We featured MOTHXR and their song “Centerfold” as our Eargasm and we compared the song to “what if The Church and The Smiths had baby” and it made us want to get everything they have released. The addiction to MOTHXR only strengthens and continues with their new single “Stranger.” (available on iTunes). What a beauty this song is. Sexy. Seductive and enthralling. Listen below and … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Stranger” by Mothxr
I may have squealed when I saw this pop up in my Soundcloud feed and I am being honest. I did squeal. LANKS has become one of my favorite artists in the last few months. We’ve posted about LANKS on this site here, here, and here. Quick recap of LANKS (aka Will Cuming) is from Melbourne, Australia who also fronts FARROW. Just a mere 24 years … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Beach Houses” by LANKS
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
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. IYES is Josh Christopher and Melis Soyaslanová and their voices are as ethereal as their sound. Absolutely captivating. You can pick up “Glow” on iTunes.

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.
