Mates of State are touring in support of their new album, Mountaintops which brings them to the 9:30 Club on Wednesday, September 21. TVD, as the graphic above makes plain, wants to send you to the show. It promises to be a night filled with the up-beat quirky pop that the duo is known for. I know that I could use some cheering up because this chilly weather is making me mourn the end of the summer. The Mates are but one of many duos in the annal [...]

More and more frequently, indie rock acts are not only proving that the typical guitar-bass-drums formula isn't necessarily the only path to success, but that no more than two band members are rea... Continue reading "Listomania: Eight Indie Rock Duos We Love" >

If you've been up to date, I've posted my top 15 favorite tracks of the year. I won't lie like others when they make a Best-Of list. It wasn't difficult. It's not to say there wasn't a lot of fantastic music released in 2008, it's just that my favorite songs came to me very easily. However, ever since I made the list, I have been wondering why I followed conventional norms of making a Best Of list that either ends in a "0" or "5." I should have just made a Top 16 list. Reason being is that a song [...]

If I could explain it I would. In between jamming the new F*cked Up EP on Matador (which kills BTW), I've been spinning a lot of Mates of State. These two acts don't exactly have a lot in common. F*cked up are the best think to happen to punk rock since the invention of "1, 2, 3, 4" and Mates of State are an adorable indie pop couple. I'd love to tell you more about Mates of State's latest disc, Re-Arrange Us, but I can't seem to get past "My Only Offer." [...]
Has it been a year already? Last summer, the staff and I put together this amazing piece celebrating the diverse array of record labels that we support and loved called "Happy Independents Day." This year, we've revisit those that made the cut and mourn those that are no longer with us ( R.I.P. TVT ), so come join myself and the staff of Radio Exile as we celebrate "Independents" Day! Happy Independents Day! It's always nice to get a day off in the middle of the working [...]

Saturday, June 21, 2008 I figured that it was only fitting that I returned to the Video Of The Week with Mates Of State, who I had to miss when they were in town because of all that work that's been distracting me the last few weekends. This is My Only Offer. : Click Here If Video Is Not Visible : : SOTO - Episode [...]
Mates Of State just put out a new video for My Only Offer , a stand out track from their newly released Re-Arrange Us out on Barsuk (and reviewed by us here ). This is a well directed (The Beta Movement) and shot video of the pair of them serving as window dressing in an obscure clothing store slowly being buried by colored balls (why not). Enjoy! mp3: Mates Of State - My Only Offer
Have you checked out the new Mates of State record Re-Arrange Us ? There have been few records getting as much play as that gem around MoB HQ (review coming soon). The duo have two videos already released for the record and their too good to not share with y'all. Mates of State - "Get Better" Mates of [...]

El matrimonio indie pop estadounidense, Mates of State ahora nos trae su segundo sencillo titulado "My Only Offer" , uno de los mejores temas que se extrae de su más reciente producción Re-Arrange Us (Barsuk Records). El video fue grabado dentro de una boutique. Mientras el dueto toca dentro del establecimiento, caen bolas de plástico multicolores. Además, muestra a la empleada del lugar que, aunque no esto muy seguro, al parecer quien actúa es Kate Nash. Si alguien sabe, por favor confírmelo. [...]
