B.o.B and O.A.R. went for the gold last night on The Tonight Show , performing their new song "Champions" together on the late night show. The tune acts as the theme song for Duracell's "Rely On Cooper To Go For The Gold" campaign for the 2012 London Olympic Games. "I cam here with nothing but I'm gonna leave with a legacy" raps Bobby Ray, wearing a highly appropriate T-shirt printed with a graphic of a champion's worth of gold medals. Check out the initialed artists' collaboration above, and download the song over at Duracell's Facebook [...]

Back in 2009, the Dirty Projectors made scores of Best Of lists, including our own , with the quirky experimental art rock sounds of Bitte Orca , which we'd recommend if you're a fan of the Talking Heads. On July 10, the Brooklyn-based band will release their long awaited follow up with Swing Lo Magellan, via the venerable indie label Domino Records. The 12-track affair, which was recorded at an old house in Delaware County, New York, and is being described as having a bit of a "stripped down" sound that you can hear [...]

California Condors are a blast of west coast flavor. The four-piece tout infectious melodies and memorable lyrical quips containing a bevy of nostalgia, making it hard to stop listening after one song. Their album Calm Carnivore hovers between contemporary indie rock and classic rock influences. The soaring, reverb-filled guitar solos often conjure the feeling of [...]
We've been watching the proliferation of music festivals in Florida over the last few years with great interest and this morning a new player has emerged in the form of the inaugural Orlando Calling festival. Produced by Festival Republic, who organize the Reading and Leeds festivals in the U.K., Orlando Calling features a genre-defying lineup that should appeal to a wide range of music fans. The event will take place at the large Citrus Bowl football stadium in Orlando on November 12 -13. Saturday (November 12) and Sunday's [...]
They promised us a view. Specifically, the Dave Matthews Band Caravan 's own website promised us that from Lakeside, "the panoramic vista of downtown Chicago across the water will provide a stunning backdrop for the festivities." Instead, we got a panoramic view of security fencing and a grubby, toe-stubbing festival ground littered with broken bricks, shards of metal and glass, and a covering of wood chips that were apparently meant to improve conditions but instead lent the entire place a hamster-cage like feeling. It seems that this site of a former steel plant needs some further TLC before it [...]

Today I was listening to my music on shuffle when this song came on and almost instantly a smile came to my face. Not only do I love this song but I REALLY love this band. O.A.R. (Of a Revolution) began in 1996 and is still working today; planning on releasing their 7th studio album this coming September, which I am extremely excited for!!! The song Wonderful Day (off of O.A.R.'s 2005 "Stories of a Stranger" studio album) came on at such a perfect time; the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and it really started to [...]

Du nouveau du côté des deux anglais un peu foufous YLHCSD qui sortent un remix du morceau Oars tiré du prochain EP du groupe anglais Draw Me Stories qui sortira le 18 avril . Un remix où ils ont uniquement utilisé les vocales il semblerait, ce qui nous donne un remix torturé, cuté à souhait qui surprend et qui change de leurs habitudes. Draw Me Stories - Oars (You Love Her Coz She's Dead Remix) [...]

In addition to three headlining sets by DMB, the lineup for the NJ edition of the "Dave Matthews Band Caravan" features The Flaming Lips, Bassnectar, Dr. Dog, Ray LaMontagne, Amos Lee, Thievery Corporation, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Warren [...]
As we gear up for the annual day of gluttony otherwise known as Super Bowl Sunday, we couldn't help but notice the uncanny similarities between a number of players on the rosters of the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers and those of the faces you'll find at any number of summer music festivals. Sure plenty of players let their facial hair grow out, or let their manes go uncut for the playoffs, but a quick glance at the sidelines of both teams will find as many weird beards and long-haired players as you'd expect to see at a [...]
For the past 64 years, Paralyzed Veterans of America (Paralyzed Veterans), has been dedicated to helping and empowering those who have served and sacrificed for our freedoms. Paralyzed Veterans has joined forces with O.A.R. for Mission: ABLE and needs your help to keep this campaign going strong. Did you know that the unemployment rate among veterans with severe disabilities is 85 percent? Clearly these brave men and women deserve a fair shot at the American Dream, a good job with a good company. Yet for our country's paralyzed veterans, access to the necessities needed to live the [...]
