Photos by inger klekacz [M]ajor Lazer is not what you’d call a “sit down” show. It’s not even what you would call a “personal space” show. Major Lazer is a writhing mass of young flesh, dancing and jumping and gyrating to carefully crafted beats and explosions of
Shark?
[T]he world didn’t need another song about California girls, not even 10 seconds of one, and then this one showed up. Shark?’s (try saying that with the right vocal inflection) “California Girls,” is quite a bit different, dispelling the notion of wonderfulness California girls usually get. The
Young Man
Young Man – Unfair [C]olin Caulfield and his nom de plume Young Man released another track from his upcoming record All Around Me, which releases April 9th on Frenchkiss Records. “Unfair,” is a lush, slow driving track that feels a bit pedestrian. It seems to have quite the amount of
Sonny & the Sunsets
[R]ockers Sonny & The Sunsets have nestled into a really wonderful niche, that seems to allow them to churn out album after album after album, of this wonderful garage rock / psych pop pastiche. Surprisingly, they are releasing their fourth album in as many years. The album, Antenna to the
Andrew Leahey
Andrew Leahey – Little In Love [A]ndrew Leahey’s straight up southern rock sound and direct songwriting grabbed me on this single off his upcoming EP Summer Sleeves, which lands April 2nd. “Little In Love,” is a tune about the fleeting moments of falling in love with someone, those moments

Har Mar Superstar
Har Mar Superstar – Lady, You Shot Me [S]ean Tillmann (no relationship to Josh) could moonlight as a stuntman for Ron Jeremy, (he never seems to want to wear clothes anyways). And he’s about to disembark on his fifth album, Bye Bye 17, on Cult rRecords, and this first
Port Isla
[A]nthemic folk music with a splash of Fleet Foxy goodness all wrapped into a tight package, and flown over the pond and straight into our ears. I’ve been loving the sounds I’ve been hearing from Port Isla, a Norwich, UK folk rock band that belts out the
Sad Baby Wolf
[bandcamp track=694524699 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande] [B]ack in December of 2011 I posted up early tracks from Sad Baby Wolf, a project from ex Shins’ keyboardist Marty Crandall and former member Neal Langford. They were reverb drench rock tunes, they shimmered and echoed like dreampop, or
City and Colour
[D]allas Green’s highly praised solo project City & Colour has a new record coming this summer, and finally released this beautiful track “Of Space and Time,” a gloomy track about loss, and being lost, that by its climax soars, but echoes within the sullen nature of the lyrics.
Treetop Flyers
[C]an I get a little Ventura Highway with my coffee this morning? Treetop Flyers are set to release their debut release, The Mountain Moves, on Partisan Records June 25th and have released this wonderful breezy tune “Things Will Change,” that sounds more like America than it does a 5
The Features
[N]ote the sonic shift from Nashville band, The Features, on new track “This Disorder,” which will appear on their upcoming record eponymously named record, The Features. The funk styled pulses, the staccato synths, and the short stabbing guitars and a track that seems to be vocally spearheaded and feels
