Tegan and Sara’s “I’m Not Your Hero”

Tegan and Sara, whom I adore, came out with their new album Heartthrob this week. I love this song from it: Your Thoughts?

Warned You

A new song called “Warned You” by the band NowhereNauts. I love the drumming on it.

Tegan and Sara’s New Song “Closer”

Tegan and Sara, the twin sister pop band whose music I have been obsessed with for a couple years now, just released the first single from their forthcoming album–a super cheesy ’80s soundalike song.

A New "Broken Social Scene" Band!

For a decade now, Broken Social Scene has been one of the best bands in all of pop music, indie or otherwise. They are also a band filled with talented artists who are part of other bands on the side, some of which are comparably fantastic as BSS itself. Now Brandon Channing, one of the central [...]

The Walkmen's "Heaven"

Below is the new video from The Walkmen for the title track of their new album Heaven, which came out last week. The song basically sounds like every other Walkmen song. Which means it sounds fantastic. I got to see them live in the winter of 2010. A real treat, don’t miss them if you [...]

"Sorry OK Yes" Reminds Me of the Black Keys

Check out the catchy crunchy electric guitars on this song “So” by the band Sorry OK Yes. Especially give this a listen if you love the old school Black Keys (as I do). That’s the basic vibe here. Their stuff can be purchased here, though I don’t see anything for this song there. I haven’t [...]

Menomena's "Evil Bee" (Camels With Hammers Blogathon Insomniac Theater)

One of my favorite, relatively unknown bands is Menomena. Here’s an awesome video for their song “Evil Bee”: Your Thoughts?

Tegan and Sara in "Body Work" and "Carpool Confessional"

The song is credited as primarily Morgan Page’s but all the singing is Tegan and Sara so mediocre lyrics aside, I’ll consider this one a Tegan and Sara song. It’s great to see and hear them again: AND they’re recording their new album finally! And they’re filming all their trips to and from the studio [...]

Shelley Segal on Her Religious Producer and Pseudonymous Band Members For Her Atheist Album

Kylie recently interviewed Shelley Segal who wrote An Atheist Album (which I very much liked and recommended you pick up). Particularly notable revelations were that the album’s producer was religious and that the band members, fearing for their careers in America, opted not to have their names listed in the credits of the album rather than [...]

St. Vincent's "Cheerleader"

A new video from the incomparable St. Vincent: This is the closest to anthemic that Annie Clark ever gets and that makes it too relatively straightforward for her. What is here is good if there were something else, less direct also going on. The song feels half done, more like a traditional pop song than [...]
