Estrangers emerged from the ashtrays and smokestacks of the old industrial city of Winston-Salem in the summer of 2011, cutting through the haze of an oft-apathetic town with a surprising, honest vibrance and potent energy. Within the first six months of their existence they had recorded and released Black Ballroom , an 8-song debut EP rich with promise, and shared stages with heralded groups like Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Titus Andronicus . Yet, soon after came some months of uncertainty, band members left and the group found themselves drifting. Newer material dabbled with raucous and raw [...]

Earlier today I was cruising through the interwebs when I decided to check up on what Brandon has been posting over on The Burning Ear these days. That's when I came across this little beauty and it didn't take long before I was grooving my life away to " Runaways " on repeat. This track is simply intoxicating as Mirror Kisses blend elements of nu-wave, dreamy soaring vocals, funky guitar riffs and blissful instrumental accent s that ultimately result into a nastalgic retro-future sound. This my friends is Pop Perfection... Mirror Kisses [...]
I first heard Enemies on New Year’s Eve 2011, in the Roisín Dubh in Galway. I was there to see And So I Watch You From Afar, Ireland’s instrumental rock behemoth, a band I had wanted to see and missed on more occasions than I can count in the months previous. But in the end, while And So I Watch You From Afar put on a fantastic show, it was Enemies that really grabbed my attention, and I’ve been keeping tabs on them since. In the last year and a half or so, I’ve seen them performing on [...]
Rosie by Castlecomer Castlecomer are a pop rock band from Sydney, Australia – dubbed as Australia's next big band – and recently finished up a tour following the release of their song Rosie . What, haven't heard it yet? Pause whatever you're listening to and give Rosie a listen now. Your feet will start "dancing by themselves", as a Soundcloud user commented on Castlecomer's Soundcloud, where you can hear the track. Catchy rhythm guitar opens the song, highlighting the beat and maintaining the foot-tapping and leg-jiggling you've probably already started doing, if you haven't [...]
You don't need to pick up a guitar to carry the blues. It's not about selling your soul to the devil. It's not about crying your feelings out in a smoke-filled basement. It's not about try and pick girls up because you can sing Layla - acoustic version. Listening to Robert Johnson or to Howlin' Wolf for hours smoking cigarettes won't do you no good. It's no use having read On The Road to be a rolling stone. It's a backward thought imagining YOU in a coffin for your 27th birthday party. You don't NEED to jump off cliffs into [...]
Chained is the latest single by American singer songwriter Hudson . As you unearth it's folky exterior you realise there's a lot more to Hudson than meets the eye. With the ukulele leading the way we're soon welcomed by the intrinsically layered guitars and rolling percussion forming a beautiful backdrop to the subtly played harmonica. Add to the mix David Hudson's distraught and uninhibited vocals creating a sense of anguish to the otherwise upbeat, plucked melodies and you have quite the single. You can purchase Chained here [...]

While The Knocks released their essential and annual Memorial Day in Ibiza mixtape yesterday that is very graciously available for download, I wanted to share my Memorial Day Weekend playlist for anyone who is as addicted to Spotify as I am. It's filled with warm weather electro-pop to soundtrack all your day-drinking, relaxing and indulgent activities this weekend. Featuring anthems from Smallpools, Tove Lo and Krewella and favorites Daft Punk, Goldroom and The Neighbourhood (obviously),this is my version of musical bliss. Also it's not a summer playlist without Paris Hilton's "Stars [...]
