At approximately 9 P.M. on August 6th, 2014 Youngblood Hawke took to the stage at Brighton Music Hall in Allston, Massachusetts — just outside of Boston — and made musical history. OK, so maybe they didn’t make musical history, but there is a whole lot of musical history wrapped up in the band’s bright and…

We’ve loved LIGHTS from day one, since we bought her first EP something like six years ago. There are few people on this planet who make electro-pop and synth pop as catchy as she does.

Nobody likes saying anything negative about Jenny Lewis. She’s never released a bad album and has generally been a very prolific singer/songwriter, pumping out albums every couple of years — if not more often — for well over a decade now. Until recently, that is. Her new solo album, The Voyager, comes six years after…

Hard to believe but Danny Darko has released over thirty Top 50 Releases on the Beatport Genre Charts. Equally impressive: his Youtube channel, launched in 2012, has received over 4 million views. We suppose that’s just what happens when you get kudos from DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Pete Tong, Judge Jules,…

If you like M.I.A. then you’ll more than likely dig “Ping Pong,” this hot new tune by Mighty Mark featuring TT The Artist and Sushi Samson, “Ping Pong.” Lyrically, it certainly doesn’t break new ground; “Big booty, shake it, shake it.” And if you’re stick of twerking then you probably shouldn’t pay much attention to…

Pixie Lott’s new EP kicks off with her new single of the same name, “Lay Me Down,” which, like “Nasty” before it, finds the singer back in full pop mode after taking a disappointing R&B detour on her second album, Young Foolish Happy, which was far inferior to her debut, Turn It Up. I really…

Yes, it’s true. Like it or not (we like it), Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have recorded an entire album of duets together. From what we understand, the album consists entirely of covers and it’s called Cheek To Cheek and drops September 23, 2014. The first single is a short but infectious ditty called “Anything…

SPC ECO: THE ART OF POP The best artists are those who are constantly changing colors like a chameleon if not downright evolving and SPC ECO make a great leap forward with The Art of Pop, an album that ditches all of those raw, distorted guitars in favor of delicious, pristine pop beats, uplifting melodies…

OK, so technically this is only about half a song, sung while she’s sitting in her car, but if she can sound this good live then you know darn well her forthcoming EP is going to be incredible. Especially if it has this lovely song on it. “I’ll take you higher than the Eiffel Tower,”…

It’s no secret that I love California-themed songs and that’s a large part of why I’m digging this new tune by Amelia Lily. But I also like it because it’s an infectious pop song with an invigorating rock edge, Lily (and whoever works with her) opting to use drums and rock guitars instead of your…

Imagine, if you will, Robin Thicke collaborating with The Weeknd. Not the Robin Thicke of his recent album Paula though. We’re talking about the Robin Thicke of “Blurred Lines” fame. You take that song, make the vocals deeper, speed it up a bit, and give it a murky sound and, voila, you’ve got Erik Hassle’s…
