Track of the Day: “Stared at the Sun” by The Shabbab

What I like about THE SHABBAB is that I’m instantly reminded of early BOB DYLAN with a mix of that punk rock sound THE CLASH introduced into the world. The boys just released the video below for “Stared at the Sun” from their self titled EP. THE SHABBAB is Shuki Rosenboim (vocals/percussion), Said Choucair (Guitar/backing vocals), Vito Lucarelli (bass/organ/backing vocals) and Constantine Stefanou (drums) and you can download and stream The Shabbab … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Stared at the Sun” by The Shabbab

Track of the Day: “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas” by 8 Bit Love

Those fanciful fun fellows from 8 BIT LOVE have given us a non traditional Christmas song (the best kind I say) with “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas”. 8 BIT LOVE‘s  quasi-Christmas carol was inspired in December 2012 when frontman, Vito, and housemates received an eviction notice in the mail. “It’s a tale of shock, anger, despair and the concerns of the bonds between housemates when bond is … Continue reading Track of the Day: “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas” by 8 Bit Love

Track of the Day: “Halloumi” by Wayfarer

Melbourne beatmaker WAYFARER has released a brand spanking new single from his BEAT TAPE 02 EP and it’s downright fun, flirty, and sassy! While listening to it, I am instantly thrown back in time and watching my friends play Mario Cart. I believe there might even be a “one up” leaning sample in it! BEAT TAPE 02, released today and was mastered by Andrei Eremin (Chet Faker, Oscar Key Sung, … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Halloumi” by Wayfarer

Track of the Day: “Beach Houses” by LANKS

Just a mere 24 years … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Beach Houses” by LANKS

Track of the Day: “Minor Swing” by Cabbages & Kings

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
