mixtape
[T]his is the first month I’ve tried this, so it’s kind of test, but I’m looking for the best way to bring back monthly mixtapes, and maybe I’ve found it. Seeing as giving away mp3’s are a thing of the past, we’ve got
The Rural Alberta Advantage
[I] couldn’t be more excited than to find out that Toronto’s Rural Alberta Advantage was releasing a new record titled, Mended with Gold, September 30th and this blistering single, “Terrified,” was released as well. To say that the new record from The RAA is highly anticipated is putting
Mount Sharp
[B]rooklyn trio Mount Sharp are gearing up to release a brand-spanking new EP, Weird Fears, due out August 26th via yk Records. I am really digging their choice for the first single, the decidedly summer-tastic track “Icarus,” which conjures up that beautiful, fuzzy early-nineties sound that managed to skirt
Soft Swells
[S]oft Swells are named after the bunny hill of waves that beginners use to learn on, and aside from the obvious connection the music takes to the easy breezy California surf vibe, the band has continually been growing up, maturing, and moving on to the big boy waves. “Floodlights,
Filligar
[C]hicago’s Filligar is prepping a brand new single that I’m pretty excited about, “Motor Shine,” a fresh sound for a band that might need a break, they’ve been touring relentlessly for the last 8 years, and specifically the last few after gaining big press from all

Ron Gallo

Trampled By Turtles

Bahamas
[I]’m really digging the vibe on the new track from Afie Jurvanen’s project Bahamas. It’s soulful tune, with a bit of a Jackson Browne feel, the lyrics are focused around believing in someone who doesn’t believe in themselves, and encouraging them to be better, and well
[D]enver, the band, is bringing forth another record this summer, Rowdy Love, and we’re right around the corner from its July 15th release. They just released another track from the record, and it’s a glowing, 70’s inspired folk rock track written about Mike Elias’ marital issues,
Goodnight Texas
[N]ew music from our pals Goodnight, Texas, the cross-country collaboration from San Franciscan Avi Vinocur and Carolinan Patrick Dyer Wolf. “A Bank Robber’s Nusery Rhyme,” evokes that same turn of the century Americana they had focused on on A Long Life of Living, an album that we absolutely
PHOX
[W]isconson’s symphonic sextet PHOX released their highly-anticipated, self-titled, debut today (6/24) via Partisan Records, and quite frankly it is everything you need in a summer album. 12 tracks of blissful, lay back in a hammock on an island beach with a tasty beverage and let your worries
