A couple of up-and-coming bright spots in the indie music world came through Milwaukee on Saturday, in the form of two bands: White Arrows and Beat Connection. Cactus Club is always a pleasurable place to see a show, with a mellow, dive-bar environment coupled with a great venue room that features great sound. Saturday was no different, highlight by two bands that knew what they were doing on stage. Neither band featured too much stage presence or crowd interaction, but that will come with time and granted, there weren't a whole lot of people there to interact [...]

Sunday is the day you want to sleep off that hangover, relax and get ready for the long horrific week at work. Instead I manned up, put on my dancin' shoes and hit The Drake Hotel for Beat Connection with White Arrows and Teen Daze. We unfortunately missed Teen Daze , sorry dudes, your recordings are pretty great and I wanted to see what you brought to your live set. We did manage to catch White Arrows though, which was a pleasant surprise. It's always great when you catch a band you've never [...]
Electronic, Chillwave, Indie Pop - Seattle's Beat Connection sound like a mix of Daft Punk and The Drums with some Vampire Weekend thrown in for good measure. See them at Pittsburgh's Brillobox with White Arrows and Teen Daze on Tuesday 07-10-12. http://beatconnection.bandcamp .com Sample & Buy Music From Amazon!Help Support SoundHype! Follow @soundhype

Photo source: Beat Connection There are too many music festivals in New York City! With at least one festival hitting our city each week this past month, I personally take news about a new music festival with a very small grain of salt. There are, however, some festivals doing it right. Take Governors Ball for example. The two-day festival which took place on Randall's Island two weeks ago, was a diverse showcase of bands, both popular and rising, paired with great food, alcohol, and gorgeous weather. [...]
It's rare to find an electronic indie-pop dance band in 2012 that understands restraint when it comes to vocal effects. M83 toes the delicate line between tasteful and heavy-handed when it comes to vocal reverb and filters, but it seems there's a glut of derivative indie bands taking neo-disco beats and swirling in a heady mix of synthesizers, psychedelic droning, and ethereal vocals. So it's unbelievably refreshing to listen to the Seattle-based Beat Connection , and their new vocalist, Tom Eddy. Sounding just a touch like a combination of Chris Martin and Mark Foster, Eddy's vocals have a [...]

We've heard from Beat Connection several times but they just recently released their debut album The Palace Garden. Leave it to a Seattle group to create one of the sunniest summer songs of the year with "The Palace Garden, 4AM" which is perfect for a July day at 4PM or AM. Their sound has definitely [...]
Beat Connection have released yet another single, "Lotus Blossom", off of thier first full-length, The Palace Garden 4am. Beat Connection made a big imprint on 2010 with their perfect summer songs "In The Water" and "Silver Screen" . I'm happy to see them back with an album that again appeals to the warmer summer days. This time their music feels more like a respite from the sun and more like lounging in the shade. The album is available digitally in the US via Classic Ills on June [...]
The debut album is just over a month away and to celebrate, Seattle's Beat Connection have released their first single The Palace Garden, 4 AM which you can stream here: BUT, then there's the B-Side, which I personally think should be the A-side because it's bloody fantastic. It's a whole world away from side A and adds a completely new dimension to Beat Connection's music that quite frankly I never knew they possessed. But hey, it's available as a free download! So enjoy:

We gathered our team together this past Thursday, hoping to catch a great show over at Red 7 . Two of the much-hyped Interweb bands would be taking to the stage, so we figured we had to be there to see what they really had to offer. Our photographer Brian was on hand to snap some great pics despite being forced to shoot from behind and around the ridiculous amount of video cameras present. Read on for our thoughts.

CHeck out the new beat connection ! Beat Connection - Lotus Blossom
Much to the delight of indie electro fans everywhere, Seattle's Beat Connection is taking some time off from classes this summer to tour the country. They kicked off their nationwide dates at San Francisco's POPSCENE last Thursday. It's hard to believe that some of these guys are still in college because their sound is incredibly complex. An impressively advanced version of what we think electro/chill wave might look like when it’s all grown up. After officially adding a vocalist (Tom Eddy) and drummer (Jarred Katz) the boys of Beat Connection recently [...]
This is an infectious track by Beat Connection. This is the first we have talked about them here at The Eargazm, but your sure to be hearing more. Beat Connection consists of Jordan Koplowitz and Reed Juenger. Their music could be described as electro indie pop. Their new track is called The Palace Garden, 4am. It has a dreamy euphoric feel that puts you in a great mood instantly. Give this song a listen and look out for more from Beat Connection! Related posts: Killed By Synth - [...]
