to get you for Christmas... so I came up with an idea. The Jukebox player on the right-hand side of this blog was launched 17 months ago and, since then, 39 people have paid £5 each to get a track on it for a month, raising a total of £180.06 (after PayPal took their cut). I pledged to use every donation "to support grassroots music" and now you're about to find out what I blew the budget on... I've been a huge fan of [...]

Beinahe zwei Jahre hat es nun gedauert, bis wir den ersten Schweizer Mundart-Künstler beim Music Alliance Pact eingereicht haben. Es handelt sich um Alejandro Jiménez, der am 9. Dezember seine neue Platte "Nabelschau" veröffentlicht hat. SWITZERLAND : 78s Alejandro Jiménez - Die Fragestellung In Frage Stellen Alejandro Jiménez is actually more poetry slam than singer-songwriting. He also [...]

Dance Macabre NEW ZEALAND : Einstein Music Journal The Eversons - I'm A Conservative Fronted by Mark Turner (ex-Little Pictures) and with Chris Young (Insurgents, No Aloha), Tim Shann and Blair Everson, The Eversons have a crisp, clear garage-rock vibe that strongly recalls Art Brut and American college rock with its undeniable [...]

Não há Júlia nem carjacking, por aqui. Há apenas o muito talento de João Correia (voz, guitarras, percussão) e Bruno Pernadas (guitarra). Depois de um ano após o lançamento do seu EP de estreia, com a ajuda de alguns amigos, este duo editou o seu álbum de estreia, "Parasol". A surpresa é grande e boa, tendo em conta os inúmeros projectos nacionais sem personalidade, que se limitam a pobres imitações de bandas estrangeiras do momento; muitas vezes, com a caricata característica de "cantarem" num inglês aprendido em sopas de letras. "Parasol" bronzeia e não provoca escaldões. [...]
