New Music: GIVERS – In Light

I’ve been very much awaiting today’s new music Tuesday for In Light, the debut release from GIVERS. I first discovered the Louisiana group when I heard “Up Up Up,” and instantly became a fan. The five piece indie rock group spread the good vibes with happy music and In Light is on tap to be the perfect soundtrack for the summer.

So get out and support GIVERS, you won’t be disappointed. And if you’re attending Bonnaroo, don’t miss their set!

Also, a tip of the hat to Glassnote Records; another great band added to the growing list of insane talent on one label. All I want to know now is, when is there going to be a Glassnote Festival?!

I love new music Tuesday and today is a great one as O.A.R. release “Heaven,” the first single off their upcoming album King. Thrilled the fellas are back with not only a great new song but their seventh studio album which drops August 2. Check out THIS link for the making of King.

And if you find yourself in Vegas this weekend, check them out at Red Rock Casino, performing quasi-poolside.

New Music Tuesday: Foster The People – TORCHES

24 May

Today is a special day and not just because it is Bob Dylan’s 70^th birthday. Today Foster The People officially released their debut album, TORCHES. Before I go on, please get this album because I promise you won’t be disappointed.

From beginning to end this disc is simply, awesome. While “Helena Beat,” “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Houdini” are the only tracks many have heard, would you believe it if I told you none of those are the best songs on the CD? While I do indeed love those songs, “Call It What You Want,” “Miss You” and “Warrant” could all be considered the top track.

I compare TORCHES to Maroon 5’s Songs About Jane for the simple fact that I can’t recall a debut album having so much potential for hit after hit since.

Also I’ve been fortunate enough to see these guys four times already and if you can somehow swindle your way into one of their shows (just about every date is sold out), you’ll really see what these fellas are made of; talented musicians on the rise.

Check out their performance of “Helena Beat” on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 23 Days – Artist of the Day: The Head and The Heart

17 May

The Head and The Heart are one of the bands I am most excited to check out next month at Bonnaroo. After selling more than 10,000 copies of their self titled debut album by word of mouth alone (we’re talking self burned copies), the disc was re-mastered and released last month. Hailing from Seattle and having already opened for DMB, Vampire Weekend and The Decemberists, The Head and The Heart are definitely one of the rising bands that are sure to strike it BIG very soon.

Sunday 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM – The Other Tent

New Music: Madeon remix – Deadmau5 – “Raise Your Weapon”

16 May

I may be late to the party but I don’t think so. 16 year old French producer, Madeon, should be about to blow up big time with his latest remix of Deadmau5’s “Raise Your Weapon.” Give a listen to the below which Pete Tong first gave a spin four days ago.

New Music: The Belle Brigade

3 May

I have to thank Brett Dennen, for the introduction to this band, The Belle Brigade. From the first time I heard “Sweet Louise,” I was hooked. Comprised of brother/sister duo Ethan and Barbara Gruska, their sibling relation allows for a seamless transition in vocals and harmonious sound on each track. An easy, breezy tone throughout the self titled debut album also makes for a perfect soundtrack to listen to under the summer sun. I believe Paste Magazine sums it up best in their review which you can read HERE. Be on the lookout for the rise of The Belle Brigade.

New Music: Gary Clark Jr.

28 Apr

He rocked Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Music Festival last summer and recently Rolling Stone named him “Best Young Gun,” Gary Clark Jr. may just be the next great blues musician. Hailing from Austin Texas, Clark Jr. can span many genres of music but his slick, powering guitar skills has had him compared to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan time and time again. He’s got a ways to go but definitely off to a great start. Part of the Café Artists line-up at Bonnaroo, I can’t wait to see and hear him live.
