I love that “Wicked Ones” by DOROTHY grabs you by balls (real or imaginary) and commands your attention. Hailing from LA, DOROTHY is the kind band that ninja kicks you in the teeth, but you still fall at their feet in adoration. Vocalist, Dorothy, is a powerhouse on vocals. No offense to the super talented LIZZIE HALE (also a powerhouse on vocals), Dorothy’s vocals are full of … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Wicked Ones” by Dorothy
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
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
Holy freaking moly…have you ever just heard a song and just said “whoa”? Like Joey Lawrence “whoa”? That’s the exact statement that came out of my mouth. “WHOA.” I stumbled onto THIEF when fellow musician LANKS tweeted about this song. What I dig about the song is that it starts out with minimal music. Just a beat and a synthetic sound and then the real beat … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “You Look So Good to Me” by Thief
I stumbled onto MOTHXR via Soundcloud’s recommended tracks and I must say I completely fell for them hook, line, and sinker. The song “Centerfold” makes me think of The Church and The Smiths and I want to own everything they have released! Check it out below.

When The Hundred Days first landed on the music scene with their catchy song “Sex U,” I fell in love with them. At the time I worked in radio, I was pretty obsessed with this band and pushed in getting them into being added to a radio show. I would push the band onto anyone who would listen to me talk about them. They were added … Continue reading EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “Famous Overnight” by The Hundred Days
Finding a song EARGASM worthy is always hard. I mean, it has to live up to it’s name, and bring joy to ones ears. Like a kid who didn’t take their adderall, I’m musically all over the place in what I like and I thank the Universe every day for an open musical mind because that’s how I found this week’s EARGASM. All the way from from Oklahoma, … Continue reading EARGASM: “What” by Broncho
We can’t stop listening to Lanks (aka Will Cuming). Lanks is a solo project for Will (he fronts Farrow). The Melbourne native uses the project to explore the traditional folk storytelling via electronic music. Lanks sounds wiser than his 24 years of age. Give a listen to his THOUSAND PIECE PUZZLE EP below. It is our EARGASM of the week because we are digging the mix of … Continue reading EARGASM OF THE WEEK: Lanks
We couldn’t decide between the original or the remix of Amber Run’s “I Found” but all we know is that we can’t stop listening to it. We love the lyrics: “I’ll use you as a warning sign. That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind…” Amber Run: Facebook | Twitter | Website [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/158936456″ params=”color=00aabb&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /] [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/159956452″ params=”color=00aabb&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” … Continue reading EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “I Found” by Amber Run
