Aumentamos el nivel de decibelios y nos fijamos en la música que nos acerca la banda de Kansas, Rooftop Vigilantes, cuarteto formado por Zach Campbell, Oscar Allen Guinn IV, Hannah Hyde y Seth M. Wiese. Su sonido lo podríamos situar a medio camino entre el garage-rock y el power pop, es decir, melodías pegadizas con mucho ritmo y guitarras contundentes. Todavía no tenemos fecha exacta de publicación del que será su álbum de debut, el cual llevará por nombre Real Pony Glue y en el que sé incluirán las dos canciones que nos sirven de adelanto [...]
There are no more G.O.O.D. Fridays and it's fucking cold outside. So while every Friday Mixtape is worthwhile, these days there couldn't be a better time to offer you a mix of the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, which come courtesy of Cover Me . This week's mix features the likes of The Get Up Kids, El-P, Jarvis Cocker, Nicole Atkins, The Streets, Diplo, and Shit Robot, among others. So please enjoy all the sounds below, and then be sure to check back next week as we official unveil our picks for the best music of 2010. [...]

It's time to face facts. You have some tough choices to make during the day on Friday. First of all, there's some great NYRM-approved bands playing at Cake Shop. Rooftop Vigilantes, Your Youth, and Yellow Ostrich. If that were a show during normal times, it would in and of itself be a can't-miss. I'm pretty sure this also has free Sierra Nevada. Then there's the monster BrooklynVegan show at Public Assembly, which also has free drinks and food, I believe. John Vanderslice, Times New Viking, Dom, Ty Segal, Oberhofer, Lower Dens, and The Luyas. That's oh-my-gosh-are-you-kidding-me- good. The Impose day show [...]

In a little more than a week's time we will be CMJ-ing our asses off once again! Hopping from club to club, catching the buzziest buzz bands of them all, and sipping on as much free booze as our livers can take! Of course the week wouldn't be complete without our own day time party!... Read More
We've touched on Lawrence, Kansas' Rooftop Vigilantes here on the site prior, with their track "Seth No Jump." Much like what Andy wrote at the time - their minor in length, intense in execution jaunts of garage rock - "Kitty Vacant" is a powerhouse two and a quarter minutes. Opening the track is a flush [...]
Don't fret too much about Kanye canceling this week's G.O.O.D Friday, guys! A bunch of songs is better than one, right? Hopefully then the latest edition of our Friday Mixtape will be more than enough to tie you over for the weekend. As usual, we've put together a mix of the best new singles, remixes, and covers (courtesy of Cover Me ), along with songs from up and comers you just might want to check out. Plus, all our legal and free to download, so you won't be pissing off Kanye or any of the other artists [...]

mp3: Bad Books - "You Wouldn't Have To Ask" Bad Books is part Manchester Orchestra part Kevin Devine and at least this song is more rocked out than their individual releases. It's chunky, it's solid, there's the hook that grabs. This is "feel-good," like that time you got your highest bowling score ever. Very much anticipating this record in a couple of weeks. Out on digital 10/19 and out in hard copy in November. Pre-order it at the Bad Books site . mp3: Rooftop [...]

Rooftop Vigilantes are playing this year's Scion Garage Fest, taking place in their hometown of Lawrence, KS on October 2. The Oblivians, The Gories, The Raveonettes, The Greenhornes, The Ponys and King Khan & The Shrines, Cloud Nothings, Best Coast and Thee Oh Sees are amongst the excellent headliners of the free festival, being held at a handful of Lawrence venues. The entire festival is free with RSVP - click here for more info. Rooftop Vigilantes play a disarmingly infectious brand of ramshackle garage rock infused with humour [...]
We are back with new tracks from our inbox. Enjoy! Rooftop Vigilantes - Seth No Jump Patrick Lee - QuittinTime.mp3 The National Rifle - She's a Waste Lazertag - Strange Glow

As we wait for The Wrens to put out their once-per-decade post-punk masterpiece, a number bands have come forward to attempt to fill the considerable void. The latest is Rooftop Vigilantes, a Lawrence, Kansas quartet that's more Kick-Ass than Dark Knight , all whiskey throats and wild riffs. "Seth No Jump" is short, sour and full of promise - including the likelihood of arriving on a full-length before a certain avian act's next release. Real Pony Glue is due presumably as soon as the unsigned band finds a label - I suggest you, dear record [...]
ROOFTOP VIGILANTES ON TUESDAY JUN. 15 AT ECHO CURIO, 1519 SUNSET BLVD, LOS ANGELES. 9PM / $5 / ALL AGES. HTTP://WWW.ECHOCURIO.COM.
Chances are that if you're reading this, you're probably not at Bonnaroo and thus probably are a bit jealous/bored/sad/etc. So now would probably be a good time to drop this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape. As always, included is a mix of the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. Hey, it might not be the same as a weekend in Manchester, but here's hoping this keeps you entertained for at least a couple hours. NEW Singles: "Get [...]
Rooftop Vigilantes hail from Lawrence, KS - home to the University of Kansas, and former home of such notable individuals as William Burroughs, Langston Hughes and Dr. James Naismith. Eschewing basketball and beat poetry, the band instead writes the kind of catchy garage pop that is over so quickly that you have to start it [...]
