“Timber” is the latest track to be unleashed from Eaves’ debut EP, As Old As The Grave, and if you like melancholic singer/songwriter fare then you’re in for a real treat. From the first few stark piano notes, it’s obvious that this is going to be a haunting number, and the emotional gravity is felt…

At The Gates released their last album, Slaughter of the Soul, way back on November 14th, 1995. That’s a long, long time ago, isn’t it? Hell, I didn’t even know that death metal existed back then. But it did. And at the time there weren’t as many sub-genres or styles around. To that end, At…

At this point in the game, the always impressive synth rock band known as Fitz & The Tantrums has all but become a household name. And they just might achieve that status with this amazing new video for their gorgeous current single, “Fools Gold,” which opens with some heavy break up dialogue that should really…

It’s smooth, it’s punchy, it’s… disco-hop! Or you could call it hip-hop flavored, bouncy R&B. Whatever you wish. But there’s no deny that these beats are infectious and Trey’s hook is even more contagious.

“We could be kings and Queens / We could have it all / We could build walls to stop the cannonballs,” sings Marie Digby during the chorus of her marvelous new tune “Kings and Queens” from her forthcoming EP Chimera. And we sincerely hope she releases the full EP soon because we are dying to…

“If we could all fall in love together, we’d have no enemies,” sings rising pop sensation Kiesza. And she does have a good point. Better still, she has a lovely, throbbing, monstrous pop song that bangs its way into your head while causing you euphoria in lieu of pain. Trust us, it’s quite the bouncy…

Of course, they had to release one of the songs with the guy singing eventually… Fortunately, it’s every bit as infectious as CHVRCHES other singles, hence our making it today’s #songoftheday. ‘Nuff said.

When Stars released Set Yourself on Fire ten years ago they were a rough around the edges indie rock band with flourishes of pop melodies thrown in for good measure. But ten years of making albums and growing up have changed them and transformed their sound in the process. Now they’re more of an indie…

This song isn’t bad, but it sounds more like a No Doubt song than a Gwen Stefani solo song. And we’ve actually liked her solo stuff more than No Doubt. So, we’re hoping that her album sounds more unique. We need more songs like “What Are You Waiting For” and “Wind It Up,” ya know?…

This one took us a few listens to get into. Our intern, Gas Monkey, still isn’t sure if he likes it. In any case, it’s one of those abstract remixes that you wind up either loving or hating. During the first minute of it, it’s mostly ambient humming and odd sounds along with faint vocal…

Co-written and produced by frequent Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard, Leonard Cohen’s Popular Problems is easily the best album he’s released since his 2008 comeback after a 15 year absence. It’s only 9 songs long, clocking in at 36 minutes, but there’s not a bad one in the bunch. And, yes, I thought 2012’s Old Ideas…

We’ve loved Oh Land since the first time we heard her very artsy debut album, Fauna. Her following album, which was self-titled, was even better, the songs catchier and more accessible. Now she’s back with “Head Up High,” the first single from her third album, entitled Earth Sick, and she’s managed to concoct an even…

File this one under brilliant. From the up-tempo, almost EDM beats to T.I.’s rapid-fire rapping to Skylar Grey’s gorgeous vocals on the hook, everything about this one is impressive. Should really tear it up on top 40 radio.
