Gifted new artist Devin's debut full-length album, Romancing, is scheduled for release on April 10th on Frenchkiss Records. Devin first broke out with his three-song EP for Frenchkiss, You're Mine, which received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone while earning him comparisons to David Johansen and Jack White. Named one of NME's "20 ...
Here's an overdose of some tunes we've been listening to. Let me know what ya'll think in the comment section. DO IT. Our boys No Gold just released a new single... you could call it Junior Boys meets Justice on a downer. No Gold - Good & Bad Priory is a band we've been enjoying for a while now... weather or not they have two one hit wonders is still up for debate. Check out their self titled EP here . Priory - Lady [...]
It's been quite a while since I've delved in the world of album covers in my ongoing album art lover series, but I was inspired by Sharon Van Etten's sleeve for her brilliant new album, Tramp (which is streaming on NPR today by the way) to explore the ever-popular face cover. They say that 93% of communication is non-verbal, which perhaps explains why the face-cover has endured for so long. You can usually get a good idea of the album you're about to hear by the expression and composition of the [...]

![SIVC – Pocket T-Shirts [Fashion]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3889823_lg.jpg)
The good people over at Sucker 4 Clothes , released a very interesting pocket tee. It's definitely not your everyday Hanes, pack of 10, pocket tee. SIVC's tee comes with something we haven't seen a brand try to pull off, a pocket square. The pocket square comes in an assortment of colors, red, brown, black, pink, and black, that make adding that extra accent to the tee classy. We over here at YSA definitely snagged one up and you should too. Check it all out HERE.

Monument Music Festival always find a way to book compelling and memorable shows for interesting causes that deserve the social amplification. Last Thursday, Monument Fest, Brooklyn's Suckers and DFA's REWARDS united to raise money on behalf of Common Good City Farm . Common Good are fighting obesity by making fresh produce available to residents who typically don't have access to it. They champion a healthy lifestyle in the same way Monument Music champions a great show, uniting the community with musical food for thought. [...]
Monument Music Festival is quickly becoming synonymous with awesome shows to benefit awesome causes, and tonight's DC9 show featuring Frenchkiss/IAMSOUND/Spunk's Suckers and DFA's Rewards to benefit Common Good City Farm is certainly no exception. If you've already purchased tickets for tonight's show, you've scored the biggest pre-halloween treat imaginable, but if you're still on the fence for tonight, not only does your ticket benefit Common Good City Farm, whose mission is to to grow food, educate, and help low-income DC community members meet their food needs, but you'll [...]
I'm a huge Suckers fan. So much so that I've been trying to bring them down to DC for a show for well over 6 months. Unfortunately for me, there has always been a scheduling conflict. Fortunately for all of us, Monument Presents was able to snag the Brooklyn 4-piece for a show this Thursday night at DC9 ! Suckers released one of my favorite albums of 2010, Wild Smile , and have presumably been in the studio for much of 2011 working on a follow-up (while not touring with [...]
If great careers are defined by consistent production over a lengthy period of time (as it is in most professional sports), then husband and wife group Mates of States would be a forerunner for what defines a great career. Since forming in 1997, Mates of State have been keeping up an incredible work rate, having released seven quality (if not kind of similar) albums in that time. Mountaintops , the band's seventh album, was recently released off Barsuk Records and features more of what we've come to know from Mates of States - short and sweet pop [...]
Even before we were rocking tall boys out of a backpack at RH's SXSW Showcase I was a huge fan of TiRon & Ayomari. For those who have been the same we all have been yelling out saying we have wanted a collaborative effort from the two and we were all finally rewarded with that with A Sucker For Pumps . The two have came together for what to this day is possibly my favorite song ever with the OG version of "Everything Is Going Fine." For those who somehow haven't heard of these two, TiRon & Ayomari are two Cali [...]
