Around about a month ago, Delaware trio FIANCÉ all too fleetingly arose to the surfaces of our attentions with the intoxicating amalgam of electronic and organic that was the therefore inappositely entitled Division though back vying for that same attention, adoration, and all else below can now be found its follow-up in the again beguiling form of For Now. This time that bit more straight-up, the indubitable Local Natives influence sticks about though as the samples subsequently abate, their refined ear for a debonair melody lingering lonesome about the key of despondence becomes that bit more [...]
Los hermanos Blake pasean en un auto clásico para el video de "Voces" El pasado sábado, División Minúscula se presentó en el escenario principal del festival Vive Latino 2013 con un éxito total, todos los asistentes que se encontraban en la plancha del Foro Sol viendo a los hermanos Blake, Luke, Ricci y Efrén, cantaron las canciones de su más reciente álbum División , así como de sus producciones anteriores, Sirenas , Defecto Perfecto y Extrañando Casa . Días después de este acontecimiento, la banda [...]
With its falsettoed coos of "touch me" à la Taylor Rice slathered lusciously atop a heady mélange of wilting guitar refrains and subdued whispering cymbals, which are in turn unorthodoxically married to compressed samples etc. Delaware pop troupe FIANCÉ make for an engaging, if indeed eccentric proposition. And there are contradictions so too in the terms of their applicable vocabulary ('babymaking' features as a SoundCloud tag branding this, the début track entitled Division) though we can but hope they keep together for the kids to comprise their audience if nothing else, for this is shiny, shiny power-pop at its [...]

Cuando digo División Minúscula no hablo sólo de una banda mexicana que ha dedicado una buena parte de su vida haciendo canciones a lo que nos pasa a diario. No. División Minúscula es un millón de historias adolescentes y posteriores, que inspiran desde escribir lo primero que se nos ocurra en las últimas hojas de [...]
Après la sortie de leur excellent second album le mois dernier, la bande déjanté des Naive New Beaters est de retour avec le clip de leur morceau phare, La Onda . Réalisée par l’équipe de Divisions Paris , la vidéo en mode amateur nous présente une facette beaucoup plus rebelle du groupe entre squatte, bar, bikers et lancé d'Eurobelix. De la folie pure comme on aime venant du groupe !

With the help of directors Fleur & Manu and producer DIVISION, M83 complete the saga of their supernatural protagonists with the video for "Reunion."
New Umphrey's McGee Video New video from Umphreys for Booth Love. Simple concept, cool visuals with Chicago focus and a great song. Look for a new live video coming from us for the band very soon!
There are very few bands from the US, let alone the world, who can write the type of gloriously over-the-top, take your breath away rock anthems made popular by world class acts such as Muse, u2, and the often forgotten genius of The Catherine Wheel. Golden State is one of them. This Los Angeles-based band has placed an array of songs on high-profile TV shows, film and commercials although they are not signed to a major label. This begs the questions; who needs a major when you have the songs [...]
Born in the college dorm room of John Kunkel back in 2005, The New Division have since blossomed into a four-piece who sit somewhere between the moody, new-wave British bands of the late 19802s and the new-found love for ambient synth-pop. That sounds like a hell of a lot of adjectives to throw at a band but it does go some way to describing just what it is that is getting the likes of NME and Picthfork so excited. With a couple of EP's and singles already under the belt and an album coming later this [...]

In my absence, please consider visiting any of my fantastic blogroll friends on you lower right hand side of this page. Be back in and around June 6th, till then slow down and listen a little...

Etienne De Crecy , what can be said? The man is a Godfather in the Electronic music scene, He's been making the "Finest in electronic since 1993" and is one of those artists that deserves to be praised for his longevity and style throughout it all! The video (Directed by Fleur & Manu ) is a beautiful collage of fractal imagery that dives further into itself before pulling a full reverse and bringing you back to the reality check that is...... Chubby guys have the best moves....deal with it! LOL [...]
Division was/is a band from the Western suburbs of Chicago. I'm pretty sure we first heard the band on All Ages Radio . Their first album Who Died | A Working Title was released in (I think) 2001 and their second album Conversational was released a few years later. These guys (Joe and Andy Chavez and drummer Mark Sampson) played emo-tinged pop-punk that garnered them tons of comparisons to bands like Smoking Popes and Alkaline Trio. The music was super-catchy but a little darker than most of the pop-punk that was being [...]
New music video directed by Fleur & Manu for the second single from Bag Raiders' self-titled debut release.
. As some of you already know, whilst we were handing out flyers for a previous show some months back, a girl took one from my outstretched hand, turned to her mate and said the immortal line without any signs of a smirk... "O h, The Recommender parties are great! If you come once, they'll make you come multiple times ". And so our strapline was was born. The ONLY blog party you need to know about is back and we bring you three more extraordinary artists to salivate over. We specialise in taking our online [...]
I like to think of myself as a logical, scientifically-minded man; one not prone to superstition or a belief in anything that even borders on the occult, and certainly one to steer well clear of the "healing power of crystals", lay-lines and all that nonsense. And yet I find myself compelled to confess that I was witness to some mysterious alchemy whilst preparing for this review. But before we delve further through The Scary Door , there's some background we should cover first: Tom Stephens has appeared twice before on this blog, first in a review of [...]

So I'm writing this four months to the day the day since the last one of these Pop Punk Junk entries was posted. Yes, all the links to the previous 13 are still live and they all still fucking rule. Check 'em out. As for this one, It's got bands I'm sure you know and love and others from bands like Division that don't exist anymore but that you oughta know.
