News: @WalkTheMoonband Self Titled Album Drops Today!
19 JunI couldn’t be more excited today for the fellas of Walk The Moon as they release their self titled debut album on RCA Records. Having had the pleasure of meeting the guys, interviewing them and seeing them in concert at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and here in Las Vegas I feel like I’ve kind of been along for the ride a little. I’m beyond stoked that they are now getting heavy airplay, being tabbed by MTV as a Push artist, Esquire.com adding them to the songs of the summer (for a second year in a row) and more. These guys are still ascending and it’s one of those things that just makes me smile; plus I think everyone should be digging their music and right in time for summer it’s perfect tunes to enjoy three months of sunshine. Added bonus, tune in to David Letterman tonight where the guys will be the special music act.

New Music: Passion Pit – “Take A Walk” (Music Video)
18 JunIf you’re like me and excited about Passion Pit’s new album Gossamer, check out this new video for “Take A Walk” off the upcoming LP. The new album drops July 24 and if you are heading to festivals check them out at Lollapalooza, Firefly Music Festival and Outside Lands.
New Music: Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls
9 AprEvery music fan should be excited this week as the Alabama Shakes release their debut album, Boys & Girls (available for iTunes download now). From the first moment I heard Brittany Howard’s voice I was infatuated and just loved her band’s sound. To me, Alabama Shakes are a throwback to an era when the best music was being made and creativity was at an all time high. Do yourself a favor, get this album, crank it up and just listen. This is what rock and roll is!
They are the up-and-comers with the biggest buzz right now (I told you to hop on the train last November) and if you have the opportunity to catch them live this summer, do not miss out (I’m getting mine finally, at Bonnaroo).
News: Bono Inspired by Temper Trap for New U2 Albums
11 JanSaw the below online and wanted to share as it’s not every day a rock legend like Bono gives praise to a band. Icouldn’t be happier for the Temper Trap and looking forward to their next album!
From the Herald Sun:
BONO has cited Melbourne band the Temper Trap as an inspiration on the new U2 album.
Talking on the U2.com site to fans, Bono said the band was working on three albums with different musical directions.
“Something really exciting is that finally the rock band is melting into clubland and experimenting with sounds that are not normally deemed authentic for the rock band – synthesizers, experimental sounds – which you can hear in an album by the Temper Trap,” Bono said. “That’s exciting, a new hybrid.”
The Temper Trap, whose hit Sweet Disposition was compared with the sounds of U2, has been recording its second album, due for release mid-year, in LA and London.
Must Have Music: Frank Turner – England Keep My Bones
13 Dec
You ever listen to an artist/band for the first time only to discover they have been around for quite some time, have released a few albums and wonder, “where the hell have I been?” Well it happened to me last month with Frank Turner and damn, I cannot get enough of his record, England Keep My Bones, his FOURTH album. I now find myself listening to his previous works to catch myself up to what I’ve been missing but continuously being drawn back to his latest record which was released this past summer. Turner exudes a singer-songwriter, folk, punk style unlike anything I’ve ever heard.
Say hello to Frank Turner and give a listen to one of best albums of 2011.
New Music: IAMDYNAMITE
5 DecWhile I love to share new music with my friends, I like it even more when a friend introduces me to a new band/artist and man was I lucky this time around. For the last month I have been infatuated with IAMDYNAMITE, an explosive rock outfit consisting of guitarist Christopher Martin and drummer Chris Phillips. It is Detroit Rock City with these two Michiganders and their debut album, SUPERMEGAFANTASTIC, is something you need to get on top of yesterday.
New Music: The Black Keys – El Camino
2 DecI cannot wait until next Tuesday when The Black Keys drop their seventh studio album, El Camino. While the first two tracks that surfaced on the internet, “Lonely Boy” and “Run Right Back” are killer, they don’t do the album nearly enough justice (do some searches and you can find all the tracks to stream). Holy amazing this is a rocking disc. In my head I hear TBK original sound but also channeling rock legends like the Stones, Peter Frampton and Led Zeppelin. Just listen to “Little Black Submarines” below and prepare to be blown away (*hint: 2:07 mark it gets loud!). If there is a way to close out 2011 with a bang, this is it as El Camino comes cruising into the spotlight.
