This one reminds us of The Beatles and Weezer. A very different sound for Foo Fighters!

Imagine that The Killers were born a few decades earlier and were just starting out in 1985… We have a feeling that’s what Cosby did when the band wrote this uppity, super synthy number. The self-produced group, which features two brothers with the last name Cosby, also calls to mind M83, The Presets and Future…

Sometimes a remix can be so good that the artist being remixed will actually drop it before releasing their original album version. Such is the case with this remix of Young & Sick’s “Ghost of a Chance” by RAC. Since we haven’t heard the original version of the song, it’s tough to compare them, but…

Like many of her releases, singer/songwriter Priscilla Ahn’s new album is a Japan-only release. It consists of 10 songs that she wrote for Studio Ghibli’s 2014 animated film Omoide no Marnie. And the album is making me really, really want to see the film. Each of the 10 songs, which are largely folk, are quite beautiful. Surprisingly,…

Maudlin Strangers is the current project of vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jake Hays, an all-around one man band and a talented one at that. “Overdose” is the title track from his forthcoming EP, which we are dying to hear now. As dark as it is seductive, the electro-embellished song is centered around a thick, deep…

“Carousel” is the second song on Melanie Martinez’s Dollhouse EP and it’s a delicious electro-pop treat with fantastic lyrics that make good use of the song’s setting, an amusement park. It might take a couple of listens to get stuck in your head, but it’s well worth your time and attention, one of the best…

“Tears fall / And I know / This pain is just a part of life,” sings Jacquie Lee, who’s thus far most known for being a contestant on The Voice, on her emotive new single, “Tears Fall.” It’s a catchy little number with a relatively organic sound, especially for something aimed at today’s pop radio.…

“Do you wanna see the stars before they fall?” asks lead singer James Michael during the chorus of “Stars,” the opening song on SIXX A.M.’s new — and third — album, Modern Vintage. It’s an inspiring tune that really makes one want to stop and smell the roses, as they say. It also dares you…

To be honest, we weren’t sure if Betty Who was going to live up to all of the hype surrounding her, but now that we’ve tasted her delicious album, Take Me When You Go, we can say that she delivers the goods. If you liked La Roux or Ladyhawke’s debut albums, then you’ll love this.…

OK GO: HUNGRY GHOSTSAs you may remember, I reviewed OK GO’s fantastic Upside Out EP back in August of this year. All four of those incredible, tasty treats are served up deliciously here on the band’s new album, Hungry Ghosts, which is, simply put, baked to perfection. But before we get to the brand new…

We’re still amazed by the fact that these guys make all of this massive-sounding music using only bass guitar and drums. It’s insane, really, but it sounds superb. There need to be more songs in the world that use bass guitar like a lead guitar. Just check out Royal Blood’s self-titled full-length album if this…

Earlier this week, Pharrell’s “Gust of Wind” was our #songoftheday. If we knew this tres fabulous mash up was coming just days later we would have held off to make this our #songoftheday, being that it’s actually better than the original version. The beats, the bass guitar — everything about this is just so perfect.…
