It's no secret that we're fans of Adventure Club here at Earmilk. I mean, our own writer Leonard even crawled into bed with them and had a pillow talk interview - give or take. In the past year we've seen Adventure Club sweep over the web & blogsphere with a fever of dubstep remixes, often topping your favourite hype machine - so we thought it would be wise to put them on an Earmilk mini-tour, in partnership with our good friends at Seafarer Entertainment .

If you don't know Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, they're this supergroup that played punk versions of non-punk songs - usually songs that you wouldn't ever in a million years consider for punk covers, like "Mandy" and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." I knew a dude who was way, way into them, but the [...]
Happy New Year! Almost, if you're in the US. Past, if you're back home in Blighty or beyond the Prime Meridian. Wherever it is, chances are you've heard everything from the sublime to the supremely cheesy, in terms of the music that's ringing in 2012. So, in answer to the latter - as well as the Christmas and [...]
By Keeyahtay Lewis I said it earlier, this has been a great year for concerts. So many good shows. Unfortunately, two of my favorite bands also decided to call it quits this year (Or go on a hiatus, indefinitely). In October, both Thrice and Thursday announced that they would be going on an indefinite hiatus. I saw Thrice back in October, and on December 26th I was there for what could be Thursday's last New Jersey show. Being...

Download album HERE If you're a fan of The Weeknd, you'll probably recognize the album title, as it's a song name from Thursday. Anyways, The Weeknd sampled the song " Cherry-Coloured Funk ", and I thought I should give the original song a listen. Turns out I loved the whole album.

After posting the albums cover art late last night, you could have guessed what was coming today. That's right, The Weeeknd's new mixtape Echoes Of Silence is now available. continue reading >>

The Weeknd , aka Abel Tesfaye, might be the most important artist to emerge in 2011. When I first heard "High for This" and "Morning" off his debut mixtape House of Balloons back in March, I was hooked on the blown out beats, late-night falsetto and over-the-top lyrics. He followed that up with a second installation, Thursday , which, as a whole, didn't quite reach the bar set by House of Balloons, but tracks like "The Birds Part 13 and "The Zone" still became favorites. Two months later, he popped up again as a major influence on [...]

An early Christmas present today from everyones' favourite Canuck, The Weeknd, who returns with another dose of his modern twist of R&B with latest release Echoes Of Silence. Ready-made details that will help me pad out this post seem to be thin on the ground, but I'm guessing if you've been a fan of previous Weeknd releases House Of Balloons and Thursday , you're probably just looking for the download link. So here it is... you can download [...]

DOWNLOAD: The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence Completing the trilogy, The Weeknd finally delivers the final chapter in Echoes of Silence . An adventurous listen from top to bottom, the sound of the mixtape aligns more with House Of Balloons in my opinion, while still maintaining an independent sound. All nine tracks sound incredible with early nods to 'D.D', 'XO / The Host' and 'The Fall'. Full stream and download below. - @SpcPck [...]

Photo by Eric Ashleigh For this month's Key Studio Video Session, we profiled mewithoutYou , the Upper Darby-bred experimental five-piece that bridges the divide between raw, introspective punk rock and lush, Neutral Milk Hotel-esque indie symphonies. This year, they celebrated ten years as a band, and in the spring they plan to release their as-yet untitled fifth album, recorded over the summer with Daniel Smith of Danielson - it's their first since 20092s It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Allright . In our session, the bandmates reflect [...]

As we approach the end of yet another year, we find ourselves looking back -- not just at the good (of which next week we'll be discussing plenty of, with the publication of the Thrash Hits Albums Of The Year lists), but the bad. Over the past twelve months, some of our favourite bands decided [...]
