We got our first taste of ‘Bugs’ in late January, when O’Death announced their upcoming album ‘Outside’ which would be released on April 19th (just a few weeks now!) Filmed on the coast of Maine, the video has a duo of creepy masked people wandering in the woods. O’Death will be touring extensively leading up to the record’s release on April 19th. See below for dates. O’DEATH TOUR DATES: Wednesday, Mar. 30 – Vancouver, BC @ Biltmore Cabaret w/ The Strange Boys, Natural Child Thursday, Mar. 31 – Portland, OR @ Doug Fir Lounge Friday, Apr. 1 – Missoula, MT…
2 CommentsMusic Savage Posts
The Newport Folk Festival lineup was announced last night at the Middlesex Lounge in Cambridge. There truly is a mix of old and new with the lineup and a bunch of artists that have been featured on Music Savage in the past. I’m extremely excited for bands like Middle Brother, the Felice Brothers, Freelance Whales and The Head and the Heart, and its cool to see there are a few bands I haven’t had the opportunity to check out as of yet. This festival is definitely not one to miss. Saturday July 30, 2011 The Decemberists Gillian Welch Gogol Bordello…
1 CommentPitchfork TV premiered the Pains of Being Pure at Hearts new video for song ‘Heart in Your Heartbreak,’ in which the gang goes wild in a guitar store. Who doesn’t want to work in this store? The song comes from recently released LP ‘Belong.’ Buy Belong
2 CommentsTen-Twenty-Ten Greenleaf The Generationals have been on my radar since I first heard ‘When they Fight, They Fight,’ and to say I was excited to hear their Trust EP, and now their LP Actor-Caster would be an understatement. That being said… today marks the release date of ‘Actor-Caster,’ and to me this is their finest work to date. The first track on the album ‘Ten-Twenty-Ten,’ sets a wonderful tone for this album. It’s a bright & sunny jam with a driving rhythm that will have you bobbing your head and reaching for the repeat button. ‘I promise’ is a jangly…
Leave a CommentWhip My Hair – Today FM Ray D’Arcy A few weeks ago, James Vincent McMorrow did a cover of Willow Smith’s Whip My Hair on Today FM with Ray D’Arcy. This is actually fantastic it might be a cover of the ‘Neil Young & Bruce Springsteen’ cover from Fallon. It’s actually pretty awesome. Comedy aside, I assure you if you haven’t heard James Vincent McMorrow’s recently released album, Early in the Morning … I’ve reviewed it here. I can assure you, its one of my favorite albums of 2011 and well worth the price they are asking for it ($5.99).…
Leave a CommentFestival Brooklyn’s Country Mice don’t sound anything like a Brooklyn band, their sound is roughly a twangy indie rock band with dirt rubbed all over it. Its not glossy, but it is rootsy, a little bluesy, and all kinds of rockin (see ripping solo). This single is released on the anticipation of their debut album ‘Twister’ out June 7th. The bands Kansan roots help tell tales of hardships, joys, and love of growing up in a small town in the Midwest. More from Country Mice: Myspace| Facebook | Twitter
Leave a CommentThe new video for Okkervil River’s Wake and Be Fine premiered today, the song is from the upcoming album “I Am Very Far” by Okkervil River, out May 10 on Jagjaguwar. The dark contrasty visuals complement the dark side of the song, and give you a really good opportunity to hear and read the lyrics to the song. Okkervil River has really stepped up the level on the music here, and its only that much more exciting to get to hear the rest of the album out in a few weeks.
Leave a CommentAsking Your Mom for Money Synth Pop band from here in Boston, the Bynars, make some of the most fun music around. Releasing a second single from their forthcoming album, for sale / name your own price on bandcamp. Every time I write about these guys, I shout out loud… ‘this is their catchiest song yet!’ and I’m saying it again. The song is super catchy, fun, and highly highly highly repeatable. I’ve been a big fan of these guys for a few years now and really never get sick of their ‘Party All Nite’ EP, and I am really looking…
