So, “Doing It” is to be Charli XCX’s next single from her awesome sophomore album, Sucker. It’s an infectious song that should fare well on radio and allow for a killer video. But for some stupid reason Charli XCX or, more likely, her record label, decided that Rita Ora should hop on the track for…

I’m going to come right out and say it: I’m late to the party on this one. Sort of. You see, I was aware of singer/songwriter Grace Mitchell before she released this EP last October. She’d done a moody cover of Hall & Oates’ classic “Maneater” on the soundtrack to The Secret Life of Walter…

One-time Hotel Café waitress Meiko has come a long way since self-releasing her debut album in 2007 (and re-releasing it via MySpace the following year).

Ormonde is a duo who call Seattle, Washington their hometown. They are Robert Gomez and Anna-Lynne Williams. They met when Anna-Lynne traveled to Denton, Texas during the summer of 2008 to record a duet with John Grant, which was being recorded with Midlake in their studio. Robert was there recording guitar parts for the same…

First of all, you have to check out the video above. It was directed by Syndrome and it’s quite fascinating and creepy; we won’t try to describe it because you should just watch it and see for yourself. In any case, “American Beauty/American Psycho” is one hell of a tune.

“The Dollyrots are a punk rock band but their CDs are very pop.” – from their bio on their Facebook info. And after listening to their new Christmas EP, I’m inclined to agree. The Los Angeles duo’s energy and tempos are very punk rock, but the hooks are so contagious that you could also consider…
