Brand New are really good about keeping their fans in anticipation. They say that good things come to those who wait. Well the fans have waited long enough, and Brand New are not only releasing their new full-length album, Daisy, they are also going on a kick-ass tour to celebrate its arrival.

WHY?: A group of Cincinnati natives who integrate a variety of sound for your listening pleasure. This band’s lyrics sting just as much as their melodies.

Last Friday might have been one of the only nights you needed to watch Jimmy Fallon. It’s hard to sit through the entire show but the payoff is good at the end (but then again, that’s what TiVo is for). The Dead Weather capped the night off with a stellar performance of their latest single [...]

It’s always good to put a name with a face. In this case, it’s good to put a video with the music. Until now there hasn’t been an official video for any of the tracks on Ocean Eyes. Last week we mentioned the free download of Owl City’s track “Fireflies” on iTunes. If you took [...]
