One of our favorite up and coming bands Humming Urban Stereo keep releasing new songs that make us dance with glee. Hailing from South Korea, this band's music is nothing like K-pop. it's actually a great marriage of the pop genre and some older spins of Miguel Migs'.

Man, oh, man, this is one of the first times I can feel a stinging pang in my gut from not living in Portland, Ore. any longer. The XOXO festival will be held September 13-16. It's being funded by Kickstarter , which could prove interesting for pre-selling festival tickets of any kind. XOXO is a celebration of disruptive creativity. We want to take all the independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love — the makers, craftspeople, musicians, filmmakers, comic book artists, game designers, hardware hackers — and bring [...]

Casper, die Rettung. Hip Hop, Rap und das ganze mit deutschen Texten!? Das geht bei mir in Zeiten von Bushido, Fler und Konsorten noch weniger als vorher. Doch dann kam einer, der es allen zeigt. Persönlich kenne ich Casper erst seit dem Red Bull Tourbus Festival anläßlich der Fete de la Musique im Mauerpark. Wer [...] No related posts. [[ This is a content summary only.

I've been curious for a while about when kraut-rock disciples Led Er Est would unleash another throbbing blast of darkness on my world, and I'm happy to say - right now. "Lonesome XOXO" feels like the soundtrack to a Dario Argento film set in space. It's one part snaky bass-line, one part fear-based propulson, with [...]

Butterfly Bones emit the kind of joyful "California sound" in an electro kind of way. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, the three man band could easily pass for a Brooklyn indie band, however, they are naturally laid back yet focused. Comparisons abound to Cut Copy and Passion Pit may be valid, but Butterfly Bones have their own unique twist to get the dance party started. Check out a special performance of their track "xoxo" at the B-Sides studios on MYX!

Another double-post today: Two bands who seem ready to open up shows for bigger-named bands. First, Ireland's export, The Plea make poprock. You'll be forgiven if you think if U2 and Bell X-1-it's good company to keep, after all. The music is proficient and the vocals are pitch-perfect, on every song. There's nothing genre-stretching here, but it's definitely a fun listen. Opening track, "Hello," is an anthem that's radio and soundtrack ready. Hello-The Plea X.O.X.O. also make "safe pop," but where The Plea recall [...]

Moments after New Brunswick, N.J.-based quartet, Let Me Run , finished what they described as the "biggest set" of their young, promising careers – opening for The Gaslight Anthem and The Bouncing Souls at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, N.J. – Travis Omilian (vocals, guitar), Trevor Reddell (drums), Louis Barbiere (bass) and Corey Perez (guitar) sat with Punknews.org interviewer Zack Zeigler to discuss their performance, their new record, Meet Me at the Bottom , the way New Brunswick shaped their music, and just how drunk Louis got the night before the most important performance [...]

J Todd is another producer from the Frite Nite camp (home to B. Bravo ). He has a wicked way of making synths sound downright sexy, and when he meshes them with his funky, glitchy, satisfying beats, he creates a sound that hits all the right spots. "Luxxxurious", taken from his XOXO album, is a prime example of J Todd doing what he does best. Enjoy the track and then cop the album at MobileUndergroud . Listen to Luxxxurious: Download J Todd - Luxxxurious [...]
