New Music | Greyhounds – Devil’s Eyes

Austin duo Greyhounds are set to release their brand new album, Change of Pace, out April 1st via Ardent Music, and we have the video for the first single, “Devil’s Eyes,” to share with you fine folks. This is the second record on the legendary Memphis label, following the 2014 album Accumulator, and the Texas twosome have delivered another funky dose of soulful, southern goodness. The video for Devil’s Eyes is Austin-tastic (yep that’s a word) and, having lived in the live music capital of the world, it brings this Lonestar boy right back right back to his adopted home. …

New Music | Frightened Rabbit – Death Dream

Super excited for the brand new release from Frightened Rabbit and I’m very happy to share with you the new single, “Death Dream.” The track is the opening number from the Scottish band’s forthcoming album, Painting of a Panic Attack, out April 8th via Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records. It’s been three years since we have had new Frightened Rabbit music and about the same amount of time since the boys last tour of the states supporting their fourth album, Pedestrian Verse. During those years lead singer Scott Hutchison, along with fellow Rabbit members Andy Monaghan (guitar/keyboards), and Simon Liddell (guitar) recorded and released an eponymous…

Show Preview | Hot Chip @ House of Blues Boston

[youtube]https://youtu.be/ObUwFmceBvo[/youtube] England’s electronic engineers of dance-rock, Hot Chip, will be energizing an elated crowd of Bostonians tomorrow night at the House of Blues and your mission, should you choose to accept, is to get yourself on down to Lansdowne Street and join in on what is sure to be a good time.

New Music | Trails and Ways – Jacaranda

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0KoqIG4lCo[/youtube] I’ve been combing through my Music Savage inbox opening email submission after email submission, in an attempt to find my summer album of 2015, and ladies and gentlemen I believe my search has finally ended. I present to you Oakland, California 4-piece Trails and Ways. Bandmates Hannah van Loon (guitar/synths), Keith Brower Brown (guitar/synths), Ian Quirk (drums), and Emma Oppen (bass) are set to release their debut full-length album, Pathology, out 6/2 via Barsuk Records. The latest single is the spectacularly dance-fueled, ridiculously catchy number “Jacaranda,”  a song meant for repeated listens while driving with the windows down, or…

Video Premiere | The Zambonis – Don’t Pick a Fight With Chara

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bfp8gYAlAw[/youtube] There aren’t many things I love more than music and hockey, so when the two are combined it’s a win worthy of the rock n’ roll Stanley Cup. Sure that doesn’t exist (yet) but if it did Bridgeport, CT’s one and only hockey loving band, The Zambonis, would hoist the trophy high each and every season. Formed in 1991 by Captain Dave Schneider, The Zambonis quickly established themselves as the undebatable “Rock Lords of the Rink” with the release of their debut album 100% Hockey…and Other Stuff. The “other stuff’” indicated in the title is in fact hockey related…

Video | Hot Chip – Need You Now

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfH5LmhvQQk[/youtube] London’s purveyors of perpetual dance beats and electro-soul since 2000 are back with their sixth studio album, Why Make Sense?, out May 19th via Domino Records. The video for the second single, “Need You Now,” is a looping time hop of mystery and heartbreak set to a pulsing house-rhythm and a sorrowfully-spiraling chorus, provided by a sampled vocal from 80’s R&B group Sinnamon, eternally calling out “I Need You Now!” Hot Chip prove time and time again that neither the bleakest of settings, nor the saddest of souls, can suppress the overwhelming urge we have to bounce around a room to a funky groove. Get…

Show Preview | Matt Pond PA @ The Sinclair – Tuesday, April 7th

It’s been a decade since New York/Pennsylvanian troubadour Matt Pond (along with his fellow Quaker State musicians that make up the PA in Matt Pond PA) released one of the quintessential indie-rock albums of the time, Several Arrows Later, and now several years on it’s time to celebrate that release with a much anticipated anniversary tour. Sure the line-up that has been Matt Pond PA has changed throughout the many tours, and many albums, since the 2005 LP, but it’s a sure bet that the current roster knows how to conjure up the swirling tempos while navigating around the sentimental…
