Last night, Allie is Wired was invited to the exclusive launch of Rock & Republic for Kohl's ! Held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, it was a red carpet event packed with the city's discerning trendsetters. DJ Ruckus kept everyone hyped and grooving while we waited for the models to stomp the runway. Gorgeous men in black tie passed around flutes of champagne as the celebs started to pour in. Socialite Tinsley Mortimer chatted with the divine Zoe Saldana , while Gossip Girl costars [...]

Here's something to help get you in the mood for next Tuesday. It comes from Kayln Rock's rather lovely album Passenger which is full of low-key, restrained, but ultimately affecting and powerful songs - none more so than the heartbreaking honesty of Valentine . Order the album here . Download Kayln Rock - Valentine mp3 (from Passenger) Follow @madmackerel
Bisogna attendere ancora fino al 5 marzo per poter ascoltare " Wrecking Ball ", il nuovo album di Bruce Springsteen . Intanto sappiamo delle tre date italiane (il 7 giugno a Milano, il 10 a Firenze e l'11 a Trieste) e che il compianto ' Big Man ' sarà sostituito da ben due sassofonisti , uno dei quali sarà Jake Clemons, nipote dello scomparso membro della E Street Band . Tra le novità, arriva anche il primo video: quello realizzato per "We take care of our own", il singolo ufficiale del disco che vi [...]

The Twilight Sad : Another Bed Ούτε στη Σκωτία την ίδια δε θα βρεις τόσο βαρειά προφορά. Αλλά πάλι μήπως τραγουδάνε όλοι όπως ο James Graham ; Οι πουρίστες που διυλίζουν τον κώνωπα θα μετρήσουν πόσο NIN και πόσο Radiohead είναι η εισαγωγή του "Sick", θα πουν ότι το No One Can Ever Know δεν είναι Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters , ότι είναι πιό εμβατηριακό κλπ. Εμένα πάντως (αν και δεν μου άρεσε το Forget the Night Ahead [...]

Since the indefinite hiatus / demise of Wolf Parade , Spencer Krug has been concentrating on new project Moonface . Last year saw the release of Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped and he has now announced a follow up that has been recorded with Finnish band Siinai called With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery. This is the first taste from the album and it is a stormer - all buzzing guitars, massive keyboards and nailgun percussion. And great lyrics! "Teary eyes and bloody lips [...]

Ακούω πως η indie rock κρατάει ακόμα και πως πάντα βρίσκει κάποιον να βάλει ένα νέο χεράκι. Ωραία φωνή ο μικρός (όσο μένει στα μπάσα). Filed under: indie , rock Tagged: music , new hands
Torna a farsi sentire una delle band migliori e più premiate d'Europa. I tedeschi Silbermond , dalle sonorità raffinate, si ripropongono con "Himmel Auf", singolo che anticipa l'album omonimo, in uscita il mese prossimo. Leggerezza e delicatezza da sempre sono i tratti distintivi di questa garbata rock band che è oggi uno dei pezzi da 90 del mercato germanofono. L'ultimo lavoro " Nichts passiert" del 2009 ha sfondato il muro delle 300mila copie, facendo vincere loro tre dischi di platino in Germania, Austria e Svizzera, che si sommano ai sette vinti con i precedenti due [...]

Every Saturday we take a look at some quality funk, soul and disco here at the Labs. Wether it be old or new, we're digging it and feel the need to share. Known as the Queen of Rock & Roll, Tina Turner has a career spanning over 50 years in the business. Her back catalogue is a vast array of solo work, rock anthems, duets and her raw earlier material with husband Ike. She is also partial to an amazing cover or two. While she became a massive success in the 80s and 90s, [...]

By Erin Routson When I was sixteen, a boyfriend who was leaving for college made me a mix tape with Dashboard Confessional's "Age Six Racer" on it. His expression was earnest and correct: "Hey thanks, thanks for that summer" would echo in my head repeatedly when he moved away. That was what we used music for when we had just gotten our driver's licenses and fumbled around each other's bodies awkwardly any time we were alone. Instead of saying things out loud, or forming our own [...]

So, odds are you probably don't like Phish. That's cool, you don't have to. But I bet it would probably surprise you, then, that none other than this gentleman appears to be hip to what those weird white dudes from Vermont are doing: So yeah, there's that...
The VICtory Sessions Vol. 1 is a project dedicated to the front-man/MC of Audible Mainframe, Expo (aka Victor Pontes-Macedo), currently battling cancer. This hip-hop band is one of my favorites and I consider them the 2nd coming of The Roots, which means if you appreciate real hip-hop, you will appreciate what Audible Mainframe is doing. Listen and download [...]
![[Review/Listen] – Dr. Dog – "Be The Void"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4052598_lg.jpg)
Tweet If you know Dr. Dog at all, then you know they've made a career of turning lo-fi musings and blatant stylistic influences into coherent, upbeat, psychedelic-throwback pop songs. "Be The Void" is no exception, except that it's also quite different from other Dr. Dog albums. The band decided to take a different approach to this album: they structured their recording process around their live shows. Instead of endlessly fussing about in the studio, they captured the [...]

BK's Teen Demon are about to deliver you an ass kicking you won't soon forget. "Not Alone" is loud, percussive, and bruising in all the best ways. The track's also focused, that's probably what draws us to it. That energy and rawness, the song's singular tone, all of that is finely focused. It's like the viscera of 10,000 focused and spit out through a straw. It's that focus that makes the track really powerful. Not Alone by Teen Demon Teen Demon ( [...]

Bang on the money this week: gin in hand, more snow outside, Andy Williams is playing… You know that feeling (maybe?) that you just want something to dance to that your Dad used to play on vinyl when you were small… I still have the moves, Pops: Can't Take My Eyes Off You , followed by a bit of Moon River . Anyway, enough of that. You can just hear that needle ripping across the record… focus, focus. This week I'm enjoying Cate Le Bon's Puts Me [...]
In "Moments Like These" BLUEfiveone expresses the size of the sacrifice he'd make for the happiness of a loved one. With lyrics like "...for you to keep your smile I'd skin my knees to the core..." we are easily reminded to cherish the great times. For those are the memories that get us through the [...]

All skittish keys and flickery vocals, David's Lyre 's new offerings suit perfectly my current favourite activity: shivering. As I rub my hands and mutter terrible curses while waiting for trains, buses, bosses and dates, so Paul Dixon's chamber-pop-rock songs embark on hesitant ascents, wide-eyed pronouncements, maudlin string-downers and sudden, spirited riffs. They feel battered and bruised by the cruelties of life, but still bursting with pluck, wonder, and a fistful of magic dust. The tunes are those expected to form the bulk of a debut album, Picture Of Our Youth , which [...]

Il Piotta ha pubblicato in streaming il brano Odio gli indifferenti , tratto dal nuovo album omonimo che arriverà nei negozi il 10 aprile. La canzone vanta la partecipazione di Pierpaolo Capovilla, cantante del Teatro degli Orrori. All'inizio del video c'è un breve segmento dove lo stesso Piotta si lamenta di una recensione da lui ritenuta troppo approssimativa, motivo che l'ha portato a pubblicare in streaming il brano per farlo giudicare direttamente dal pubblico. Voi che ne pensate? Ascolta "Odio gli indifferenti" di Piotta ft. Pierpaolo Capovilla [...]
