L.A. band Lady Danville describe themselves as a vocal-centric indie-pop band. After a few highly enjoyable listens to their new track “Operating, I’m a fan. It has this hugeness in it’s sound that is really atmospheric and uplifting.
It’s the title track of their new EP which is due out on iTunes on February 14th. A month ago the band were in a car wreck, thankfully they are ok. It inspired them to make these songs, along with the album art that you see above.
Hopefully the rest of 2012 brings sounds as good as this.

As I’ve told you guys before I go to Binghamton University. I am also a part of BUMP, which is a group that tries to get good, smaller acts to play at our school. We just booked the always amazing Atlas Sound, and I couldn’t be more excited. The date of the show is Saturday, February 4th and it’s taking place at the Undergrounds. Admission is only $5.
I got two chances to win free admission to the show. Leave a comment with your favorite Atlas Sound song below, and give me a reason why. The two best answers will come for free, and will have $5 extra to spend at the bars. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Tickets are only $5 so I encourage you to come even if you don’t win. The show is open to students and the public, and the price is the same for both. It’s going to be a great show, for a very fair price, in an intimate venue. Win-Win.
Good luck, and I’ll see you there! Check out the official facebook event here.

Arctic Monkeys stopped by BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge and performed a cover of Katy B’s “Katy On A Mission”. For some reason they love covering female singers/pop stars. It works though, and that’s a testament to the bands unique talent.

“Lonesome” is a track from Dr. Dog’s new album Lonesome (February 7 via Anti- Records). It’s a soulful rock track that hits home at southern rock roots with a guitar slide and a chorus that already sounds familiar.
There’s plenty to adore about this song. Dr. Dog always seem to put high quality releases out, so this isn’t a surprise.
