If you miss the days of pretty hair band ballads, you should appreciate We The Kings’ ambitious new single, “Stone Walls,” which starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds into something potent if not powerful. I’ve always preferred their acoustic tracks and ballads, so this one was right up my alley and is the…

If you like a healthy dose of rock in your pop and a dash of the psychedelic for good measure, well, look no further. The Art of Amputation’s glorious new single, “Distorted Pop Song,” is all that and a damn strong, complex cup of coffee. A massive anthem if ever there was one, monstrous drums…

Let’s face it, during the past few years Weezer have been more of a mainstream pop band than an alternative rock band on albums like Hurley and Raditude. Personally, I loved those albums. I just felt like they always had a pop element to their sound and they were just learning to embrace that. So,…

If there’s been one band to emerge during the past decade which has proved impossible to kill it’s the Austin, Texas outfit …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Granted, their career has had high points and low points, but regardless of what their status may have been at this point or…

Normally, just posting a URL will make the Soundcloud player appear embedded on our site, but today Soundcloud is apparently having hiccups or something. In any case, we certainly suggest that you click on the above link…

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…

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

“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…

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…

The Picturebooks is a German duo consisting of Fynn Claus Grabke [vocals, guitar] and Philipp “Maddin” Mirtschink [drums]. The two first met hanging out at a skate park and became fast friends, realizing they had more in common than skateboarding, especially their mutual adoration of motorcycles and bands like The Smiths, The Cure and Minor…

“She ate my heart / I love New York City,” sings Lenny Kravitz, oh so passionately, on “New York City,” one of the best cuts from his primo new album Strut. Roughly ten years ago on his Baptism record he did a tune called “California,” putting the golden state up on a pedestal, the song…
