Trivial Shields release their second single Enough , in anticipation of their forthcoming EP Invisible Winter . The song was recorded to tape at esteemed SF studio Tiny Telephone by Bay Area luminary Robert Shelton (DRMS); eerie tape effects, haunting vibraphone and rich harmonies combine in an attempt to express a state of persistent alienation.

"Get inside, and light it, see cash/ Cross your legs, break your neck." So trills When Saints Go Machine's Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild during Love And Respect – the Killer Mike-featuring opener to their third full-length record, Infinity Pool . We're diving in at the deep end; joining the great Danish eccentrics on another voyage across the bedazzling spectrum of pop surreality. But as the album ignites, has it taken a turn for the darker, and indeed more oppressive as the lead single appears to suggest? With lyrics of snapped rachides [...]

One of the first concerts I ever went to was at Mellon Arena out in Pittsburgh which featured Disturbed and Godsmack with Stone Temple Pilots headlining. And while each band held their own in their unique ways, Stone Temple Pilots were the seasoned veterans at the time and pretty much stole the show when an intoxicated Scott Weiland took the stage for an encore wearing nothing but an American flag loosely draped over himself. When he was done with the last song, Scott exited the stage sans flag, and it was at the moment [...]
Wenn eine Band klingt, wie eine Reinkarnation von Jesus And The Mary Chain, dann hat sie automatisch meine Aufmerksamkeit. Wenn in dem Fall allerdings durchaus der Zufall seine Hand im Spiel hatte, denn an dem Wust an Belanglosigkeiten in der Facebook Timeline die Perlen zu filtern, ist meist eher unmöglich. Doch glücklicherweise blieb diesmal ein Link nach Bandcamp auch bei mir hängen und schon nach den ersten Tönen war mir klar, dieses Album landet im Archiv. Nach etlichen Durchläufen bin ich zwar nicht schlauer, was die Band selbst anbetrifft, da es so gut wie gar keine Infos im [...]

Certain music just feels right on a Sunday morning. We first noticed Julia Losfelt when she covered "Mojo So Dope" by Kid Cudi, giving the song an surprising new feel by singing the track with mild and hushed voice. Losfelt is from Paris and she just released an original track called "Away" where her measured voice is composed over an airy instrumental and gripping guitar chords.

You may already know the song "Crosses", by José Gonsález... Here is a remix of this song by Dinner Date , aka Simon Hoppe, a Munich-based producer. The vocals are so nice that there is a great potential to make a good remix. The take of Simon makes the song last longer, with a nice soft house touch, as we often hear from German producers. The song is available as a free download here . Perfect for a Sunday afternoon! This is the first remix from him, we hope he will release new stuff very soon! [...]

Australian Progresssive Rock band Monks of Mellonwah have released their third EP called Sky And The Dark Night , and this is Part 2 - Control , the single from it. The EP is being released on Vinyl and Digital only. Their debut full-length album is currently in production. Nice to have a bit of Prog on the Network occasionally.

Moving and socially significant Australian country music Though country music is most typically associated with the Southern United States, it's impact has been felt all around the world. In addition to Nashville and Texas exports, a strong but little-known strain developed among Australian aboriginals in the second half of the twentieth century. American songs were repurposed to tell stories of harsh conditions in the outback, and lyrics of country-to-city migration, drinking and prison all found resonance in the freewheeling down-under. But Australians also stretched the genre with localized stories, locations and slang, and dark [...]

First and foremost, I have to shout out my dude Le'Shawn Taylor for hipping me to this beyond-dusty new beat tape from Tampa, Fla.-based producer Phromsopha. Secondly, I kinda/sorta want to apologize for the lack of posts on instrumental releases lately. I've been busy with other projects, features, etc... and this has caused me to snooze on joints like Crucially Going Def . If you like to catch a contact high from your beats or are fond of sample flips originating from grimy crates, then you should download this now. Should neither of those apply, you will still probably [...]

I'm the first to admit that when I'm looking for new music the first place I turn to besides soundcloud, is thissongslaps.com. Last night, was no exception. At first, when I saw this exclusive from Notixx I was stoked. He played at the Blasted Events Warehouse show last week and absolutely killed it. So, of course, I jumped on the play, clicked the download and soon followed with a heart. "Fallout Flow," is definitely a track that gets your heart rate up and your blood flowing. From the snaps to the snares, to the builds, my heart felt like [...]
