Popular Damage are duo from Manchester/Berlin…They make catchy indie dance tracks, as this fun little number off their upcoming EP, “The Royal Fly” proves.  Catch them touring select cities in Europe this spring if you live in that part of the world.
Popular Damage – “Exclusive”

I’m beginning to regret not booking a trip to SxSW this year, especially now that the promotion onslaught for bands playing the festival has begun, and my inbox is jammed full of really good music.  Here’s one from Malachai.  It’s some fucking excellent guitar music…Which I’ve been sleeping on posting lately, so I figure if [...]

This track is rough.  The recording is totally blown out.  The highs are too high…red lining all over the place….not really mixed well at all….but there’s something in this Alex Winston song that’s kinda fucking breathtaking…She did this shit in her basement on Garageband…She’s in the studio now working with The Knocks….I can’t wait till [...]

I’ve been dropping a lot of dance music on the site, but I thought it might be nice to change things up, so today I’m coming with a new track from the Baltimore-based folk outfit, Man&Dog.  The band has a new EP out on November 28th entitled “Another State By Dawn”, and will be playing [...]

Warpaint have the coolest band name that I’ve come across this month. It wasn’t the fact that John Fusciante mixed their record, or the fact their getting rave reviews from all over the place that inspired me to take a listen — it was entirely the band name.  See, so if you have a dope [...]

A few years back I had the opportunity to cacth Gogol Bordello play live and it blew my mind…Think spastic-gyspy-punk-dance-party….and you still wouldn’t even be close.  Word recently came through the wire that the band just released their first live cd/dvd set, “Live From Axis Mundi”– And a couple tracks came along with this information [...]

Just got word of this new project by the Buffetlibre DJ’s — They’ve gotten together 50 of their favorite artists from across the globe to help put together a compilation to benefit Amnesty International, entitled, “PEACE”. With tracks from Dan Deacon, Van She, Crocodiles, Voxtrot, Ra Ra Riot, Black Strobe, Bonde Do Role, just [...]

I’ve been listening to a lot of really heavy dance music recently.  Here’s one that grabbed my attention recently from UK band, Flamboyant Bella.  The band is comprised of four kids from Hertfordshire (I have no fucking clue where that is — but it’s what the press release said, and I’m not in the mood [...]

Speech Debelle just won the Mercury Prize.  We posted on her a few months back, and you could tell that there was something special with that record.  So in the spirit of all things awesome, here is brand spankin new track from Pete Lawrie featuring Speech Debelle….(This is like mastered today new)  Lawrie drops an [...]

This one comes from Portland’s Yacht, with a little help from New Jersey MC, Kosha Dillz.  Its got a funky indie electronic beat with a nice little bounce to it, definitely a fun end to the summer track.  Pretty familiar with Yacht, but this is the first time that I’ve come across anything from Kosha [...]

I’m still out west, and I’m not gonna make it back to the city that is Baltimore for another two weeks or so.  This means that the tickets that I have to the Matt and Kim show are null.  I’m sure one of my friends will pick up my tickets and raise hell.  This Troublemaker [...]

The band Fol Chen has a really hypnotic, almost cult-like sound. They manage to infect your head with the melodies, without letting them get annoying.  I’ve played this song six times in the last hour.  There aren’t to many songs that do that to me anymore.  The band is from the Highland Park neighborhood of [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote about this really great band coming up out of Chicago, Blane Fonda. Tomorrow night, (Wednesday, July 29th) at 8pm Central Time, the band will be doing a live performance, via-internet, so everybody who doesn’t live in Chicago can check them out. The guys will even answer a [...]

Honestly, after the first 16 bars of this song I was a little skeptical…but then dude’s vocal range goes crazy, and this song blows the fuck up. This is Blane Fonda. They are from Chicago. They are doing a lot of shit right…so watch the fuck out….P.the fuck.S…Yes, I really did have [...]

Sometimes I like straight forward, in-your-face, rock songs. Nothing to complected, just simple music that is fun to dance and jump around too. It’s really fucking hot here today, so jumping and dancing is not something I really feel like doing, but maybe if I listen to this song a few more times [...]

I’ve found that I’ve been listening to a lot of early 1960’s garage rock lately. I thinks it the humidity. I found this track while looking through my inbox for stuff to post. It’s from NYC based band, Darlings, and this morning it was just what I needed while enjoying my coffee [...]

I try not to spend too much time posting on big, mainstream acts, but occasionally I come across something that really gets me excited…It’s a pretty rare occurrence for me to get hyped up about big label bands. Franz Ferdinand recently released an album of Dub tracks called “Blood”, and it’s really sparked my curiosity. [...]

I realize that this site doesn’t spend nearly as much time covering bands, as it does DJ ’s and producers, so I thought it might be nice to add this track for you folks to check out. It’s from the Los Angeles based band Gliss, and it’s got that dark/indie/euphoric sound going on. [...]
