The National have been making music since 1999, and for over a decade they’ve been consistently getting better at it. It’s hard to imagine that given the already grandiose nature of their style – a high-class blend of driving rock beats and chamber-pop instrumentation – but they’ve been refining that blend ever since their self-titled debut. In 2005, they completely nailed it with Alligator , and they've built upon it with each subsequent release of theirs: Boxer , the glorious High Violet [...]

Sometimes you discover artists that have been around for ages and you feel stupid for not having found out about them earlier. This happened to me with Michael Jackson. No, I’m kidding. But it happened to me with Lightning Dust today and by what I’ve heard so far it’s too bad I hadn’t found out earlier. On the other hand, I have lots of new music to listen to now. The song that made me discover Lightning Dust, a side-project of rock group Black Mountain, is Diamond , [...]

Depois de um EP calcado em composições mais pop, Marcela nos mostra uma faixa nas quais os sintetizadores sobressairam e se combinaram com sua voz de uma forma que não chega a perder a essência inicial, mas mostra outra gama de influências e uma possibilidade de [...]

Deafheaven' s George Clarke and Kerry McCoy enjoy bodysurfing of the different sort.

The last time we checked the Postelles out, they had just released their long-awaited debut, and now they’re back with sophomore release “…And It Shook Me.” The former Albert Hammond Jr.-produced record inevitably had them falling somewhere in between the Strokes and the Kooks, and the new record simply expands on those strong pop hooks. If there’s one thing the Manhattan quartet embraces, it’s having the last note leave you in a feel-good mood without resorting to the bubblegum aspect of pop rock.  Songs like the twangy “Heavy Eyes” and the mish-mash of a  sing-a-long chorus and [...]

DESCRIPTION Ici le dernier son de Statik Selektah accompagné de ses petits copains Styles P , Bun B et Git-Boy. Funeral Season est un titre assez derangeant, lourd, noir et transportant.

The JoBros will try to get all the contestants at this year's Miss USA pageant to put their pom poms down on June 16, and Nick Jonas is co-hosting the whole broadcast with Giuliana Rancic . This performance comes about a month before the Bros head on a national [...]
