Hugh Augustine and Al B Smoov come in with their full length LP 'Word Is Bond'. Err... no relation. I did get this from our E-Mail vaults though. Anyway, it's nice. Al B Smoov lives up to his name with some silky nice production while Hugh Augstine, who we've featured a bit before , is on the lyrics.

Once again we've got a bit swamped with new videos in the last week or so, therefore we thought we'd condense our favourites into one handy little post for you to enjoy. We have new offerings from Blood Red Shoes ahead of their third LP due out next week, another stunner from Breton - who have made one of the best albums you'll hear all year - and a live video from Abbey Road featuring the brilliant We Are Augustines . We also have videos from The Shutes who release an EP [...]

The transition from Winter into Spring is always a wonderful thing. While there is much to love about the darkest months of the year, there comes a point when we all need the sunshine, a little bit of light to shine our way. The same, of course, can be said about life itself. We fight through the difficult moments and try to find a way to break through into bigger, better and brighter times. It's these moments that make us who we are and re-define what out lives are really all about. We Are Augustines are certainly a [...]

Honest Management presents the fifth visual single from Rashid Hadee titled The All featuring Augustine. This time we find the Chi-town emcee and his compadre on one of the illest dates you've seen. Ever wonder what happens when a young tries to "play you," then turn around and attempt to go out with you? Well, in the humorously twisted mind of Rashid Hadee, you find out exactly what happens. He and Augustine are not the ones to try and run game on, or you might have to tell your incoming calls you're a little "tied up" at the moment. As [...]

27th February will see the release of Chapel Song , the new single from Brooklyn's We Are Augustines. Following on from the success of their debut single Book Of James, the single precedes the UK release of the bands debut LP Rise Ye Sunken Ships (released in the US last year), which will see the light of day on these shores on March 5th. The band play a decent amount of European shows over the next few weeks in support of the release. You can check them out [...]
I love Freeez 's 'I.O.U.', it's a track with a lot of memories for me. SO bearing in mind I['m going to be over critical about any reworks of the track, I have to say Augustin 's Disco edit really works. Augustin has chopped the track up and given it a 21st century dancefloor makeover. Some of the beats are a little rough when listening on headphones but I'm sure they would go down a stormed in the club. The tracks got a nice build to it too, definitely one to drop. [...]

In 2007, I had the opportunity to see Pela perform at South By Southwest in Austin. Their performance spurred be to hunt down their terrific record, Anytown Graffiti. Records like this are the reason this website exists. While I thought it was one of the best records I heard that year, I rarely heard reference to it in the music magazines or in the blogosphere. It spurred me to start a website where I could highlight these gems that seemed to escape notice. Much to my chagrin, Pela broke up and I lost track of [...]

In the first months of this blog's existence, Pela , one of my favorite bands at the time, announced their breakup. Their debut LP, Anytown Graffiti , was the anthem of my summer as a camp counselor and a worthy companion on endless roadtrips I took at the time. Without a doubt, the impact this album had on me back then marks it as one of my favorites released in the past five years. Fast forward to now. Pela is broken up, but it's members are more [...]

Rashid Hadee "Magnificent" Ft. Primeridian & Augustine New track from Rashid Hadee "Magnificent" featuring Primeridian & Augustine.
Augustines - "Book of James" from the forthcoming album.
Rashid Hadee's mixtape, 808's & Hadee from last year is still in heavy rotation and was a criminally underrated project. Here's another chance for you to sample the product. Hadee provides the visuals for "Lose Control," which takes a snippet from the last year's emo beat du jour and spruces it up with a bouncy backdrop. You like, right? Now go get the mixtape .
