What a year. More than 140 Los Angeles-sired albums passed through the Buzz Bands LA headphones this year, not counting EPs, mixtapes and singles. Judging from the detritus at my desk — handwritten lists, stacks of CDs, press releases — and my unopened emails, there were a lot more out there. It came in all flavors. 2012 was a robust year for folkies and faux-folkies, hard rock and harder rock, for electro and popgazers, for scads of seemingly interchangeable garage-rockers, for radio bands and scruffy DIYers, for electronic dance music and electronic dumb music, for R&B and glitch&B [...]

45. David Ramirez - Apologies - Singer / Songwriter David Ramirez wrote the wonderfully introspective folk album that is at times extremely downtrodden and sad, it's a personal, wear your heart-on-your-sleeves kind of record, that's posed in a songwriter / storyteller fashion. With his rough voice, and country-tinged music, this may be the most telling and open album of the year, and that is a great thing. Listen: David Ramirez - Paper Thin | Buy: Apologies 44. Reptar - Body Faucet [...]

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros have a built a rabid following over the past three years, on the back of their debut release Up From Below . With hits like " Home " and " Janglin ," they were soon finding their way into mainstream TV shows and commercials and on the lips of even least in-tune. This past year, the band released their follow-up, Here - a slightly more subdued record. When they visited the Do317.com [...]
Filed under: Video , Exclusive , New Music Laure Vincent-Bouleau In the three years since Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros hit it big with "Home," the ensemble has returned to their organic beginnings. While the energy of their breakout song had people everywhere whistling merrily, the band truly shines in more stripped-down performances. On stage, frontman Alex Ebert and and the rest of the Magnetic Zeros are a no-frills [...]
One of the nifty little vinyl releases that sneaked onto the shelves on Record Store Day was a split 7-inch featuring a previously unreleased song from Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes , "Give Me a Sign," and "Raven's Song," a tune off Aaron Embry's breathtaking album "Tiny Prayers." We missed it a couple months ago, but both songs were on the Community Music Sampler released free via Alex Ebert's indie label. Also on the compilation: Cornelius, Soko, Alexander's collab with The RZA on "Truth" and a song from Christian Letts of the Magnetic Zeroes and Rocco [...]
The Remix Artist Collective (RAC) has been pleasing the indie and dance music communities since 2007, but we're only just now being given the chance to look back on some of the lovely tunes birthed by members Andre Anjos, Andrew Maury, and Karl Kling over the last several years with the release of their Chapter One remix compilation album. The group explains the title of the album as representative of the first chapter of their career, indicating there may be much, much more to come. RAC includes their remixes for tracks like Edward Sharpe [...]

No matter how "zany" they come off; though the general public may be threatened by their "cult-like" appearance; as music fans we must realize it's OK! Because Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros sophomore release is not to be overlooked. Steadfast in their vision, the album, Here, comes fully realized: no weak spots, just earthy [...]

This beautiful video was made by Sharpe fans in Poland and showcases some stunning footage of the city where this website started. Awesome.
Maia - The Grandfather Plan The elegant, exotic first offering from Huddersfield band Maia's forthcoming second album, The Grandfather Plan (out 5 November) gives me the same feeling I have when I've witnessed a genuine good deed, or had an unusually happy dream; as when my friend Catherine recently told me some fabulous news. Hearing that gorgeous trumpet makes me want to smile and hug myself and tell my diary that everything's going to be fine. Gerard Manset - Revivre [...]

Le groupe Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros diffuse depuis hier le clip de leur titre Child , extrait de leur dernier album Here sorti courant mai de cet année. Une vidéo réalisée par Michal Byra dans laquelle on retrouve un vieillard hospitalisé qui finalement s'échappe avec sa petite fille pour aller s'amuser et profiter de la vie comme dans sa jeunesse. Un clip lourd en message et fort en émotion, que le réalisateur a su consolider avec ces très beaux plans. Les 10 membres du groupe nous annoncent d'ailleurs un prochain album pour l'année 2013 à [...]
One of the prettiest moments on the second Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros album "Here" is the song "Child," written and performed by guitarist Christian Letts. Through the website Genero.tv , the band ran a contest for fan-made videos. A director named Michał Byra earned the $5,000 top prize for this clip, one of 78 entries . "This video absolutely blew us away," the band wrote on its Facebook page. "We don't know much about the filmmaker other then they are from Poland. A really beautiful tale and extremely well executed."Agreed.
