The Best Music Videos of 2012

Dec 20, 2012, 11:13pm The Wounded Jukebox
iamamiwhoami; drops
Music videos should do three things: - Make some sense.  To someone, somewhere. - Serve the song in some capacity.  Why else make it then? -  And not make your eyeballs explode.  You need 'em yeah? Some sites place the number of total music videos released in 2012, worldwide, around 206,000.  That's a lot.  With the [...]

STRFKR: “While I’m Alive”

Dec 20, 2012, 12:54am The Wounded Jukebox
When happiness strikes you, don't forget to look around. Take note of what it looks like, what it feels like. How it smells. And embrace it, even if it's fleeting. And you know what? Go ahead and put on a synth-heavy, guitar-laden, funktastic jam on just when it feels like the moment might fade. Who [...]

Challenger: “I Am Switches”

Dec 14, 2012, 12:42am The Wounded Jukebox
This song from NYC indie-pop trio Challenger is so cool, I wanna be friends with it. The upbeat, bouncy electronic melody and keyboard twinkles of Devyn Waitt. The breathy, often spoken vocals and background guitar flourishes of John Ross, and the steady percussive heartbeat provided by John Hart. And then there's all those samples and [...]

Sin Fang: “Young Boys”

Dec 13, 2012, 8:00pm The Wounded Jukebox
The stream of singles and announcements about upcoming 2013 albums has begun in full force. Among those is this lovely track from Icelandic experimental electro-pop project Sin Fang, which comes from the album Flowers, due out February 19. The song clicks and clacks and creaks and cracks, and also makes use of all kinds of [...]

Rhian Sheehan: “Little Sines”

Dec 13, 2012, 3:47pm The Wounded Jukebox
If this is the kind of melody that gets stuck in Rhian Sheehan's mind - as he admits here - he is a lucky man to have such beautiful music soundtracking his everyday life. I would like to hear the tunes that are more fleeting for Sheehan, too; those moments where we must write down [...]

Girls In Suede: “Raptor”

Dec 12, 2012, 7:19pm The Wounded Jukebox
I've gotta think this song from San Francisco trio Girls In Suede would do well placed over footage of a crazy car chase scene, or a quick-cut drug montage a la Breaking Bad. Perhaps it would fit on the soundtrack for a Tarantino flick as well. I guess what I'm saying is that the song's [...]

Heathers: “Lions, Tigers, Bears”

Dec 11, 2012, 11:46pm The Wounded Jukebox
Upon first listen of the latest single "Lions, Tigers and Bears," by Ireland's Heathers, one is immediately drawn to the song's call for a sense of place. And for a band whose single "Remember When" was featured in a "Discover Ireland" ad campaign, that may be what the pair was going for. "Lions, Tigers and [...]

Cfit, or “Controlled flight into terrain,” the leading cause of airplane accidents involving loss of life, is also the name of a 7-piece rock group from Dublin, Ireland. The appropriately named debut album, Triage, was recently called “the best thing I’ve heard from an Irish band in a long time” by these cool dudes. Cfit, [...]

Lucius: “Ghosting (Freelance Whales cover)”

Dec 4, 2012, 12:40am The Wounded Jukebox
New York City's Lucius have had a pretty good year. The band's gotten all kinds of buzz for their self-titled, debut EP and have toured with the likes of Milo Greene and JD McPherson in 2012. The quintet's sound is a mix of modern-day soul and some of the more "Yellow Submarine" type 602s rock, [...]

The Hotelles - Ignore Me
THAT LITTLE KID IS THE DRUMMER.  Which kicks so much ass and speaks incredi-fucking-highly of the band, The Hotelles.  The trio are actually three brothers; Tom, 21, lead guitarist & vox, Ben, 18, bassist, and Sam, 14, drums, who together, spent years in their parents garage near Tunbridge Wells, England writing and recording demos.  Just how nifty [...]

Shout Out Louds - Blue Ice The Ice Record Project
I'm rooting for the Shout Out Louds.  I'd really, really like to see them with a hit album under their sleeve, plowing through adoring masses and sold-out show schedules.  But that hasn't happened yet.  So far, the tunes from the Swedes have been touch and go, dropping the occasional single that kicks up your heels [...]

PAPA: “Put Me To Work”

Nov 28, 2012, 12:06pm The Wounded Jukebox
The incredible 5-song EP that Los Angeles band PAPA released was among my favorite things in 2011. Aside from posting on this band fronted by former Girls drummer Darren Weiss, I must've annoyed the crap out of countless friends who I asked repeatedly to check out A Good Woman Is Hard To Find. And now [...]

Jukebox the Ghost - Don't Let Me Fall Behind
I will probably never be cured of my addiction to piano-based indie pop. It started years ago as an impressionable teenager when I fell in love with Something Corporate - I saw them in concert 6 times (man, I'm so emo, you guys). And next came Jukebox The Ghost, with their remarkable gift for crafting [...]

Lazyeyes: “Nostalgia”

Nov 27, 2012, 12:31am The Wounded Jukebox
The sweet, smoky aroma of campfires is crisp in the morning air here in the Midwest. The burning of sticks and leaves and other kindling becomes a weekend ritual this time of year, necessitated by the ever-approaching, ever-deepening winter air taking hold. The air begins to sting the nostrils, and that smell haunts your warmest [...]

Port Isla: “Sinking Ship”

Port Isla - Sinking Ship
You know that game you played in grade school, when you held your tongue and said "ship"?  And you couldn't get in trouble, because you didn't actually say the "other word" all you were doing was holding your tongue while you named a seafaring vessel?  That game?  Port Isla brought me back to third grade, [...]
