The video is directed by Carolina Melis (who has previously made videos for labelmates Efterklang and Colleen) and Lorenzo Sportiello.

Hey, this is slightly different than most of the fare from Broken Bonez Records. This time, listeners are treated to a bouncy, punky brand of ska that hasn’t been heard in popular music since The Spitvalves cut their last disc for Victory. Mix in some Bad Religion-esque riffs and Fixed Idea’s form starts to coalesce. Some of the instrumental interludes found on the disc (during Tomorrow, for example) begin to…

The venue boasts a 17,500 seat capacity and promises fans from all over the…
The mix of punk and ska music is something that is hard to do successfully and without your band sounding like utter ass, but Fixed Idea know how to do it right. Tracks like “At The Side of the Park†work because the horns do not try to do something unheard of for punk music; at their best moments, the horns replace the bass in providing a deep sound to…

“Fair Trade†starts off “Morning Over Midnight†with a mixture of the new-rock sound with the proper amount of punk influence. Fivespeed thus comes out as a band that is tremendously influenced by Alien Art Farm and Incubus, while still having the current sound associated with acts like Three Days Grace. However, the immediate hit for the band has to be “The Messâ€. The song has everything that is required…
Returning with the second installment of his brand new “Walk With Me” series, rising R&B artist Rob Murat invites MTV2’s Amanda Diva up to give fans a brief insight into her life and her art.

The French Duo’s Debut album A Mouthful is out this winter. Check out what critics are saying already – we’re telling you, the word is good. Really good. The New Yorker “A cross between the Cardigans and Hole, with peaks of orchestral whimsy, it’s an exuberantly bouncy sound.” Pitchfork “…the record is as ambitious and fun as any coming-out party in recent memory.” Filter Magazine “…’On My Shoulders’…set to a…
This is an electric-infused brand of folk rock that envelops all facets of a listener’s senses. The swamp-rock riffs that are such a major part of “I Hope You’re There†is a perfect introduction to Fite’s world, as the shambling sound of the track shows the diversity of sounds that influence Fite throughout. The infusion of a generous synthesizer to “No Good Here†brings one more dimension to Fite’s music,…

The blend of styles that were present on the one-sheet for Fisher made me more curious about how ey would eventually sound, and if it was a possibility that ey could unite all the styles without the resulting music sounding like a Frankenstein’s monster. However, all of my fears were assuaged by the time that “Song For Joel†kicked in. The horns of the track are fun, while the backing…
