Today’s track of the day comes from JEREMY LOOPS. Jeremy hails from Cape Town, South Africa yet I get a very distinct, pint swinging Irish vibe from “Skinny Blues.” Or at least, while I listen to “Skinny Blues,” I want to be swinging a pint around and singing this song at the top of my lungs in an Irish bar. By day, Jeremy runs GREENPOP … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Skinny Blues” by Jeremy Loops
Check out IYES, pronounced eyes, from Brighton. If fairies and things of enchantment have a sound or soundtrack, it’s that of IYES.

CABBAGES & KINGS released their single “Minor Swing” from their forthcoming album DO PIG due early 2015 through Cubcave/MGM las week and we can’t stop listening to it. As we said in a previous post: For US music lovers who may need a comparison in sound, if I had to compare “MINOR SWING” in sound, I would put it that fun and iconic accordion sound that is signature … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Minor Swing” by Cabbages & Kings
If you have ever wondered, what if THE KILLERS and GASLIGHT ANTHEM had a baby, what would said baby…aka band, sound like? It would sound like Australia’s GANG OF YOUTHS. GANG OF YOUTHS released a new single, “Benevolence Riots” and though it is more melodramatic in sound that is leaning to the sound THE KILLERS, it is sung with such emotion from frontman, David Leaupepe, … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Benevolence Riots” by Gang of Youths
Thursdays mean Throwback Thursday with a twist…a cover plus a throwback. Even though I may not be a KAYNE WEST fan or should I say a big KAYNE WEST fan, I do like his song “Love Lockdown” and the cover by GLASS ANIMALS is pretty solid.

Canada’s WATERBODIES have released “Beater”, the B side to their single, “What the French Call “Les Incompétents” and it is another infectious tune. It’s upbeat with distorted vocals and fun drums. The noise sounds chaotic but it all meshes together wonderfully.

I prefer covers of “Cry Me a River” to the JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE original. My favorite one was by LOSTPROPHETS, until I stumbled onto THIEF‘s cover. If Jerry Maguire had Dorothy Boyd at “hello”, then THIEF had me at steel drums.

I love it when Soundcloud surprises me with a new band. Especially one that makes me stop what I’m doing and go in search of more from the band. That is exactly what I did while listening to “Runaway” by KATASTRO. KATASTRO is made up of Andy Chaves on vocals, Andrew Stravers on drums, Tanner Riccio on guitars, and Ryan Weddle on bass. The Tempe, … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Runaway” by Katastro
Grunge returns in the form of LA’s DIRTY CAKES BAND. Part grunge, part psychedelic, part rock rock & roll, and all Los Angeles are the only words that can describe the sound of DIRTY CAKES BAND. Their three song EP NEVER ALONE (released May 2014) is available on Bandcamp. Check out the title track below. It’s reminds us of early grunge mixed with late 90’s post-grunge rock.
