This is going to be one hell of a song for the upcoming summer. I was introduced to Lady Gaga because a friend of mine hates me. I say hate because I am unable to take the song out of repeat on my iTunes. Even by watching the video, you tend to believe her claim [...]

It’s difficult to accurately describe the sound that is produced from a band like Au. Thats kind of the point. Like other experimental music, the foundation of their upcoming LP Verbs is built with a sense of unexpected precedent.

Here is I Will Possess Your Heart from Death Cab’s upcoming LP Narrow Stairs, out on May 13th via Atlantic Records. There seems to be a lot of anticipation and buzz about this full length among critics who are saying it is a departure from the increasingly poppy production style seen on Transatlanticism and Plans, [...]

It has been no secret in the Seattle area that the Fleet Foxes are contenders for one of the best up and coming bands of 2008, so it’s nice to see the boys attained some national attention during SXSW. Given the critical excitement of their performances in Austin, it would seem Sub Pop is [...]
