Checkin Out My Baby, is the first track on the EP; its wildly fuzzy, totally rockin, and totally belongs up high in your list of top party jams.  Learn How to Hang, teaches us…

Jukebox the Ghost covers Donna Lewis’ I Love You Always Forever

I Love You Always Forever I saw Jukebox the Ghost a few months ago, and they had played this cover.  The only thing I could do was tell people that it happened.  There was no substance to what could only be assumed as a silly lie.  Well, here’s a recording of them covering Donna Lewis’ song. http://www.jukeboxtheghost.com/

Built by Animals Corporate Syndrome EP

Teenage Rampage

Built by Animals is a rock trio based in Brooklyn, New York. Their music draws comparisons to Vampire Weekend, the Strokes and the Unicorns; to which I’d agree with.  Their EP, Corporate Syndrome is loosely a concept album chronicling the growth of someone from high school through the corporate arena.  Although I’m not sure the concept works, the songs do.  Teenage Rampage, is a party song that is quite catchy and you’ll find yourself really enjoying bobbing your head to it; the jangly guitars and the mild afro beat stylings, speak to a reminiscence of  Vampire Weekend’s A-Punk.

The EP is totally solid and worth a listen, so go out and Buy their EP, Corporate Syndrome here.

After the break check the video for Return to the Power Kingdom.

California Breezes with Sonny & the Sunsets

Death Cream Too Young to Burn Sonny & the Sunsets’ beachy songs bring back to the time of early 60’s pop.  They have this real throw back style that marries the sounds of the Beach Boys with the Moldy Peaches. Check out Too Young to Burn, a pure summer chill jam, and Death Cream and see for yourself.  If you like them, why not buy an album that’s perfect for those slow sunny days on the beach. If you are feeling really adventurous, you can download their recent daytrotter session here. http://www.myspace.com/sonnythesunsets
