We All Want Someone To Shout For

Beast Make Bomb are releasing their new EP, Sourpuss, on January 29th. To celebrate, they’re playing a release show at The Studio At Webster Hall that same day (buy tix here). The band also has a new video for “Rough It Out”, a song taken from the new EP. Watch that below:

We’ve posted about them in the past, and I bet their new EP is a lot of fun. You can download their last EP for free here. The band was also a finalist in Converse’s Get Out Of The Garage Contest. Hopefully they’re picked as the lucky winner.

Diplo gave Sleigh Bells “Tell Em” a pretty chill remix. Adds a whole different dimension to it. Gotta add this one to my next party playlist.

Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” is one of the coolest songs of the new year. It’s a nearly perfect pop gem that’s made up with all the right ingredients. TV On The Radio/Maximun Balloon cool dude Dave Sitek felt the same way, and decided to kick out his own remix of it.

It’s all kinds of cool. The horns he adds are all too signature. It works quite well. Grab it below via RCRD LBL.

Here’s Toro Y Moi’s official video for the groovy “Still Sound”. The lo-fi looking video was directed by Steven Daniels.

“We’re Happening” is the b-side that comes along with the 7″ of “Post Break-Up Sex”. It sounded so good live, it must have been tough for the band to leave it off their debut album. The band said it’s not about the band’s rise to fame though.

No worries, the band is truly happening. With strong b-sides like “We’re Happening”, it’s just more proof that these guys got the goods.

On April 26 Explosions In The Sky will release their new album Take Care, Take Care, Take Care, via Temporary Residence Ltd. It’s their first album since 2007. We can all use some more of their beautiful instrumental jams in our lives.

Here’s a clip of the band playing basketball along with some music from the new album:

They are going to be amazing New Yorkers at Radio City on April 6th. Don’t know if I can make it down, but I wish I could. I can only imagine how amazing they sound live.

At last, we finally have all the details for The Strokes new album set in stone. Solid stone. The bands 4th album is indeed titled Angles, and will come out on March 22nd via RCA Records. “Under Cover of Darkness,” , the first single from the album will hit the radio in February. I’m already counting down the days.

Check out Angles tracklist below:

1. Machu Picchu
2. Under Cover of Darkness
3. Two Kinds of Happiness
4. You’re So Right
5. Taken For A Fool
6. Games
7. Call Me Back
8. Gratisfaction
9. Metabolism
10. Life Is Simple In The Moonlight

I can’t believe this is finally happening. All we need is some NYC tour dates and my Strokes happiness will be complete.

If you head to amazon right now you can listen to 30 second samples of each song from Bright Eyes new album The People’s Key.

Be quick because sometimes these get taken down fast.

Cat’s Eyes in the new project of Faris Badwan, The Horrors lead singer/frontman. He teams up with Canadian opera soprano and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira to create something very different from The Horrors. If you don’t believe me, then get this: Pitchfork reports they played their first show during afternoon mass at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.

On February 28th their debut EP Broken Glass will be released via Polydor. Their self titled debut LP will come out on April 11th in the UK from the same label. It will be released in the US on May 3 via Cooperative Music/Downtown.

Below you can watch a live version of their song “”I Knew It Was Over” that they performed that day. I’m amazed at how lovely it is:

Here’s a free download of “Not A Friend” that the band is offering. Sounds like a mix of Beach Boys and Little Joy.

After hearing these two songs, I’m sold. This project is a really nice surprise. Sounds like these two have created something really pretty and unexpected.

Kanye West just tweeted that his new album will be out this summer. This is just a few short months since the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He says he’s in the studio now watching the Bears/Packers game. He also tweeted that Watch The Throne will be out in two months, plus a music video for “All Of The Lights” out in one week.

Here are the official tweets:

Not a lot of turn around time since his last album, but when you’re on fire, why slow down. Keep the momentum going. That’s exactly what Kanye plans on doing. We will all wait impatiently wondering what else he will give us.
