So when Gatsbys American Dream decided to take a break, a plethora of side projects spawned from the wreckage. Two of which in particular have impressed me; Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground and Bobby Darling's Places and Numbers . Places and Numbers is a night soundtrack with Postal Service-like programming, heavy beats, and lyrics comparable to Gatsby. His latest Waking the Dead EP is following the same Radiohead/Jonah Matranga -pay-what-you-want model through Bandcamp. Which is a perfect way to hype up his upcoming LP entitled Travels . The title [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Roadrunner Many rock fans can relate to the sentiment of Young the Giant 's new song, 'My Body.' With a pounding drum beat paired with guitar hooks galore, lead singer Sameer Gadhia declares that his body tells him no, but he won't quit.

As I've been compiling this best songs list I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a great track. Last year I went by play counts to determine what songs I "loved" the most but this year I noticed that the list that came out didn't really match my perception of my favorites. A lot of my top played songs this year are indeed great songs, but they also happen to be on a great album so they get played by themselves as well as in the course of the album. So I got to thinking about [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Everest are on a journey of self-discovery. The Los Angeles-based rootsy rockers recently launched the east coast leg of their summer tour opening for Minus the Bear , a jaunt that makes for a stylistically odd coupling. "It's an interesting fit musically," Everest frontman Russell Pollard tells Spinner. "Personally, we get along with those guys amazingly. We have a lot of fun with them. But, honestly, I think their audience is totally confused by [...]

Their new record OMNI maintains this inimitable sound and vision that is guaranteed to gratify any live audience. "One of the things we wanted to do was capture more of the live energy. We feel like the live [...]
