Listen to Mew – No More Stories…

Mew is one of those bands that make your brain turn into one, giant, pile of musical note mush. They’re sort of on another level. The kind of level you get to by eating guitars raw.

Mew’s new album (slightly annoying, but they are forgiven), No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away, has to be in the top three of the year for me. It’s…

Muse – The Resistance – Listen to Uprising

Muse, has arrived. Their new album has been gaining steam for awhile now, and I thought I’d share the few tracks that have been released.

First, the details. Muse, The Resistance, will arrive September 15. So far, from what I can tell – the lyrics are full of piss and vinegar towards the banks, and the general establishment. Very Muse. The tracking listing is as follows:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz! = Best of 2009

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.

New Paper Route – Absence

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…

Previously named “Something Like Silas”, the band was signed and decided to rebirth under the name “Future…

Listen to Metric – Fantasies – A Broken Social Scene-er

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…

Listen to Killers – Day & Age

The Killers just released a new disc “Day & Age” and while it’s a bit more tame than the historical Killers, it’s really good! Ranging from their ability to produce a space-techno-rock song to full on horns & strings; this album is pretty rich, and just plain fun to listen to.

Anberlin – New Surrender :: New Album

Anberlin keeps pumping out the music. Their new Album, “New Surrender” arrives September 30th. While I’m excited to hear it, I’m a bit worried for a few reasons.

1) They are being produced by Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, New Found Glory). All of those bands I don’t like, and none of them really fit with Anberlin’s sound, in my opinion. That doesn’t mean they’ll …
