RACES To Release Big Broom EP
RACES (formerly known as Black Jesus) are getting ready for a full length debut next year, but in the meantime, the band give us a taste with their upcoming EP Big Broom.
The EP will have three tracks and releases November 15th via Frenchkiss Records. RACES definitely have a ’90s feel to them but aren’t [...]
Prussia Release Part Three of Poor English
Detroit band Prussia have been releasing 10″ vinyls over the last three months to complete the Poor English series. The final installment releases tomorrow on October 18th and will be available for a free stream and download.
The series is lyrically eccentric to say the least. Combine that with the distinct and elaborate sound the band [...]
Butch Walker, Author of Drinking With Strangers: Music Lessons From A Teenage Bullet Belt
Unless your favorite musician is writing about a heroin addiction or exposing personal journal entries, there’s no reason to actually read what he or she has to say, right? Wrong. Butch Walker, your bi-coastal neighborhood singer/songwriter/producer (and now author), is bringing you a little more than just his Tumblr to read. Drinking With Strangers: Music [...]
Hear New BRAIDS Track “Peach Wedding”
We need more BRAIDS. Native Speaker was great, but there just needs to be a little more. Good thing the band will be joining Purity Ring to release a limited edition split 7″ via Fat Possum on October 10th. This limited edition can only be acquired through one of both bands on their North American [...]

One sign of life that Neon Indian has [...]
Stream The Antlers’ Burst Apart
With May approaching, the followup to Hospice is right around the corner. We filled you in on The Antlers and their upcoming album Burst Apart when we saw them play it live in its entirety at this year’s SXSW. It lacked the cohesiveness we all adored in Hospice, but then again, that’s the concept of [...]
YAWN Announce Tour And Prepare For Upcoming Album
Chicago’s YAWN, a band with a DIY work ethic, sound like they haven’t been doing it alone. But that’s the point, right? After their EP, YAWN, pushed them to the front of the Fader Fort showcase for SXSW 2010, and it’s been a stream of word of mouth since. (And people are talking.)
The tunes [...]
Cymbals Eat Guitars Sign to Barsuk Records and Prep for Sophomore Album
After self-releasing their debut album Why There Are Mountains in 2009, Cymbals Eat Guitars are getting ready to do it again. This time around, the band will be signing to Barsuk Records to record their sophomore album.
As soon as they release their upcoming tour schedule, you’ll be able to drown yourself in as much live [...]
BRAIDS Play SXSW and Extend Tour
It felt like just a few months ago, if anyone uttered the word BRAIDS, it had something to do with little girls and pigtails. The band BRAIDS (not the pigtails) have recently changed all of that and made a pretty impressive imprint in the indie scene.
With SXSW approaching, the number of shows a band [...]
