Hope people stayed up on a Saturday to see Vampire Weekend played on Saturday Night Live ? Also the long awaited third album "Modern Vampires of the City" drops on May 14th. Haven't heard all of the tracks. But I have to say the one track that stood out was the last song in the album. It is called Young Lion. The song clocks in at 1:45 minutes. It's not your typical Vampire Weekend song with it's afro rock beats and craziness. This is more of a gentle, mellow and [...]

A few weeks ago, I heard the single by Fire and Neon . Finally got around to listening to their release "Intentions". Can't tell if it's a album or EP? With that they will have their release/show on May 3rd at Ritual. Wow! They sure have come a long way from what I have heard like a year or two before seeing their live shows. They sure have gone through the serious electro-synth pop-rock route. Not really dark but more of a solid and tighter/proper sound in [...]
