Standard fare pop with a slight edge for this here Tuesday, courtesy of San Fransisco five-piece The Soonest . The crew just finished recording their newest EP, Lions At Your Door , with the hope of a June release date. Catch a sneak peek below. Lead singer Young Lee (real name!) sounds a lot like Guster, which isn't a bad thing! The EP is a nice combo of atmospheric, sleekly produced tunes. My favorite is the second half of "Should've Known," with its buoyant, delicate harmonies. A close second is the cinematic ending to "Simple Question." Keep a [...]
Our list has nothing and everything to do with Earth Day, so as humans of Earth, check out what other humans have been up to. Starting with KIDCITY , the duo from outside Toronto composed their track "Blood Face" in an electronic driven dizzy that's quite catchy. They've got an EP out May 31. Next, from Bath, UK are Flags . This newly-formed group will be releasing their single "Running" on Monday, April 25. Also from England and on Monday, The Wombats have This Modern Glitch coming out. The remixed [...]
Not quite Rilo Kiley , but I get the picture. Lions At Your Door from Sydney, Australia came knocking on my door a coupla days back with a rather pretty track. Bounce-y indie pop, mellow pianos, throw in a crying violin and a rousing crescendo. Needs to be mixed a bit more, this track just missed that anthemic height. It is lovely otherwise. They've got a national tour coming up, so all you folks down under, if you've got the chance, check out their tour dates on their myspace. [ Lions At Your [...]

Mailer Daemon first came to my attention when I featured Australian band Lions At Your Door and posted his awesome remix of their track 'L.A.Y.D.' . I have played it at Hands Up Who Cares regularly and it never fails to get bodies moving on the dancefloor. The Malaysian raised Sydney based DJ and producer is gearing [...]

Over five years, They Bind ... sees the end of the journey initiating from scoring the soundtrack to the film, Somersault . Exploring a new sound, expect to hear more from Decoder Ring in the following weeks but [...]
В этой коллекции сплошь танцевальные синты и прерывистые вокальные партии, просятся на танцпол, аж стыдно. Ничего, в следующем посте приготовил для вас кое-что легкое и красивое.

The week in Bangers : While electronic rumors isn't strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can't (and wouldn't) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn't have time to dedicate individual posts to… Some storming tracks for you this week. Starting with a fantastic Grum reMix of Friendly [...]
Lions At Your Door are a band I have been meaning to write about for a while now. The Sydney gang's 'self titled' EP was frequently spun at Cougar HQ, coming across like the bastard child of Blondie and early Pretty Girls Make Graves. Forgoing the typical band lineup by adding a full time violinst [...] Related posts: A World Next Door To Yours The Parlotones are a huge deal in their native...
Whats up everyone, I have a couple of things in the mailbox which need to be posted. First of all, Gash Digital is hosting a FREE party on Thursday 12th of March at the Queen of Hoxton in London Town, with Russ Chimes headlining the event. For those living in that part of the world, you can visit the Facebook group to find out more information. Gash Digital has an exciting lineup of upcoming releases this year including the likes of Robot Disaster and Heads We Dance (which [...]
The indie scene Down Under tends to miss many of our posts, so when Lions At Your Door approached us with their debut self-titled EP , we decided to let their punk-pop grunge do the talking. What the six-member group brought to the table mimics no artists as it contains that ever-fluctuating punk intensity. With Marihuzk Larenas-Esquivel's filthy-rich vocals, Victoria Zamora's kean violin stringing and numerous guitar (Dirk Jonker), drum (Kirsten Riley) and bass (Nick Millner) patchings along the way, Lions At Your Door abides to fans of European jazz-pop to fans of Seattle's [...]
It's time once again to pour out the contents of our inbox onto the floor of The Mix Tape and admire the exploits of new artists and fresh productions... Okay first we have something by "occasionally famous" actor Adam Goldberg. You may know Adam from 'Dazed and Confused' or his recurring role as Chandler's annoying mate on friends, or even from the wonderful movie '2 Days In Paris'. Well now he's turned his hand to music with project [...]
Eine Handvoll Wörter, eine aggressive Orgel und ein Beat, der gar nicht nachlassen möchte: Shake it ist einer der heissesten Anwärter auf die vorderen Plätze meiner best-of-2008's-dancefloor . Klingt: Prägnant und minimalistisch wie frühe Liars mit noch mehr Lust dazu Hin- und her zu springen. [mp3]: Lions at your door / Shake it [myspace]: Layd
Lions At Your Door - 'Shake It' ( mp3 ) Sydney's Lions At Your Door have constructed possibly the catchiest verse of the year with just a handful of words, some aggressive organ and a driving, hypnotic hi-hat. 'Shake It' echoes the naivety and simplicity of early pop but is updated for the modern indie dancefloor with a rhythm section to rival early Liars recordings and some subtle guitar work that adds a hint of darkness to this gem of a song. The pro-dance sentiment of the lyrics is only heightened through [...]
Rain rain go away, come again another day. Before I delve into my usual ramblings, Who ever wants the rain to come again another day? Any farmers who read this blog need not prove me wrong... but I mean unless that saying was coined by a farmer, it doesn't make sense, the rain is always the pits and ruins my mood. [...]
Seeing as some asshole stole my Aoki Pro Signature headphones after my set this weekend, I decided to pick up a pair of the WESC Bag Pipe Pro headphones. So, to whoever stole those, um... If I ever catch you trying to steal from me or my people again I will break your arm on [...]
There are very few tracks that will bring peeps to their knee. On Saturday night the theme of the party was 'On your knee', this questioning the use of sex in advertizing. Now what track can provide this theme with the element of sin it deserves? I had to reach into the old sack-0 trick via my Langley days............ Fucking emo kidz huh, wear all that black, thinking they've had it worse then the next. In the the end we shall get what we reserved....in time .................. [...]
Lions At Your Door - 'LAYD ( Mailer Daemon Mix)' ( mp3 ) Visceral and thumping, 'LAYD' was a vociferous opening statement that was more startling than an unexpected punch to the back of the head. Lions At Your Door , you funky, foot-loose bastards. 'LAYD' went straight onto infinite repeat on my iPod and in my head. I love the 3 minute mark in the song when catastrophy ensues. Remixes of indie bands are ubiquitous these days so they can be fairly banal but Mailer Daemon has done a great job in [...]
Lions At Your Door - 'LAYD' ( mp3 ) In a split worthy of an At The Drive-In comparison, Sydney's high energy indie punksters Pinky Tuscadero split in 2006. And just like The Mars Volta and Sparta forming out of the ashes of ATD-I, so did two bands from the demise of Pinky Tuscadero - one of them being Lions At Your Door . The other, CHAINGANG, will be featured tomorrow, so check back yo. Lions At Your Door feature Dave, Kirsten and Dirk from Pinky Tuscadero playing keys, drums and guitar [...]
