Everybody likes a good cover song. They are coming out all of the time, but only receive scattered coverage on blogs and mainstream music websites. Our approach has been to build up a solid mix of indie cover songs over time, and publish them in less frequent, but more extensive, playlists. There are some terrific cover [...] Related posts:Top Indie Songs of the Week: Grand Archives, Free Energy, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Radiohead and More Indie Cover Songs, Vol. V: The Format, Ruby Weapon, Radiohead, Broken Social Scene, Dr. Dog & Band of Horses Indie Cover Songs, Vol III: [...]
![[MP3] Bromheads: "Fan of the Vagrants"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2518246_lg.jpg)
It's like Saturday is day-where-I-post-things-about- bands-I've-previously-posted-a bout day. Earlier this morning it was sing-speak rockers mewithoutYou, and now it's UK-based Bromheads , who I first wrote about at the turn of the decade . They've just released a new MP3 for your downloading pleasure called "Fan of the Vagrants," and it's pretty much what you'd expect: quick, fun and simple rock with an absurdly catchy hook at the center. The song also has that Bromheads tendency to sound like it goes on for a full four minutes, even though the track is barely more than two. It's not nearly a [...]

Okay. Are you PSYCHED for the WEEKEND?! Snow days, Valentine's Day, President's Day... heck, just any old Friday is cause for celebration. For awesome music. Free music. Even in the face of Google shutting down music blogs without warning (aka #Musicblogocide2k10 ), we here at EAR FARM feel it's high time for another dose of 100 percent free and legal tunes (we think) from our inboxes direct to your ears. Seriously, we're calling these 100 percent free and legal tunes because they're sent to us by record labels and bands themselves with the [...]

One of the first bands I should point out from this month's Sheffield Music Scene is Bromheads , they are giving away a free track this month called Magic Number. Yes, they do mention the number 3 but it's not a cover of Bob Dorough's much covered song (Embrace and De La Soul versions spring to mind). It is however an upbeat track which didn't really match my mood as a drove through the rain towards work the first time I listened to it. Oh and talking of covers, the band have previously covered "These Boots Are [...]
Depois do delicioso álbum 'Dits from the Commuter Belt' e do seu (pouco interessante) sucessor 'On the Brain', os Bromheads Jacket regressam ao palco, desta vez com novo nome, simplesmente Bromheads, e lançaram no 1º dia deste ano um novo single, "Magic Number", que é muito fixe, parecendo regressar aos bons velhos tempos de 2006. O tema está disponível para download gratuito no site oficial da

Whew... almost missed out on the first Friday Mixtape of 2010! See, it's been busy here between the hoidays, and my regular schedule has gone to the dogs whilst I'm on a short vacation with my family. Not to mention that SquirrelFood HQ is getting fresh paint, and so all my technology is unplugged, boxed and hiding beneath a drop cloth in the middle of a room, now colored "Wild Honey". Yep, sounds tasty doesn't it?. Anyway, I managed to dig out the lappy two thousand, and connect to somebody's network to upload this first volume of the year. I [...]
When I first listened to "Magic Number," courtesy of UK-based lamp-lovers Bromheads , I enjoyed it but at the same time wasn't particularly thrilled. So I went back to saving babies from house fires, like any usual day, but I realized that after about three minutes the song was irrevocably stuck in my head. Irrevocably . So I listened again, enjoyed it a hell of a lot more, then did some detective work and found a video for the song (journalism!). It's nice and quick, a dirty combination of guitar and drums that you'd sing along to if [...]
