"This is some kind of fantastic," thought we upon hearing the widgeted number below. And no wonder: Kids On A Crime Spree are headed by Oaklander (former San Antonioan) Mario Hernandez, previously of Ciao Bella and longtime faveband From Bubblegum To Sky. Slumberland Records will launch KOACS's EP, We Love You So Bad, on 31 May. Schweet!Oh, and for good measure, here's a FBTS song we previously
There's a really long back-story that goes into the foundation of Kids on a Crime Spree , starting somewhere back in Stockholm with Mario Hernandez then eventually leading him all the way back to California where he grabbed his old friends from From Bubblegum to Sky , and captured a set of tracks that's sure to win over loads of fans around the Internet. The band is set to release their EP, We Love You So Bad , on Slumberland Records on May 31st. While it does [...]

Enjoy. - 30 Through 21 - 30) : Oh No Oh My - Wam Bam Thank You Spaceman (Daytrotter) : ONOM is one of [...]

The Remix Artist Collective (RAC) - это международный коллектив независимых музыкантов, которые занимаются исключительно производством ремиксов. У них за спиной сотрудничество с такими монстрами как: CSS, Block Party, The Whip, Justice, Tokyo Police Club и др. Звучание у RAC довольно специфическое. Это может быть хип-хоповый бит сдобренный аналоговым синтезатором старого поколения. Или, например очень современное звучание с отличным киком, готовое облить потом молодых девочек, отплясывающих на дансполе в первых рядах! Harley Schoolkid [...]

Oh man, this post is coming LATE. I've honestly been meaning to post on this for the last two months, and I'm just getting around to it... Anyways, you'd figure the homemade recordings of a guy that goes by From Bubblegum To Sky would be twee beyond all belief. But Mario Hernandez's music is it's own blend of one-man pop, with enough crunch to make things different and pop melodies galore. His latest album is titled A Soft Kill , and it's a nice short batch of lo-fi indie pop, with [...]

A Soft Kill is what happens when you chase repeated shots of bourbon with NyQuil and apathy. From this, one of two things can happen: addiction or an ambulance. The moments of likeability are not worth the impending headache. From Bubblegum To Sky [ Official Site , Myspace ], also known as the Mario Ishii Hernandez (of Ciao Bella ) show, recently released A Soft Kill , their third solo album. Unfortunately in this case, third times isn't the charm. Here's why: First, [...]
I've been racking up a lot of new music and I've been doing an otherwise terrible job at sharing it with you all. So here's some great tunes to kick start your Wednesday morning. I checked out The Republic Tigers last night at the Towne Lounge . You never know how you feel once you get out of work and if staying up late is worth it. I didn't stay for the whole set, but what I did see I was impressed with. I do sorta dig The Republic Tigers breed of [...]

I've been negligent in filling you in on how I've been enjoying the Microsoft Zune MP3 player I was given to "test drive" a few weeks ago. It came just in time, as my much beloved iPod mini crapped out on me not a week beforehand. The Zune is small when compared to that archaic iPod mini, and light-as-air. At the gym I usually carry it in my pocket, and half the time I don't even realize it's there. In spite of its size, the screen resolution and display is good enough for [...]
