Guns - Ricochet

Alex on December 04 2015

If you want to ensure no one can ever find your band via Google name them Guns during a period of American history where gun violence and mass shootings are at an all time high. What could possibly go wrong? ...Some day we'll collectively realize as a species that were all in this together and if we don't work together on getting off this dying rock all of our traversing through triumph and struggle will be meaningless. Billions of years of evolution couldn't have intentionally lead us here, at what point do we become an advanced civilization?

Brigitte Bardot - La Madrague

Alex on December 01 2015

Sultry french vocals on this one - we like it. In other news: I am officially 10 pounds heavier than I was before Thanksgiving. I need to go on one of those Dr. Oz miracle diets where all you do is eat the rotten stems of mango trees grown on top Native American burial grounds at an elevation no higher than 200 feet above sea level. -- Or you know... eat fucking healthy and exercise - whichever.

Sierra Manhattan - Indie You

chris on November 30 2015

I've returned from my annual "escape to the south and avoid my computer and phone for a week" retreat. I feel like I could take over the world. I probably won't, so just relax... jees.

Hinds - Bamboo

Alex on November 19 2015

Classic chick rock, can't go wrong - right? This track makes me feel like I should be wearing washed out baggy denim jeans covered in holes. But I'm a 32 year old man so I can't really do that --- or can i?

Santigold - Can't Get Enough of Myself

Alex on November 15 2015

I don't generally post at 9:30AM on a Sunday morning but when I do it's gold --- santigold.

Petite League - Ocean Honey

Alex on November 13 2015

Our friend from Spark Alaska returns with a band -- a great band. I'm old enough to say "this kid is going places!" I encourage everyone to purchase their latest album on their band camp.

Kali Uchis - Ridin' Round

Cover up the kiddie's ears people, cause this a bad bitch. Sometimes chris picks gonna drop F bombs. That's just science.

Cage the Elephant - Telescope

chris on November 12 2015

This type of singing gives me some shred of hope that I could actually sing in a rock band, along with the likes of Dr. Dog and Built to Spill. I feel like if you get emotional enough and just shout-whine-sing it could be gold. Having your still beating heart pulled from your chest multiple times by girls is also a prerequisite. Check.

Pillar Point - Part Time Lover

chris on November 12 2015

Pillar Point's sophomore release is dropping in January and that makes me happy. I need all the happiness I can get right now because I just watched 15 seconds of The Bedford Stop. I've slipped into a deep dark depression and loosing faith in the future of this world by the second.

Max Frost - Let Me Down Easy

Alex on November 10 2015

Yep. It's one of those guilty pleasure pop tracks that just sucks you in, don't resist - just let it consume you. I wont lie, I accompany mr Frost's vocals with my pathetic asthmatic lungs.
