Musab Cuts Video for “Hat & Shoes”

As far as videos go, Musab’s “Hat & Shoes” is about as much of a departure from his previous video, “Baaang,” as you could imagine from the smooth-talking mack. While “Baaang” was set in his hometown of Minneapolis, “Hat & Shoes” takes place in his newer haunt, Las Vegas. Instead of firing off heavy rhymes straight into the camera, we now have Sab flowing into a microphone in a dark…

Seattle export THE BLAKES celebrated being NPR’s Song of the Day today with their fan-favorite, “Don’t Bother Me.”

The trio’s self-released album has been spritzed up and retooled, but there’s no containing the primal, giddy energy that crackles through it. Careening back and forth between desperate/lovesick and drunk/predatory, the band turns raw, conflicted desire into instantly addictive pop gems and scorching, swaggering rock. The band’s hearts and influences are on full display, but the results are wonderfully contagious. For an ideal example, delve into the winningly bouncy, vaguely…

Vic is all over the musical map, drawing from an amazing amount of influences to…

SMP/Thine Eyes/Noxious Emotion/Fockewolf Tape [ADB]

Wow…4 similar bands that sound completely different from each other. SMP: This band is the best on the tape. They sound like Hate Dept. and fully pull off the gothic/ GOOD industrial sound. I really hope SMP gets a full length album out, so i can be in pure technical nirvana. Rating:8/10 Noxious Emotion: This band sounds like older Manson, NIN, KMFDM, and Aphex Twin. They are obviously influenced by…

This is a Swedish Import that i got for $7 at NRM, and it was money well spent. Most of the covers are dance songs, and as a oddity, they have some substance behind them. I guess it is only Brit and American dance that is…
