I challenge you to name a band that seems to have more fun than Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr . The Detroit duo has a knack for crafting pop songs that are as genuine as they are catchy. Like any band with their salt, DEJJ absolutely brings it in their live show. In a music world that tends to take itself a bit seriously, it is incredibly refreshing to see a band throw all expectations out the window and do whatever they damn well please. Whether they are rocking glow-in-the-dark suits, dancing in the crowd on just their [...]
Well The Weeknd dropped another baby making ballad last night, and it's called Kiss Land . Much like CandyLand, you'll find yourself licking a lot of things that are questionably edible. The track was produced by Silkky Johnson, and marks the third or fourth new release from The Weeknd in 2013. In 2012, The Weeknd made sure everyone knew he was here to lay down them "get fugged" beats, and 2013 has steadily become no different. Kiss Land , is one of two new releases from The [...]
href=" http://theeargazm.com/?attachm ent_id=150103 rel="attachment wp-att-150103> Check out this newest remix from MS MR , of the MØ single called Pilgrim . The Eargazm was fortunate enough to see this bad bitch in concert, and boy howdy did she have my skin tingling. MØ , Karen Marie Ørsted , is a danish singer songwriter. "Pilgrim" her first official single has charted in the Tracklisten, the Danish Singles Chart, and she is signed to Sony Music. This is official video for the remix of Pilgrim. [...]
In this post apocalyptic music world we live in, where anyone can make music and get noticed, there are bound to be some terrible efforts . But on the flip side of that is MØ . The Danish singer/songwriter. 20 years ago, I doubt there is anyway that we would be fortunate enough to hear her "Electronic Soul, Street-vibe Indie Pop" tunes. Anyone saying that the internet and technology is ruining music just isn't looking in the right places. It's about time the cream rises to the top and the emergence of MØ may just be sign that [...]
Hold on to your britches and try not to soil yourself-this track may cause uncontrollable flow of fluids. A$AP Ferg resurrected his hit single with an all-star cast for the newly released Work Remix featuring A$AP Rocky, French Montana, Trinidad James, and ScHoolboy Q. The song's original version, containing only flows from Ferg himself, shoved Ferg out from behind Rocky's shadow and as he received wide recognition in the game. Now he goes and recruits trap rappers for a remix like this? Ferg you dog, you [...]
What happens when you mix Congolese guitar, some bouncy hip-hop beats, and Bamboo 's smooth Swahili rapping? Why, Im glad you asked! You get a vitamin C-infused jam that will immediately make you wish you weren't at your computer reading a blog, but rather coasting along the beach on a bike or dancing on a humid night in a far away land. Bamboo is a Inglewood, CA native, who after getting in trouble a lot as a kid, was sent to Kenya by his parents where he learned to speak Swahili. He decided to [...]
It's still early in the week and let's be honest, Tuesday feels like a Monday Hangover, a Monday #2 essentially. The only that gets me through the beginning of the week are badass remixes, slash mashups. Wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what we have here. Another note to note, most really good remixes or mashups have Notorious involved.... coincidence? I think not. Welcome to the Everyday Struggle . This remix/mashup is by Dead Battery , and most of his other stuff goes a little harder than this ballad. Normally he dables in [...]

Royal Canoe is like a much less historically significant Jackie Robinson . No, they aren't necessarily making strides in racial equality, or crushing homeruns on the reg, but they do have a characteristic in common and, thus, this intro is going somewhere. Both RC and Jackie break the norm. Jackie accomplished this by breaking down the racial barrier in professional baseball. Royal Canoe break down the barriers between musical genres. Combining elements of pop, electronic, rock, hip-hop, and some sounds better left unclassified [...]
Alpine are a six-piece indie-rock band from Melbourne, Australi and Gasoline is one of their newer releases this spring...This is kind of a creepy video in my opinion. Very well done, but creepy. I suppose it's not that creepy if you like humping and dancing in leotards. That said, the song itself can go ahead and be thrown in the ballots for "Most Summer Sounding Tunes". This here song is called Gasoline , and you immediately feel the vibe they're trying to put off, and Gasoline only keeps this fire of a song going. [...]
What is it that makes people enjoy music? Surely there is a right answer to this question somewhere, right? There must be some central, unifying idea that makes a song - regardless of genre, tone or subject matter - vibrate the eardrums in the right way. Music is, after all, received as just a bunch of vibrations in our ears, which then become signals to our brain. As a current nerd and future doctor, this is my kind of science. But enjoying music isn't such a simple [...]
If you haven't listened to Gary Clark Jr. yet, now is the perfect time to start. The Texas blues juggernaut has released the official video for his powerful cut " Numb" off his debut album Blak and Bl u. The video is a perfect storm of raw blues energy that hits you in the gut like a ton of bricks. The black and white video starts with Gary regretfully waking up next to his girl but they seem to be in a bit of a rut, arguing about [...]
Smith Westerns have released the video for their delightful track " Varsity" from their upcoming album Soft Will , their third full length album to date. That will be coming out on June 25th via Mom + Pop. The video for the shimmery track is a symphony of color spliced with a puppy-love struck couple who are never more than 3 inches or so from each other. It is a beautifully shot video (credit goes to Director Alan Del Rio Ortiz and his team) that captures the seemingly endless summer [...]
Maryland's main man Logic has done nothing but rapidly climb the hip-hop ladder this past year. The Visionary Music Group/Def Jam member has kicked the momentum up a notch with the release of his newest mixtape Frank Sinatra: Welcome To Forever. On the tracklist you will come across this soulful, horn-filled track created by VMG in-house producer 6ix and filled with guest bars from Dizzy Wright titled Young Jedi. The flows thrown out by both of these rappers shows how hungry they are right now within the [...]
New York based, Melbourne, Australia transplants Free Time released a video for the effortlessly casual track I Lost Again earlier today. After their equally leisurely track Nothing But Time , the band is back with another jam to soundtrack those seemingly never ending, lazy summer days . Lead singer Dion Nania 's vocals drawl and really stretch their legs out over bouncy, melodic guitars and snappy drums. For the video (directed by Charles Poekel) the band is cleverly placed in a loft elevator which is the perfect amount of [...]
Wingandhollow puts a unique twist on the typical performing duo. Not only are the two collaborating artists with harmoniously complementary talents - they are also husband and wife . After meeting amidst the L.A. nightlife, the two hit it off. Both discovered the other to be a hopeful musician, each with an analogous taste in music. The connection was formed that night between Haven and Jill Lamoureux . Over 6 years of marriage and 3 years of collective performance, the duo that comprises Wingandhollow has strengthened their bond - translating into their music. [...]
Scottish pop trio CHVRCHES released a remix of MSMR 's all ready fantastic Hurricane today that, like any good remix, transforms the song into a completely new piece of art. The original version of Hurricane is an introspective, heavier song that has a melancholy feel to it. CHVRCHES took up MSMR offer when she sang "Welcome to the inner workings of my mind". Except CHVRCHES pulled back the drapes to let some light in the room, blew out [...]
'Tis the season of long days, longer nights, warm weather, and streaming the best light, upbeat music to keep this summery feeling flowin' and never stoppin'. Dreams of wandering through meadows, basking in sunlight, and wafting the cool summer breeze come to fruition in this amorous epoch. Angel of Light by Beartown Zodiac radiates all of these sentiments beautifully. Buoyant and cheerful, Angel of Light matches the spirit of summer days. Energetic drums set the tempo for an overlay of wanderlust guitar and warm, dreaming vocals. The song recounts a classic summer [...]
