The year of women who are kicking serious musical ass continues on this beautiful morning with the latest from Brooklyn-based musician Breanna Barbara. In this video by Joshua Shoemaker, Barbara performs “Nothing But Your Lovin” a spaced-out, blues-tinged, country rocker with Matt Menold of Clear Plastic Masks, Richard Harper and Ben Trimble of Fly Golden Eagle, and Casey McAllister from Langhorn Slim. The combination of Barbara’s range and soul with the bands tighter-than-a-ducks-ass-going-down-a-waterslide performance makes this a song you need be listening to late in the day on this hazy holiday weekend. Also: Gimmie more.

Oakland-based band Foxtails Brigade have a new spooky video directed by the band’s drummer, Dominic Mercurio, for the excellent single, “We Are Not Ourselves,” off their self-tilted album which was released on April 8th via OIM Records. The Californian quintet are becoming well known (and well loved) for their unique brand of orchestral-indie rock, along with their ability to create a Vincent Price meets Tim Burton world of chilling horror and bloodcurdling macabre with each new video.
Take a look at the eerie, body-snatching fun above…if you dare! It’s OK if you need to watch with your hands covering your eyes. Also be sure to check out the other amazing video directed by Mercurio for “Far Away and Long Ago” to keep those goosebumps going.

Leave a CommentIf you’re looking to shake your booty like it’s the Summer of 2008 I’ve got just the thing for you! UK’s hottest dance-rock band is Metronomy. Lead-singer Joseph Mount and the gang are back with an all-new hot video that answers the question Whaaaaaat!? This video has everything: beats, slugs, coked-up party people, a crazy-haired lady that looks like Catastrophe actress Sharon Horgan (it is), turntable freakouts from Mix Master Mike, The Night’s Watch, closet disco queens, and hedonistic ankle biting ..…It’s that thing, like when a group of people do a lot of drugs and summon goblin children to…
Leave a CommentAlright, this post is less “wow, you need to know about this musician or band” and more “just making sure you saw this song and video,” because, well, it’s Bob Mould. I’m not going to try and explain you something you already know. So, let’s take a boo at the video. First things first, this song is a hopeful song, a things-are-going-to-be-alright-eventually-we’ll-get-through-it-together song, and that in itself is sometimes exactly the ticket. I don’t like pablum and I don’t like platitudes, but like anyone, sometimes I could stand a little reassurance. “Hold On” delivers, managing to keep its positive message…
Leave a CommentWhen was the last time you had goosebumps? Not the kind from the cold, because that answer is probably “this morning,” because this whole “spring” thing is really taking its sweet time getting started. Anyway, FEWS wants more of those moments. Not the chilly ones, the meaningful ones. And they’re demanding them via the expedient of lonesome guitars and breakneck drums, reciting “I got / goosebumps / whatever / gives me / goosebumps” in a disaffected half-shout. Nothing could be more perfectly placed in a crumbling former asylum – the location of the video – which I thought was an abandoned theatre…
Leave a CommentLA-based Nico Yaryan has given us another taste from his upcoming record, What A Tease, out June 3rd on Partisan Records. “Just Tell Me,” is a track that you can practically feel the ocean air on, it’s got a cool vibe, with repeating guitar riffs, and a slow and steady rhythm that’ll have your head nodding before you know you’re actually doing it. On “Just Tell Me,” we’re introduced to a story from Yaryan, and struggles with a long-distance romance. It’s a song about ruining a perfectly good relationship, and agonizing over it, the feeling of helplessness that spans the…
Leave a CommentIt’s Monday. It’s blah outside and inside here in New England as the weather tries to decide if we’re actually going to get a spring. What gets you through an afternoon like this? Well, coffee will certainly help, but this new drop from The Felice Brothers will likely do just as much. The lovable troupe has just released the first single off their upcoming album Life In the Dark (pre-order here) and it’s every bit the accordion-squeezing, tambourine-whacking, foot-stomping joy you’d hope it would be. Is it a bitter, crooked love song? A commentary on the commercialism that so defines our everyday being…
Leave a CommentReally digging the new music I have been hearing from Montreal-based musician Laurel Sprengelmeyer’s project known as Little Scream. The singer was born and raised in Iowa and moved to Montreal to be a part of the city’s rich musical landscape, and the musicians she met helped to create her debut album The Golden Record in 2011. This past January Sprengelmeyer signed with Merge Records and her new Little Scream album, Cult Following, will be released on May 6th, 2016. The first single, “Love as a Weapon,” is a super catchy track that turns any ol’ day into a strut…

Wednesdays, they don’t usually have much going for them. It’s just this boring old middle of the week day where you have just battled through the first two work days and the weekend is still a tease on the horizon. That’s why I pretty much hate Wednesdays. Unless of course there is an amazing show to attend that makes everything all right for a while. On March 16th the Music Savage gang, and a few hundred of our friends, had a particularly fantastic Wednesday because we had all day to anticipate an evening at Somerville Theater with Rhode Island’s one and…
