Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the good times? Are you ready for the birds and bees? The apple trees? And a whole lot of indie rock? Well you're in luck because that's what we have here with the first mix of Summer Fridays 2012.* I am hoping to do these every Friday, though I'm gainfully employed now (we don't get summer Fridays at my job, unfortunately) and have a lot less time - and energy - than I have the last four years. Which is good! Anyway, we'll see how I do. This kickoff mix [...]

Aunque los muchachos de Peter Bjorn and John son más conocidos por cierta "canción del silbidito" que por cualquier otra cosa, lo cierto es que los suecos tienen ya una larga carrera y un nombre no sólo en su natal Suecia sino en buena parte del mundo. Lo mismo podemos decir de Teddybears , una banda que más allá de la nacionalidad no tiene realmente mucho en común con la primera, excepto que ahora uno de sus miembros, Joakim Ahlund , se ha unido con el Björn (Yttling) de los poperos para crear una [...]
What do you get when a couple of Sweden's brightest musical lights step away from their primary projects and come together under a new band banner? In the case of Joakim Ahlund of electro auteurs Teddybears and Björn Yttling of indie-pop heroes Peter Bjorn & John, you get Smile, a duo that incorporates elements of both [...]
Sweden's indie-pop overlords are banding up. Ingrid is a new collective label founded by Lykke Li, Miike Snow, Peter Bjorn & John's Björn Yttling, and the Teddybears' Joakim Ahlund. Yttling and Ahnuld also have a new project together called Smile, and they'll soon release their debut album A Flash In The Night on the label. Below, we've got a taste of it called "From Time To Time." It's a sugary motorik track; call it krautpop. Read More...
Seeing as we're sponsoring Tic Tic Boom!'s month-long residency at Lot 1 Café, we had to be there to make sure their awesomeness was being enjoyed.

Sacramento-native, UK-beloved Sea of Bees takes a few steps away from their signature pop-folk sound, but it's definitely a few steps in a spectacular direction.
Watch The Miracals ' video for their song "Pretend" taken from their latest EP, "Give Me A Chance" . Sunny, poppy California quartet The Miracals were first introduced at the end of October, right after their name change from The Smiles and before the release of their second EP, "Give Me A Chance" , in which they went for a bit more of a mature sound following their incredibly easy to listen to debut, "Hermosa" . Despite currently working on new material [...]
When Lykke Li , Miike Snow & Peter Bjorn and John announced the launch of record label Ingrid, it excited a lot people and non so more than myself. Now we have the first release from the label, Smile's "Clean Gloves, Dirty Hands". continue reading >>
If you like a little soul and blues in your rock and roll (we do) then you're gonna be into The Foreign Tides. With that said, there's no "influence wanking" or distasteful superfluous type shit that often comes with the territory of the self consciously soul/blues influenced. "Smile" has great feel, great guitar tones (love those tinges of reverb) but it's also a really solid tune. The Tides definitely have the melodic chops (in addition to the great musicianship, etc) to be a breakout band in not only this genre but beyond. Get in on the ground floor with this [...]
Long before Vito did his Aeroplane compilation the go-to guys were Mighty Mouse and their fantastic Disco Circus compilation, now, in its third year the London disco dons Mighty Mouse has announced that the third edition is ready for release. To get you super excited about the new compilation, they're giving away the ridiculous psychedelic 'Smiling Faces'. The compilation's tracklist is under lock and key and is being protected by Stuart Little, a mice not to be messed with. But our spies reckon you can expect tracks from Oliver, Gigamesh and The Magician. File under: [...]

Say »Hi« to the first solo release of Zasten with some nice edits by Bool and Ruedi , that we want to introduce to you with a quote from a famous movie: Joe Hallenbeck: I swear to Christ, Junior, if I survive this fuckin' case I'm gonna dance a jig. Jimmy Dix: What? Joe Hallenbeck: I'm gonna dance a jig, I swear to Christ. So Joe (and you all out there), here are the right beats to [...]

As 2011 draws to a close, I wanted to throw my own two cents in about what I considered the best albums of the year. 15. The Smile Sessions- The Beach Boys When Brian Wilson announced that The Smile Sessions would be released, I was ecstatic. I still don't own a box set to this day, but I've been [...]

I was introduced to The Smiles earlier this year through their insanely catchy, breezy "Cala Cola." Now under a different name , the band has a new EP that is free on bandcamp. Check out "Pretend" below and head over to their bandcamp page to find both their eps for free. Think beach rock with some Vampire Weekend preppiness, Beach Boys sensibility and a dash of Good Old War . MP3: The Miracles: Pretend Bonus: MP3: The Miracles: Cala Cola
The four remaining Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine, are hitting the road this year to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary. It all kicks off at the New Orleans Jazz Fest in April. No other dates have been announced yet, we just know there are 50. The band went back into the studio recently to re-do the symbolic "Do It Again," a great mid-tempo rocker that doesn't get the recognition of the other hits in the band's incredible collection. The tune will be part of a new album set to be released next year. [...]
