Hey people!

This week's Spotlight Artist is the collaboration between two of my favorite artist, James Mercer of The Shins and Dangermouse, most notably from Gnarls Barkley. I heard about them like most back in September and I recently obtained a leaked version of their debut album, due out in March.

Hey everybody!

This week's Spotlight Artist is a band I got to catch this past weekend during a local music festival here in Chicago. I don't usually go to festivals of this level unless I know at least three bands, but this was the only band that really stood out from the pack. They're fairly new band, and one I am just starting to get to know.

Hey everyone!

My first new artist spotlight of the year goes to a band I discovered a few months ago, but like everything I listen to, it comes in bunches and some bands go to the wayside until I discover them again months later on shuffle on iTunes. This is the case with this band, Fanfarlo.

Okay, I just learned about this band a few hours ago from my roommates, Tyler, and I had to share it with the rest of you. I've only heard about three songs, but it's more than enough for me to claim them as my new jam for the week.

I'm sorry but there was no new music reviews on Tuesday. I'll make it up to you next week, but I do have a Spotlight Artist that should be fun. I'll be seeing them this Saturday, and hopefully, I'll post a follow-up recap.

Hey people!

I know, it's been over a month since I've done one of these, and I'm sorry for that, but nothing has really stuck out to me until about a week ago when I was going through an emo phase, needing some rough tracks to get me in gear. And I came along this one singer that is just as badass as she is talented.

Hey people!

Okay, it's been a few weeks since I've done this, which I give you my profound apologies, I've just not really been inspired by any new bands that really sparked my interest, until last night. I was really bored and just looking through MySpace, which I RARELY ever do when I stumbled across this band's site. After doing some more ( Read more... )

Hey everyone!

Today's entry is from one of my newest discoveries, only finding out about them less than a week. I believe I had heard of them once before, months ago during the South by Southwest recap and by my ex's account, but I had recently saw them perform on David Letterman, their first network television performance and knew this was a band ( Read more... )
