When it comes to one band covering another, I'm not sure you could go anymore to the extreme opposite ends of the musical spectrum than this one right here. On one end you have the seemingly sweet, innocent electro pop rocker Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES , and on the other, Zach de la Rocha and Rage Against The Machine's anger-filled anthem " Killing In The Name Of ". It kind of reminds me of JellyBean!'s " Underwear Is For Wearing, Not For Showing Off! ", which is a cover of Sisqo's " Thong Song " that shouldn't [...]
Earlier this month, Angel Haze and Iggy Azeala performed a show together in London. "No more pitting your favorite female rappers against each other,” Haze said before the pair launched into their own version of Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Otis". They've now shared crystal clear audio from their rehearsal of "Otis" - take a listen below. Here's fan footage of the performance:
Okay, so HBO's True Blood may have lost me when Sookie was revealed to be half-fairy, but goddamn if the show's soundtracks don't continue to impress. Music Supervisor Gary Calamar has a supernatural knack for pulling together killer musicians for one bloody good collection of songs, and the fourth such release packs as much bite as ever (and I'm done). Over 14 tracks, there are unlikely bedfellows ( Iggy Pop and Best Coast's Bethany Costentino ), ungodly covers (Jenny Lewis and The Animals' Eric Burdon's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" ), and rising up-and-comers ( CoSigned duo Deap [...]
In anticipation of their appearance at this weekend's Sasquatch! Music Festival , Arctic Monkeys performed a warm-up show at the Venutra Theater in Ventura, California last night. The band opened their set with a brand new song, a slow churner titled "Do I Wanna Know?", which seems to pick up right where 20112s Suck It and See left off. Needless to say, the band is probably big fans of ...Like Clockwork . The Monkeys [...]

The Preatures are from Sydney, Australia. Led by Isabella Manfredi and Gideon Bensen on vocals, Jack Moffitt (lead guitar), Tom Champion (bass) and Luke Davidson (drums) they formed in early 2010, after meeting at The Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney. This is the lead single from their upcoming second EP, set for release later this year. This is just so cool, it makes you want to get out your Fleetwood Mac vinyl, and skip work.

Victories At Sea anuncia su EP debut, In Memory Of Para un proyecto que ha estado trabajando desde el 2010 y no tiene ningún disco hasta el momento, es un gran logro anunciar su EP debut. El trío indie rock de Birmingham, Victories At Sea , lanzará In Memory Of , el 3 de julio a través de Static Caravan Records . Sin duda, el tiempo ha sido muy amable con estos chicos que basan su sonido en sintetizadores pesados, y un ambiente pop, pero [...]
May I have this Stolen Dance ? "Wait, if the dance is stolen, how can you have it?" the tall man said, with an ever so slight grin. Tap tap tap, goes the symbol, strum strum strum goes the acoustic guitar; this song starts out sounding super full on folk. The young 20 year old from Kassel came to the fore surprisingly when he released his first stand-alone song in June 2012. That's right, almost a year ago, and he's now topping the bloggisphere. His genre is argued to be pop? I'd call it more of [...]
Director Winston Hacking put together an ambient swing of swirling colors and specters in the newest video from Montreal producer Doldrums for "Holographic Sandcastles." The track comes from Doldrums' latest album Lesser Evil , supplying the subtle 8-bit scores with singer Sami Nacomi contributing on vocals. Watch it below and grab Lesser Evil today on Arbutus Records .
As is most things surrounding the legacy of legendary jazz composer Sun Ra , the tribute to the posthumous figure from human music encyclopedia Ras G is tripped out, and positively other-worldly. The scoped-out vision of "Happy Arrival Day Mister Ra" features selected spoken words from the song's subject (and Moog segments), laced with computer-glitchy sound effects from various past space programs. It's a special creation from Ras, who has gone on record as being a very, very big fan of Ra, who would be celebrating his 99th birthday today. Listen to "Happy Arrival Day [...]
With the third installment of WackWednesdays but actually the 4th song released off of the forthcoming album including the WackSunday edition, the guys of The Lonely Island bring us all back to school to teach us a lesson. Well kind of. While the guys seem very committed to proving just how much they love to use the often mis-used punctuation mark in their new song "Semicolon", they may have glazed over one small rule from grammar school that probably has English teachers everywhere cringing. The Wack Album is due out June 11th. [...]
It's the legend, the myth behind much of Donna Summer's huge disco success. Giorgio Moroder did most of his work in Munich and the influence of Düsseldorf’s Kraftwerk can be heard in his work for Donna Summer , which includes two of the ultimate disco anthems, I Feel Love and Love To Love You Baby . This was motorik music: spacious, trippy, ever-lasting, far removed from the relentless bounce of most disco. Giorgio Moroder is also a supreme composer of soundtracks, scoring an unlikely success with The Chase , the theme from Midnight Express , and his footprints are [...]
Escucha la nueva canción de Regal Safari, "Closer" El dúo electrónico británico Regal Safari destapó una nueva pista con su fiel etiqueta de intriga. " Closer " es la continuación de " I See " -tema que publicaron hace un mes- pieza con la cual el dueto de Brighton explora con sintetizadores difusos, ambientes chillwave futuristas, y voces distantes que se sumergen en un constante intercambio de patrones sintéticos. Escúchala a continuación. Radioalterno.Com "Radio Independiente de Rock & Roll"
The Wack Album is out on the 11th June.
MUSIC NEWS - Razor & Tie music has announced this week the addition of post-hardcore giants Chiodos to their roster. The band is currently touring and into the writing process of their forthcoming new studio album which will be released...
Back in February, Brooklyn hip-hop duo, The Underachievers released their excellent debut mixtape, Indigoism . Three and a half months on and it's still getting plenty of plays round my gaff. So, the news that a follow up mixtape titled, CHAPTER 23 , is due next month is great news. May’s Patience is the first track to be released and it's another good 'un - check it out below (and download it [...]
Being a fan of The Underachievers is an exercise in monk-like patience. The months-long wait between the first single and the actual release of the fantastic Indigoism seemed interminable. We have to do a little more waiting until their next release, Chapter 23 , in the fall, but this should help tide us over until then.

So it's not a music video, but you do get treated to Mac Miller and Schoolboy Q do their best impressions of each other before you get to the music. "U.O.E.N.O." gets its millionth remix, but this one is by artists you actually want to hear. It's summertime, California artists over everybody. Video: Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock - "U.O.E.N.O. (Black Hippy Remix)" |
We've already heard ASAP Rocky and Usher jump onto remixes of Rocko's “U.O.E.N.O.”. Now, Kendrick Lamar , ScHoolboy Q , Ab-Soul , and Jay Rock , a.k.a. Black Hippy , have debuted their version of the street anthem in a video promoting their upcoming tour . Listen in below (the track begins at the 1:15 mark).
Huge new artist alert: in Chess Club Records we trust which is why I had to check out their newest Jungle . Dripping in electronic soul and funk-fueled beats, "Platoon" puts you in the perfect groove. The British based band has already picked up by the credible Zane Lowe on Radio 1 so it won't be long before blogs and people alike are saying "Jungle 4 Eva." Check out more on the band's website and pre-order their limited release debut AA-side single 'Platoon' and 'Drops' here (500 copies only). [...]
