New York's Gladshot is perfectly named: Their music is clean pop with shiny harmonies and choruses that are instantly familiar, and they've already done shows with a diverse group of artists who appeal the college music set, like Head Automatica , Michelle Shocked , and The Antlers . I'm listening to their latest record, and I'm amazed that these guys haven't been picked up by more blogs—or even by a network TV show for the scene where the two impossibly attractive thirtysomethings do something cute and stupid together like eat from both ends of [...]
Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By Gladshot, " He Was Gone " Starts out quietly...stealthily. You might think it's a modern lounge song: good for smoky background music, but nothing you want to rush out to iTunes for. Keep listening, though, 'cause this song kicks into some major gear around the one minute mark. Her voice suddenly becomes a singer's dream: soaring, clear and strong. She has the kind of magnetism that calibrates the listener's feelings to her own. By the time the song's over, I've joined the [...]

Back in December I told you about the group Gladshot when one of their songs, "Early Light" from their Burn Up & Shine album made it onto my Top 5 Most Played Songs list. I've spun their album quite a bit since getting my hands on it and have been planning to [...]
The UK's Pushboxer is currently working on Pictures, their new album they hope to release by the end of the year. They have released a couple tracks, including the exceptionally well-done Water . The band is also busy playing local shows and may tour later this year. Sounds a bit like U2. mp3: Water • • • • La Snacks got its start in Beaumont, Texas many moons [...]
Seeing as that it's a holiday week, it only makes sense that this week's Friday Mixtape is pretty damn impressive, or at least the perfect soundtrack for painting Easter eggs or chowing down on Matzah balls, So, enjoy this week's mix of the best new singles, covers, and remixes, along with a few mp3s from some up-and-comers you might want to check out, and have a very happy holiday!

Gladshot's songs have been featured on ABC, MTV, the CW network, and live on NPR radio and they've shared the stage with such artists as Head Automatica, Michelle Shocked, Heavenly States, Corey Harris and The Antlers. audio: Fabulous Friends He Was Gone [...]
I often feel band about a lot of the bands that send me music to listen with an aim of getting me to write about it. First of all, more often than not, I'll end up not writing about them simply because I don't really like the music. This in itself I tend to feel bad about too. A band goes to the effort of sending their music to a nobody like myself and I then do nothing with it. The ones I feel worse for though are the ones that have ended up on my [...]
Dead Heart Bloom began in 2005 after the break-up of the D.C. band Phaser. The band's singer, keyboardist and bassist, Boris Skalsky, picked up the pieces to form Dead Heart Bloom, at first writing and recording by himself.Dead Heart Boom began expanding in 2007 when Skalsky collaborated with guitarist Paul Wood, and now the band is a four-piece, with a rotating cast of guests.The sound can be
So, here were are again with yet another Ten Tracks You Need and rather then doing the cliche Valentines Day post that I'm sure every other blog and their mother will do tonight and tomorrow, I'm just going to carry on as if nothing was happening. As per usual I've gathered a handful of tracks which I've been listening to as of late and think you should be listening to as well. They're all over the place as they usually are which just means you should be open minded. This time I've gone a bit further than ten [...]

I'm having a whale of a time with these two-minute-marvels; it's a wonder indeed how much musicality & feeling can be squeezed into such a small amount of time. I've included a Tony Bennett track, who you might not associate with compact little tunes - but here it is; short, sublime & absolutely splendid. ♫ Don't Get Around Much Any More - Tony Bennett Jazz (1987) a compilation of 1954 to 1967 recordings wiki | buy Then, by way of a [...]
De entre los grupos que he descubierto recientemente, uno de los que más me han llamado la atención ha sido Gladshot, a los que conocí en el blog How Marvellous , el cual aprovecho para recomendar, ya que nos ofrece constantemente propuestas muy interesantes. Son de Nueva York, componen la banda Mike Blaxill (voz, guitarra), Debbie Andrews (voz, teclados), Chris Benelli (batería), Tony Tino (bajo) y Marc Copely (guitarra) y se caracterizan por realizar una música pop suave de dulces melodías, con unas maravillosas armonías vocales chico/chica y una instrumentación deliciosa, en la que destacan unos estupendos [...]
Yusuf Azak It is possible to become too minimalistic and too lo-fi. Sometimes it'll sound as if you're trying too a little hard and can become somewhat irritating. Few artists find that perfect balance of charm and grit and Glasgow singer-songwriter Yusuf Azak is one of those artists. Yusaf combines beautiful harmonies and a spiritual-like rasp as well as guitar struming not too far off from the late great Nick Drake . Yusaf's Light Procession EP is a fresh dose of folk yumminess that goes well with [...]
Got time for music today? If not, these should still be here tomorrow. Hopefully they will quash the bahs and squash the 'bugs. We'll gladly take a shot at it anyway. Happy day to ya.

Seeing how few people read this blog (aww), I dunno if it's a compliment or someone covering every last base, when I get sent a promo pack for a band. Very pleased I am though when it's something as enjoyable as Gladshot's Burn Up and Shine album. The Songs are varied (in a good way I mean); the likes of ♫ 1961 ♫ All I want is You , ♫ Straight from the Fridge ♨ Fabulous Friends and the slower feeling ♫ [...]
