As you maybe know, we Swedes celebrate Midsummer this weekend. It's one of our classic festivals that is the second most celebrated holiday except Christmas. The biggest celebration party was yesterday, that means that most Swedes today are pretty tired and pretty hungover. Sweden as a country is not that fast today, so if any other country would like to invade us, I think this day could be the one to choose. The tradition is clear and simple, it occurs round the summer solstice and we drink "Brännvin" (a kind of akvavit or flavoured [...]

It’s hard to believe that, on one fateful Sunday night, playing FIFA 12 on my PS3, I would be introduced to one of the most underrated bands that fall under the psychedelic indie genre: PORTUGAL. THE MAN. Despite the worldwide and mainstream popularity of the FIFA video games, developer, EA, do an emphatic job of carefully selecting artists who are often little known to gamers, to feature on their annual soundtrack. Over the years, this has opened the door to fame for many artists including Kasabian , Editors , [...]

Never believe the hype unless you’re a sucker. Hype only exists for bands that are merely trendy and not necessarily talented. They are a band of the moment and nothing else. Luckily for us, one highly publicized band doesn’t fall into that category. They are the hottest band to emerge from New Zealand since Flight of the Conchords (Okay, they are a comedy duo, but music is a huge part of their act so cut me some slack, gosh). After releasing two EPs, This Machine and No Light, The Naked and Famous released their debut album Passive Me, Aggressive [...]
Cover songs are a very delicate genre. Sometimes they're a gateway to earning notoriety. (James Blake's take on Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" only bolstered his fame.) Other times, covers are a misfire that insult the original's splendor. (Dee Snider and Eddie Ojeda's attempt at The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" is cringe-worthy.) So, when an artist releases a collection of covers, one has the right to be wary. Luckily, Vermont band Chamberlin' s step-up to the covers plate is decent, but it falls short of instant covers canonical material. The [...]
A couple new artists to BtB and a few that have been featured on the site multiple times and will get featured many more times with where it seems there music is heading. First we got a newbie on the site, Jay Fresh, who collaborated with the Pretty Lights record label, specifically producer/DJ SuperVision, to [...]

Chamberlin is back in town again headlining an East Coast swing and raising money for Vermont flooding victims. Last time we checked in with them, they had just released Bitter Blood , were about to start a summer sprint, and were on the brink of losing their first, beloved trailer. This time they are coming through on their aptly named "Double American Tour" and have recently finished "cabinizing" (yeah, that's a verb) some familiar tunes from some ATG all-time favorites, including Passion Pit and Foster the People. Chamberlin are a formidable presence on stage, [...]
