“Rooks” by Shearwater

If you guys remember (of course you don’t), this was a band I stumbled upon at SXSW and was pleasantly surprised. They just released a new album and this is the first single. Still liking what I’m hearing. This band was started by former Okkervil River member Will Sheff. Weird that I’m not an OR [...]

“This Is Where We Are” by Ravens and Chimes

Nice little indie rock ditty. Grows on you. That’s all I got.

“Noticed” by Mute Math

God, I love this band. Hopefully their sophomore album, which they’re recording right now, will catch on with audiences b/c they sure deserve it. I love that they’re just themselves and dare to be different. Here is a video they made called “Paper Darren”:

“Gravity” by Nico Vega

This song has something catchy about it. The first time I listened to it I thought it was good, but it didn’t hook me yet. Then tonight I heard it on Indie 103 and I found myself thinking “Oh man, what is this song?” I guessed Nico Vega and I was right Here it [...]

“Electric Feel” by MGMT

So they’ve released a video for my favorite track off the album. The one that I think could break them. They may have already broken, depending on what you classify that as. Song on the “Gossip Girl” finale? That could mean yes.

Dave Matthews Band - The Money Encore

Wow. Being a DMB fan (understatement), I cannot post anything but this today.
The tour started with 2 nights in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania this weekend. Apparently the band is on fire. And looks to be so… As the encore started off with a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Money” (with a mind blowing solo from Tim Reynolds, that’s [...]
