Tallest Man on Earth
The Tallest Man on Earth – 1904 I couldn’t be more excited about the idea of a new record from Kristian Mattson (The Tallest Man on Earth). And its right around the corner (6/12). For now, we’ll settle (yeah this is settling) for a single. Released today on
Mornin Old Sport
Mornin’ Old Sport – When The Bomb If you are in need of a time machine, read HG Wells, or just turn on Mornin’ Old Sport, a Berklee alum band bringing back sounds of yesteryear… in fact way back to the days of the Great Gatsby. A time in history before
band of horses
Give a listen to multi-instrumentalist Ryan Monroe (of Band of Horses) and the first listen of his single “Turning over Leaves,” an interesting pop-oriented soul influenced track off his upcoming album A Painting of a Painting on Fire. This is definitely not what I was thinking I’d
Black Box Revelation
I hate to limit a specific area to a specific sound but this rock duo, of 22-year-old Jan Paternoster and 20-year-old Dries Van Dijck, playing out of Brussels, Belgium is playing a dirty blues/rock that seems to be coming out of left field. To me,
Langhorne Slim

The Walkmen
Check out a new track from The Walkmen’s upcoming record Heaven (out 5/29) titled “We Can’t Be Beat.” The track is features a tenderly plucked guitar layered beneath singer Hamilton Leithauser’s intimate vocals. The back-porch sound of this track feels very stripped down, and very
passion pit
I know I’m a few days late on this, but I was on vacation, and I think it’s still worth noting. Passion Pit has debuted their new single, “Take a Walk,” which seems to be picking up right where they left of with Manners back in 09. Back
