It was a year ago this week that Gotye released 'Making Mirrors' in the UK, the album that unleashed upon us one of the catchiest tunes to ever spread its viral wings over the internet: "Somebody that I Used to Know." In the UK it gained momentum through word of mouth and social media shares, [...]

Very few bands can filter into the mainstream with their integrity intact, the exceptions albeit rare are huge (ie Arcade Fire , The Black Keys ), The Avett Brothers look to be one of those exceptions with their new album The Carpenter . I don't care if I'm sharing the same sentiment as ten thousand Justin Bieber fans... " I And Love And You " is an amazing song no matter how [...]

Kings of Leon are FM radio mainstays. For a while there, you couldn't shake "Sex on Fire." Their popularity surged and next thing you knew, the southerners were selling out larger venues. It didn't help that Caleb Followill's dependancy has taken a stronghold over his life and the group. KOL has been on hiatus since late last year. Bassist Justin Followill decided that time is precious and teamed up with Nick Brown from Mona to create Smoke & Jackal. The first single "No Tell" is a tender ballad that shows promise for a future full length. Look [...]

"Here's to the kids out here smoking in the street, they're way too young but I'm way too old to preach." We haven't heard much from the Kings of Leon [...]
For their first album in three years, Alberta Cross had to do a lot of traveling. At times, they literally traveled across the globe, and musically, they traveled across a varied sonic landscape. After the release of 2009’s The Broken Side of Time , vocalist Petter Ericson Stakee and the rest of the band toured extensively, effectively draining themselves to the point where the band had to regroup, several times, on their way to 2012’s Songs of Patience . Returning to their original two-man line up after performing for a period of time with five members, [...]

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, perfect weather for a night at The Stone Pony Summer Stage. The show kicked off with Moon Taxi from Nashville, TN. They have a southern feel to their songs, reminding me a lot of Kings of Leon and the Alabama Shakes. At one point during their set the lead singer Trevor Terndrup yells out “Home of Bruce!” and the crowd goes wild. They closed with “Cabaret” and as the [...]

Nashville based garage-rockers, Turbo Fruits have a wonderfully nasty sound about them. A sound forged out of sweaty garage sessions, and the staunch, repetitive use of power chords. It's down and dirty rock-n-roll reminiscent of early Kings of Leon records. Which makes sense as their upcoming studio album, Butter , is being released through Kings of Leon's Serpents and Snakes Records this September 11th. Take a listen, and download the meandering rocker "Sweet Thang" below. Also, be sure to also take a listen to the just released title track from the [...]
