Roughly 14 years ago when I was publishing a zine called Ant, The Only Cool Magazine That Bites, as well as writing for Lollipop magazine out of Boston, I received a promo copy of The Dandy Warhols’ Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia in the mail. I listened to it once and it didn’t grab me,…

You may recall Eemia’s SHY being our album of the day recently. If not, you should check it out because it’s a truly amazing EP from an extremely talented new artist who’s sure to become pop’s new “it” girl soon enough. With songs that meld together pop, soul and R&B for a sound that’s truly…

Amy Stroup is a Boston native who now calls Nashville home. Her last solo album was 2011’s The Other Side of Love Sessions, which was a fantastic record. Since then, Stroup has been performing and making music as an alter-ego named Sugar in Trent Dabb’s Sugar + the Hi-lows. She credits her work as Sugar…

This song was posted on Youtube early last December, but there’s always so much going on in the music world that it’s impossible for us to check out everything. Alas, the band’s new album, Together We Shine, which “Stockholm” appears on, is being released March 21st, so now is actually the perfect time for us…

“I’m gonna swing from the chandelier,” Sia sings enthusiastically during the massive chorus of her new single, “Chandelier,” which is without a doubt the best song she’s written during the past few years, which have seen her writing songs for a myriad of other artists with her solo career on pause. We’ll be the first…

We find everything Petite Meller does to be rather exquisite. She’s easily one of the most interesting quote unquote pop stars on the rise today. If you like Say Lou Lou or Foxes, you’d be wise to check her out. With some practically operatic vocals by Joe Fleisch, “Icebear” might not be Petite’s most accessible…

In 2012 she performed at the Olympic Village, singing for the athletes throughout the Summer Olympics. She also worked as a background…

sums it up perfectly. But, if you must know more, it’s very much in the vein of Tegan & Sara’s shiny latest album, Heartthrob, or Goldfrapp’s sultry pop, like on their Head First album. It begins with subtle guitar notes and dreamy, whispery vocals, more like Goldfrapp’s Seventh Tree, but once it hits the second…

Ninetails are a three piece band from Liverpool. As for what sort of band they are, well, that’s nearly impossible to say. Their songs are rather mold-breaking and don’t conform to the rules of any genre, so I suppose you could call them avant-garde, but then avant-garde artists tend to be really “out there” (read:…

) You may recall our January interview with Lily McKenzie, an extremely talented singer/songwriter 0f the pop variety with strong garage (a.k.a. drum ‘n’ bass) and 2-Step influences, which she strongly emphasizes in her gorgeous music. Today our song of the day is the title track from her EP Support Machine, which will be released…
