Big Deal is certainly one of the bands that excites me about 2012. They just dropped their debut record, Lights Out , and there is nothing but good buzz coming from the duo right now. Today, they have dropped their emotional video for "Talk", which is somehow so powerful, without any percussion used. The duo vocals bounce off each other, in a symmetric pattern, and fills the listeners with angst and frustration. (Mean that in the best way) The band will be playing SXSW, as well as their first NY and LA gigs. March 11th [...]

Sometimes you get some information on a band, and you're tempted to look the other way, panning them as just another run of the mill bluesy duo. But, along the way to my dismissal, I just couldn't escape this track getting stuck in my head. Little Hurricane might have a hell of a lot of swagger in the live setting, but I'm really enjoying the sound on the first single from their album Homewrecker ; the album hits on May 1st via Unknown Behavior . There's something about [...]

Alpines offer up another helping from their collaborations series after first teaming up with Maya Jane Cole for the cut 'Why.' The duo have now surfaced 'Tremors,' the track features Dark Star and will be the second release (third to see daylight soon) from that effort. Another gloomy piece of atmospheric pop we'd enjoy any day. Stream the listen below. Peace, love and Catherine Pockson! Apines + Dark Sky - Tremors

Despite the name, Rendezvous are an Israeli duo, Itai Simon and Hagai Izenberg, who will release debut album Another Round Please at the end of the month on Rough Trade. The songs could easily be confused with a bygone era of dance music, eschewing the David Guetta/Skrillex techniques that have [Read more]

For today's feature I have to give credit to the amazing iPad app BandADay, readers with an iPad should really give it a try! Last week I stumbled upon the folkpop duo Destry. Destry consists of Michelle DaRosa and Tyler Odom, who have known each other for the better part of ten years but it's only been in the last two years that they have gone from friends to band mates. Both of them experienced success in previous musical acts, Straylight Run and Northstar/Cassino respectively, but their time together in Destry has brought them in a different direction. Old fans [...]

Artist : Boy Friend Title : Egyptian Wrinkle Label : Hell, Yes! Release Date : February 6th BUY IT Written by George Cloke When watching everyone's favourite underachiever Andy "no slams" Murray crash out of the Australian Open last week, I thought about how disappointing it is when you're unable to maximise your potential. He's undoubtably [...]

City Boy is short and sweet - you'll want it to carry on and on despite it's short playing time, but that's fine - it just means you're bound to listen to it again and again. It takes you away to a peaceful place with it's relaxing, chilled aura, with it being a simple enough track with a layered, well thought-out and rich sound. Read more..

Electro-grunge duo, Ugly Kids Club , out of Nashville, TN hit the nail on the head with their infectious pop song "My Soul", full of dark undertones and a lyrical concept perfectly suited for any passionate music lover. The clean and crisp quality of the recording, likely influenced by Steve's background in music production, blended with the raw energy of Aliegh's vocals leaves us wanting so much more. They sexualize the idea of 'music' so well. Once you've had a taste, we're sure you'll be craving another. "Music is my lover, she's a saint, she's physical, she's [...]

I've been listening to 'Alpha People' constantly since it premiered on Pitchfork last week. There's not many Irish bands who enjoy the benefit of a Pitchfork write-up for a new song. Perhaps the most acclaimed artist from Irish shores at the moment is Jape, yet search for him on P4k [Read more]

I was listening to BBC Radio 1 and couldn't help notice this song. You might call this a cover-mashup. Paper Crows is a duo from London, UK. They are made up of Emma Panas and Duncan McDougall. Their music is very electronica/trip-hop. I was kind of intrigued in how they this cover-mashup by the two most influential female musicians of all time. Covering Kate Bush 's Cloudbusting and using the sample of Bjork's Human Behavior. [...]

Video: BOY - "Skin (acoustic version)" BOY is the duo of Valeska Steiner & Sonja Glass, two young women making a ton of noise and hailing from Zurich/Munich, and they're prepping a debut album of indie pop numbers quite like the track "Skin" above, only not acoustic. To get a feel for the girls outside of the acoustic nature of the video, check their other stuff out on the Web for sure and keep watch for the lovely pair on tour in Germany (and hopefully the world soon). Godspeed!
