This should tide us over until their new LP, A Hundred Things That Keep Me Up At Night is released later this year. The [...]

The new album hits stores August 28th followed by a full US tour with Hip-Hop labelmates Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz .
I was just listening to Fantastic Playroom , the fantastic new album from the UK's New Young Pony Club , and I realized yet again how this record truly is a one of a kind play through. Fantastic Playroom combines elements of indie music with an electronic edge that will grab a hold of your ears and never let go. The record is littered with catchy bass lines, decorative guitar riffs, and some memorable synth work, all behind some totally distinctive vocals from the lovely Tahita Bulmer. [...]
Normally when a band is from LA, it can go 1 of 2 ways: A band with a lot of hype that lacks anything special or a band with a lot of hype that actually gives your eardrum an eargasm. In the case of Earlimart , they tickle the auditory senses quite nicely while taking you to a place in your mind that evokes road trips, summer days by the lake and thoughts of your first love disappearing from your life. While I've yet to hear all [...]
