There's nothing new about us giving away free stuff on the site, but I love that we have never given away two of the same items. We gave away some dope TUNR items , Ultimate Ears headphones , and even partnered with Meaghan Smith for a dope guitar . Isn't that awesome! We've only been live for five months and we've managed to do quite a bit. Consider us a part-time site, with a full-time responsibility of taking care of your music needs. Okay, that doesn't make sense, but whatever. [...]
Another tune from the Arctic Monkeys' forthcoming album, Suck It and See , has hit the waves and it sounds pretty much amazing. There's nothing better than a peak of the upbeat indie-pop displayed in "Reckless Serenade" that got the band famous in the first place. I feel like I won't be getting this track out of my head for a while. Suck It And See comes out on June 7th, so make sure you cop it and jam with us.
"I need a trip.A trip is what I need," and that's what I received. The band could not have said it any better.I'm not going to lie, i'm pretty glad I discovered this band. This week has been way too long for me and I found my escape when I saw the music video of their song 'Trip' Even though 'Trip' is the only song they have out; I can't wait to hear the rest of their music. I've been in contact with the band for a couple of days now and they mentioned music being uploaded within the next couple of [...]
Mother's Day is here and it's time to reflect back on all the wonderful things our moms have done for us. There's almost nothing that my mom hasn't done for me and I'm grateful for that. My family isn't the close-family type; we're more relaxed and go about ourselves most of the time, but we usually get together a few times out of the year. Mother's Day is that day we all just kind of hang around in the same room together and eat all some of the food my brothers and I bought my mom. It's funny because my [...]
Matt Pond PA is back with another soulful, catchy song to make Spring even more pleasant. Matt Pond PA's latest EP, Spring Fools, is easily one of Matt's best song in recent years. "Love To Get Used" premiered a few weeks back but the track is still getting plays on our iTunes. With Austin-based singer Ariel Abshire helping complete duet-iful track (I suck at making up words, don't I?), there's nothing better to vibe to right now. Be sure to check out and download Spring Fools on their Bandcamp . Also, check out [...]
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is a force to be reckoned with. They're dropping some of the dopest gems of the year. Whether you think their music is trashy and demonic or creative and Straight F*cking Dope, they're everywhere now. As Goblin is set to drop on May 10th, Tyler and, fellow OFWGKTA member, Frank Ocean combine to make "She" an awesome tune on a sexual crusade. We can chill and I can act like I don’t wanna fuck You can tell me all your problems like I really give one But [...]
The GTW (Greater Than Wealth) is a 21-year-old Nigerian-American musician from Chicago. His music is in between a Musiq Soulchild and Common-esque sound. This is his second visual off his debut mixtape, Don't Smoke The Cigarette. If you dig this track, check out his Bandcamp to download the mixtape. Otherwise, you're a fool!
Out of all the advantages of having your very own music blog, the biggest is being exposed to all of the dope music that's out there. Artists send me links, bands send me promos, and other blogs send you awesome new music as well. It's also pretty cool when bands and artists talk to me via email about random stuff. I've received some pretty whacky emails but it makes my day. But, for the most part, I don't have time to listen to everyone's tracks or read their bios. Though, I'd like to give back to some of the up-and-coming [...]
There's nothing like bringing back a few childhood memories in the Back Street Boys. Even better, having Nick Carter release his second solo-project - and first in eight years - entitled I'm Taking Off on May 24. More good news? Nick Carter will be touring with the Back Street Boys this summer. Of course, the best news is listening to Nick's latest single, "Falling in Love Again." Carter, who co-wrote every track on his forthcoming album, has put together an album that includes dance tracks to love songs and "Falling in Love Again" meshes the best [...]
There's something to the original track by Young the Giant that has me begging for more, but TDCC puts a little of that Irish goodness the band is known for to answer my call.Young the Giant recently finished their epic US tour and the band has left many fans with eargasms. Check out the remix by Two Door Cinema Club and the original after the jump and let us know which one is better. Young the Giant - My Body (TDCC Remix)

Darwin Deez is simply amazing. His minimalistic approach to indie rock is something that is rarely seen in successful bands and much less in obscure artists like Darwin Deez himself. Somwhat of a fusion between Bombay Bicycle Club and TDCD, Deez mixes indie rock with simple rhythms and repetitive drum tracks. However, the formula works: a guitar, drums and a couple keys equals great music! His self-entitled debut album was released just last year. Darwin Deez - Constellations Darwin Deez - DNA [...]
After 2 years of absence, The Shins will be returning to the stage. I don't know about you guys, but I'm stoked about this. They will be playing at San Francisco's, Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival , which is set to take place on August 12th-14th. The festival will also feature acts from well-known bands such as: Arcade Fire, Muse, MGMT, The Black Keys and many more great bands . I've already got the tickets, hotel room, and the friends to go to this 3-day festival with me; all we need is for August to be here already!
Only a few more hours. F*ck yeah! I'm stoked. Tomorrow shall be the beginning of an amazing weekend for all you folks heading out to Coachella. Seriously, I might pass out; and not from the heat, but from all the glorious music! Alright, so we introduced many great artists and bands during our Countdown to Coachella series, and I'm saddened that we weren't able to bring more artists into the limelight, but I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of them more on the site. I have compiled a set of tracks from several artists and bands whom I will [...]
A Fine Frenzy (Allison Sudol) is a very talented artist and has me under her spell at the moment. I have been repeatedly listening to her album One Cell in the Sea. She writes such beautiful music its a crime for you all not to listen. I actually shed a couple tears when I listened to "Almost Lover." Sensitive much? No, I just had something in my eye.. Almost Lover Think of You Hope for the [...]
Seattle's finest is at it again with their upcoming album, Codes and Keys. Yesterday, the band made headlines with the world's first "live, scripted, one-take music video" featured on Ustream. The music video features lights, multi-angle shots, show dancers, and of course, amazing music. Codes and Keys is due to be released May 31st.
After connecting with Chiddy Bang the other day, Mac Miller is up with the big cats now in Wale. Just last week Wale hit up Twitter to find Miller and today we get this gem from the two. Just imagine what they could do with a full summer of (more) No Days Off. Wale - So What Ft. Mac Miller
Coachella is around the corner! I'm sure you all are looking forward to it as I am. Remember to check out The Radio Department while you're there. Their album 'Clinging to a Scheme' is definitely worth checking out for those fans of electro noise pop. With their synth hooks and indie beats, they have gotten a lot of success in the UK. Last year, they reached number 20 on Billboard 200 for albums of the year. Which makes me wonder, "Why didn't I hear of them sooner?" My favorite song off the Clinging to [...]
You know I'm always up on that Chiddy Bang. Chiddy and Xaphoon Jones collab with Mac Miller for this smooth joint. I'm not sure if this is a tease for Chiddy Bang's Breakfast due out this summer. You can catch Chiddy Bang on tour during the Bamboozle Roadshow starting next month. If you're up in LA, give us a shout on May 19th, we'll be there. Chiddy Bang - Heatwave (Ft. Mac Miller)
It's Monday, and for some reason I'm feeling super jolly. Maybe it's because me and the boys will be seeing Pac Div next weekend or that COACHELLA is only two weeks away! Anyways, all I want to do is dance to the Boys Like Us remix of OK Go's "White Knuckles." If you didn't know, this remix was orchestrated by none other than Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend. The track has been stuck in my head all day, and lately I've been wanting to get Dear Song in my Head back its original roots. We're not the [...]
