Eulogies come across as a simple band who make simple (which, mind you, is not synonymous with “bad” or “boring”) songs with a heavy message. According to lead singer, Peter Walker, “Eulogies for me is not about talking about someone who’s dead. It’s saying those things that someone would say only at that moment but [...]

Metric’s new video for “Gimme Sympathy” is a pain in the ass to explain– but it’s also really cool. Let me put it this way: if you’ve ever believed that the members of Metric have X-Men-style shape-shifting powers in which the drummer, Joules Scott-Key, can morph himself into lead singer Emily Haines as soon as [...]

We know you want it. Some of you have asked us about it. A lot of you have found your way to us after a Google search for it. We get it: you’re tapping a vein for the cover art of Paper Route‘s debut album, Absence.
Well, today is your lucky day.
Ready?
Go!

(Fitting, right? Get it? Absence?)

Val Emmich is no stranger to the benefits of posting his videos on the Internet. During the promotion of Little Daggers, he previewed each track from the album with a different mini-music video. The results proved that the guy:

I’d rather die than try to keep her by my side.
Maybe sometimes all we need to get inspired is a change of pace, a different point of view. Took a road trip with my roommate to Charleston on Friday. Eight and a half hours = a lot of music. He drives a stick so I [...]

We didn’t go to SXSW. If you’re let down, we apologize. But even without attending the festivities ourselves, we certainly have a bit of a SXSW hangover. If you follow a healthy amount of musicians on Twitter, the amount of #sxsw hash tags would’ve made you go cross-eyed. However the worst hangovers are always (usually?… [...]

If you generally associate folk music with sweet lyrics about lost love, new love, and puppy love, then you may not be ready for Emmy the Great or her really, um, great debut album, First Love.

I didn’t mean to fall in love with this band in a day and a half. After listening to their free EP that I downloaded from their website, I kind of got invested.

In the midst of Audioholic Media‘s neverending quest to find new music, I found Canadian singer-songwriter Matthew Barber. And by “found,” I mean the super-talented and amazing photographer, Jeremy Cowart recommended him to me. And by “recommended,” I mean he posted it as a status update on Twitter and I saw it.
