The three-week-long trek now runs through mid-May and hits even more cities throughout the Midwest and will hit the West Coast as well, and includes a throwdown at the two-day Forward Ohio Fest alongside Masakari,…

Hot on the heels of the ferocious Shock-U-Py! EP, the world renowned voice and vision of DEAD KENNEDYS and long-standing punk rock innovator returns with bared teeth and an anti-austerity blast-a-thon of a record. Recorded in San Francisco with longtime producer Marshall Lawless and…

Produced by Converge’s Kurt Ballou (High on Fire, Torche), MEIR marks an indisputable milestone for Kvelertak. Tracks such as “Evig Vandrar” and the brutal “Nekrokosmos” see…
So Many Times Before is a cool effort, linking together Lynyrd Skynyrd-quality guitar riffs with a tremendously introspective and emotive set of vocals. For those that would doubt that this style would work, the honky-tonk strut of Right in Front of Me will convert. The style created by Hornyak on Marigold is something that is striking, in that it takes hints of Tom Petty, Hank Williams Jr., The Wallflowers…
13 Questions is an album that feels absolutely epic in scope. The beginning track, Turn of the Century, ties together a masterful narration with bombastic instrumentation and a lavish production. The Busker utilizes an early country and western style; Cannon’s vocals pull double duty in telling a story and providing additional harmony to the song. True Eyes is an effort that is inspired by “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner”-era Warren…

Never Come Down is catchy and compelling, blending equal parts singer-songwriter pop with reggae. Fans of Jason Mraz and Dave Matthews can find something to appreciate. Touhill is able to distinguish himself from the rest of artists in the soul / reggae style as there is a decided effort to make each arrangement pop. One Thing builds off of the work crafted by The Police while infusing the track with…
It has been 15 years since bassist Kyle Eastwood burst onto the jazz scene with his 1998 debut, From There To Here. At that moment in his budding career, the press seemed more preoccupied with his paternal lineage (he’s the son of famed actor-director Clint Eastwood) than his music. Over the course of the four subsequent releases – 2004’s Paris Blue, 2005’s Now, 2009’s Metropolitan and 2011’s Songs from the…
Perfect Girl is the introductory track to Sterling Loves U, providing listeners with a catchy bit of alt-rock in the vein of Cake, Weezer, and They Might Be Giants. The chaotic energy that the track thrives on separates this introduction from other similar efforts. With a full head of steam, Witt is able to enjoy additional success with Help Yourself. This track builds thematically on the introduction while bouncing…
Ninja Tune are very excited to announce that Machinedrum has joined our roster. We’ve been massive fans of Machinedrum for years and whatever style he’s doing he never fails to impress with his unmistakably precise and relentlessly forward-looking production that is as effective on headphones as it is in the club. It’s an absolute honour to work with him as he develops all elements of his sound and vision for…
Don’t Give Up On Me is the first track on Nothing’s Permanent, and its poppy, female-led vocals will immediately provide listeners with a timeless, torch song-type of feel. The production present on this album is admirable, allowing each element of the band to shine on their own. No matter how clear the horns, guitars, or drums might ultimately be, there is a cohesion that makes the songs resound well…
PITBULL RELEASES NEW VIDEO FOR “FEEL THIS MOMENT” FEATURING CHRISTINA AGUILERA http://vevo.ly/Yg7rzE
Doesn’t Really Matter is a track that is able to build off of the goodwill established by Tried and Tried, forging a bold new path with a blend of folk, country and intensely emotional crooning. The rich instrumentation will immediately draw listeners in, while the slight shift in the vocals provides a much different feel to this composition. Sandbox is an act that can create a very close scattershot…
Cold Wind is a track that will immediately provide listeners with a microcosm of the styles and influences that will be presented to listeners on 1977. What results is a bouncy, soul-filled rock track that absolutely soars when included on the vocals. The arrangements presented on Cold Wind will immediately draw listeners in and keep them focused through the first half of the album; Quietly is an effort that…
Produced in collaboration with Sapin’s La Esensia Label. “Procession” heralds the reawakening of the acclaimed swedish dark ambient project Desiderii Marginis, an album that sounds at the same time warmingly familiar and inspiringly new. While Desiderii Marginis is perhaps not as prolific as some other acts, it’s “quality over quantity” motto always makes it well worth the wait and this is certainly no exception. The eight pieces that make up…
