Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg make up the haunting duo that is First Aid Kit. Their sophomore album, The Lion's Roar is layered with light and airy tunes that are driven by vocals. The fact that they are sisters is evident on the album; their vocals complement each other, and harmonize so well that at times, it's hard to tell which sister is singing. What makes The Lion's Roar a beautiful album though, is it's perfect curation. The songs aren't too repetitive, there is a nice variety, despite a few of the lyrics sounding a [...]

Justin Bieber is working on his next album and it looks like he might be getting some help from rap superstar Drake . Rumors have been around for a while that the fellow Canadians would be working together, but now there's the photo to prove it! Justin teased his millions of beliebers on Wednesday by tweeting : "You really wanna know who im going into the studio with tonight??#bigbro #CANADA" A bit cryptic, but obvious none the less. [...]

I just got a great review in one of Sweden's bigges morning papers, and the rest of the world is not late on following the trend. TOANWTS is appointed the prestigious title of " Album of the Month " on renowned music blog Bluesbunny " Perhaps her most interesting artistic choice however is the sound of the album this time around. Country flavoured sonic touches abound on many of the songs thus giving the album an underlying focus and, [...]
I was on a huge Missy Elliott binge for about 2 weeks in January and I was wondering when/if Missy will be releasing a new album. To my surprise, this past week Timbaland tells MTV News that he and Missy Elliott are both working on solo records and are looking to release new music soon. Missy Elliott hadn't released any new material since her 2005 record, The Cookbook . I am so excited to hear that Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott is back and I can't wait to hear the new record! Missy Elliott [...]
El que fuera miembro de Pulp y Longpigs, Richard Hawley , continúa con su carrera en solitario, en la que le decanta por un estilo que fluctúa entre el pop alternativo y el soft rock. Según podemos leer en su Facebook oficial, publicará su séptimo disco de estudio el próximo 7 de mayo a través de Parlophone Records , sello también de Coldplay, LCD Soundsystem o Gorillaz. La nueva placa se llamará Standing at the Sky's Edge , contendrá nueve canciones y será editado en formato [...]
If you know our friends over at Hardly Art , they've been dabbling in the softer side of indie rock for the last several releases (not that we mind at all #justsaying). But, when you hear this booming track, you'll realize that the label has a new force to be reckoned with in K-Holes . Their new record, Dismania, should be out on the label on May 1st, and there's something sonically sinister lurking. It's got the reckless abandon you can recall from early [...]
As the early days of 2012 rolled on by, Tony Reed, guitarist for both the heavy hitting, stoner-fied trio, Mos Generator, and the classic rock preservationists, Stone Axe, signed an endorsement deal with Lace Music Products. The good Mr. Reed now joins the likes of Scott "Wino" Weinrich (St. Vitus/Shrinebuilder), Matt Pike (Sleep/High On Fire), David Sullivan (Red Fang), Scott Kelly (Neurosis/Shrinebuilder), Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple/Rainbow), Eric Clapton, and a host of others who use the California-based companies pick-ups. When asked what is was that he liked about the Lace pickups, Tony Reed had this to say, "With [...]

A few weeks back we brought you a nice little gem from Soft Swells , and as we near the release of their self-titled record, another great tune comes our way. The record won't officially come out until February 28th, but you'll definitely be anticipating getting your hands on it after listening to this standout song. For me, it recalls a lot of the pop sincerity of bands like the Generationals , offering up hooks with no pretension or guise; that's how you're supposed to compose the hits. If this isn't [...]
Holy crap have I fallen in love with a band/record out of nowhere. Baobab, essentially Phil Torres (with some help from Whitney Trettien ), based out of Durham, North Carolina, just released their debut s/t album, and it couldn't sound less like a debut. Complex, mature, and impeccably arranged, the album is nothing short of hypnotizing. Spring, Baobab welcomes you into their arms. Baobab - "Music for a Movie" [MP3] Baobab - "Spring Forward" [MP3] Baobab - "Apples in April" [MP3] [...]
If I hadn't told you that "Dour Percentage" wasn't from Of Montreal, there's a good chance you would've thought it could've been a B side from Electric Light Orchestra. I'm a massive Jeff Lynne fan and the energy that Of Montreal's channeling on their latest album, "Paralytic Stalks," evokes those extended medleys not heard nowadays. Not to mention some of the compositions used like in "Wintered Debts." They'll be hitting the road in support of the album that will bring them to my old stomping grounds of El Paso and also be playing SX. [...]
HI54LOFI Records has a new compilation out to commemorate Valentines Day next week appropriately called 'I Love You & Stuff" but wait, it's soo much more. This isn't just 15 tracks to impress the one you love/like or even not remotely know, you also get the opportunity to actually send them a Valentine card with your "purchase". Come on, you know you want to spread the love and what better way than with music (...says the music blogger). There are some really great tracks on this compilation and [...]
On Further Review by Julie Stoller It dawns like an early morning sunrise, with chorus, piano and strings drawing a pastoral scene. Punctuated by organ chords and soft percussive flourishes, the introduction is somberly recited by a man who is both observer and observed. I was laughing and in tears at the first song. But that's about right, isn't it? This is Leonard [...]
HashFinger - B2.Feb12 HashFinger - A1.Feb12 HashFinger - A4.Feb12 Yorshire producer Hashfinger continues with his, once a month release, with "February 12" the man keeps his body of work consistently dope.

Needless to say you can listen to them all here . [...]
Young Guns Bones Liver Forever 03 February 2012 by David Keevill Us writing types at Thrash Hits don't always agree on musical tastes, and Young Guns are one of those bands that polarize opinion in the TH camp. Whereas I thought the 2010 debut release, All Our Kings Are Dead, was a giant, catchy [...]

The time is approaching for SXSW 2012 to rear it's crazy head and along comes the responsibility to make a list of acts that you'd like to catch. You could do what my friend Nick does and just show up at parties and hope that he catches something he might like. I consider myself to be spontaneous, however, I like knowing that my trip to Austin wasn't a complete waste of time. Husband and wife duo from Magic Wands , Chris and Dexy Valentine, have crafted "Aloha Moon," set to be released worldwide via Bright Antenna [...]
