My friend Chris introduced me to Yeah Yeah Yeahs the other day, and damn are they good! About two weeks ago I picked up their new album It's Blitz and I haven't taken it out yet. It's non-stop awesomeness. Every song is spectacular and has strong replay-ability. Just listen to it. You'll love it. The whole album is here for your betterment. Check out their video for Zero, and below… Continue Reading

I know Jars of Clay has had a loyal following since the 90's; but I was not one of those people. After their first album, I fell (hard) off their band wagon. However, with their new album The Long Fall Back to Earth those of us with a broken tailbone might be ready to once again gather ourselves up, and rejoin the Jars  fan club. The new album truly is really… Continue Reading

Paper Route just released their first full length album, Absence, and it's excellent. Be sure to listen to the whole album! With a blend of midi's, synths, drum machines, multiple guitars, and huge drums, this is one of the most unique albums I've heard this year. I recently saw them with Copeland at the Rock 'n Continue Reading

Future of Forestry has not one new album, but four new albums coming soon. The first? Travel. Wait, it gets better: you can download the new song, Traveler's Song, for free! Previously named "Something Like Silas", the band was signed and decided to rebirth under the name "Future of Forestry" after… Continue Reading

Fantasies is Metric's fourth studio album, and it's four times awesomer than most everything else 2009 has heard. You may have heard lead singer and songwriter Emily Haines' voice before as she has been featured on Stars' albums, and (like many other amazing artists) is part of the Broken Social Scene. Fantasies has a very interesting story behind… Continue Reading

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion is easily one of 2009's best, and you can listen to the whole thing right here! Animal Collective has been around for years, and they have a cult-like following who would probably secede from the union to live in an Animal Collective commune if they could (which would be bad news for us, because they're from Baltimore, MD)… Continue Reading

Death Cab for Cutie has a new EP our called Open Door and it's solid - but not awesome. The Open Door EP comes not long after their most recent full length, Narrow Stairs. Narrow Stairs was a bit of a return to their roots. If you were Plans fan you probably disliked Narrow Stairs; if you were a Photo Album fan you… Continue Reading

Thirteen Senses' lead vocalist, Will South, might remind you of Mew's lead singer (but, not quite as awesome). This piano driven British band with a clean guitar supplementing the tunes is fairly melodic and worth a listen, but you may found yourself 'in like' but not quite in love. Listen to a few tracks, and you be the judge. Thirteen Senses has been picking up steam… Continue Reading
