It’s time for music fans to sit up and take notice: there’s something special going on in Minneapolis. A solid stream of excellent music is coming out of the twin cities these days, and the latest to add to the list is Prissy Clerks. The band’s debut album, Bruise or Be Bruised, is out on… Continue reading Prissy Clerks

Bad Breaks
We’re back! Thanks for sticking with us through this insanely hectic month. We’re slowly but surely rounding back into form. Bad Breaks is the project of San Antonio drummer, Chuck Kerr, who arranges all songs on piano then approaches his band with the material and makes it roll. “Won’t Come Home,” off Bad Breaks’ s/t… Continue reading Bad Breaks
The 1975 releases new song, “You”
While I attempt to work through the consequences of this storm (I am perfectly fine and have power, not to fear!), I don’t have much mental capacity to say anything other than “listen!”. But the song below, which came out yesterday, is helping me become a little less stir-crazy. The 1975’s new EP, Sex, is… Continue reading The 1975 releases new song, “You”
New music from Borrowed Beams of Light
Borrowed Beams of Light (Adam Brock and Nathan Walsh), out of Virginia, are fresh on the scene with a new EP/LP, Hot Spring, set to be released August 14 via Funny / Not Funny Records. Their jubilant pop gets a kick in the arse on lead singles, “Wing Stroke” (stream) and “Blood Choir” (listen above). Visit… Continue reading New music from Borrowed Beams of Light
Dance to new ARMS: “Summer Skills (Bump in the Night Version)”
Good friend Todd Goldstein is back with his latest ARMS single, “Summer Skills (Bump in the Night Version),” which builds upon and re-imagines the title track to the much-ballyhooed Summer Skills album amidst head bopping psychedelica. The percussion will floor you in the best way possible. ARMS, a four-piece, premiered the track on IGIF, who nailed… Continue reading Dance to new ARMS: “Summer Skills (Bump in the Night Version)”
Fire and the Wheel
I carefully stuck to the pattern, piece by meticulous piece, and this was my life. I built it up until it no longer had legs to stand on. The pattern became random; I couldn’t keep track. And I was finally happy. This is my life. Fire and the Wheel – “Wheelbarrow de la Muerte” [MP3]… Continue reading Fire and the Wheel
The Murder Barn
I definitely needed a fiesty voice and intensely impassioned songs to wake me up during this drab and rainy week. Thanks to London’s six-piece The Murder Barn for giving me the spark I need to get to the weekend. Wait for the songs to pick up; they get pretty dark and awesome.

San Cisco
San Cisco has a pep to its step. The band’s music is bouncy and jubilant, with the free-spirited ramshackle instrumentation of Delta Spirit and Cold War Kids. The band is giving away its track “Awkward,” a simple, cute back-and-forth between its easily likable male and female vocalists. San Cisco – “Awkward” [MP3] San Cisco’s best song,… Continue reading San Cisco
[MP3] Spacecamp: “Miko D.T.B.”
People are loving the no spaces before “camp” these days (no pun intended, promise). Spacecamp, way to play off the popularity of Bandcamp. You know I’m kidding, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I was actually inclined to check out Spacecamp’s music because of their name. If the name doesn’t… Continue reading [MP3] Spacecamp: “Miko D.T.B.”
Brick+Mortar
Finally some upbeat indie rock I can get behind. The music scene has been diluted lately with an overabundance of experimental electronic sounds, and one of the reasons is because of the lack of quality indie rock with those familiar jangly guitars and frenetic vocals (stay tuned for a forthcoming Hype Hype Hooray, written by… Continue reading Brick+Mortar
