Fourth Of July's sophomore record "Before Our Hearts Explode!" is a searching, scathing expose' of the space between two people in the endgame of a relationship. Distances, infidelities, drunk dials and rumor mills all collide in a flash to light up the landscape of losing love. With their pleading hooks and helpless candor, the songs on "Before Our Hearts Explode!" capture the racket of heartbreak and the wild catharsis of making music out of how it feels.

The Daily What takes the cake for best riff on this Nyan Cat ode to America's birthday: "We hold these Pop Tarts to be self-evident, that all Nyans are created equal, that they are endowed by their Cat with certain unalienable Rainbows, that among these are Nyan, Nyanity, and the pursuit of Nyaniness." Context for those scratching their heads . Tweet
Happy Independence Day, Shufflers! For this American holiday, we've put together a playlist of songs that (sort of) reminds us of July 4. Well, at least, some of the titles give rise to the occasion. Some of them are more summer themed than anything else, but it's all in good spirit. Let's just be honest, there aren't THAT many American pride indie rock songs. The playlist spans genres across the board, from indie pop (Stars) to experimental (Animal Collective) to folk (Iron & Wine). Feel free to leave a comment with your favorite Fourth of July-inspired songs. [...]

Happy Fourth everyone. For today, I thought I'd offer something a little different; a free mixtape (haven't done that in a while). The songs don't have any particular Fourth of July tinge or any super-American inflection behind them. They're just a bunch of songs that fit particularly well for summer 2011. You can check out the tracklist and grab the download below. So, enjoy. 1. Surprise Hotel - Fool's Gold 2. Vibrationz - Javelin [...]

Philadelphia has annually been treated to music and fireworks on the Parkway in celebration of America's birthday, but this year is set to be particularly impressive, being billed the "largest free concert in America."

What you eatin' this Fourth of July? Grillin' hot dogs and burgers out on the patio? Mm-hmmm, me too. Gotta get that grill good and hot, preferably just this side of a thermonuclear conflagration. Throw on them weenies, a few burgers, and forget about 'em until they're good and black. And you gotta have a cold beer or two (or seven) with that! Enjoy the Fourth, and keep on rockin.'
