Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes’ Alexander Ebert To Release Solo Album
If this Messiah lookalike seems familiar from somewhere other than Sunday mass, it’s because he is Alexander Ebert, the front man of indie phenomenon Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.
Calling The Zeros an ensemble would be an understatement; they basically consume the stage with their ten mate group. In addition to touring with the band, [...]

Freelance Whales Announce Tour
If you’re interested in the Freelance Whales touring schedule, they have announced their plans for this spring. The band have also been releasing tracks on Green Label Sound which can be downloaded for free.

BRAIDS Release Video For “Plath Heart,” Announce Tour
Proving to be one of the year’s most anticipated indie acts, BRAIDS have already made a name for themselves on the Billboard charts with their debut album Native Speaker. The hype quickly formed around their first single, “Lemonade,” and it hasn’t really slowed down since.
As mysterious as the lyrics throughout Native Speaker are, Blair [...]
Toro Y Moi Premieres Video For “Still Sound”
When Toro Y Moi signed to Carpark Records, there was talk of two albums for release in 2010: one with electronic sounds and one with live instrumentation. Whatever. We don’t hold grudges. The upcoming album, Underneath The Pine, releases February 22nd and gives us that live part of Toro Y Moi we were deprived of.
The [...]
Noah and the Whale To Release Last Night On Earth
Since we last heard what The Last Days of Spring had to offer, it seems like Noah and the Whale abandoned all the depressing and lovelorn lyrics this time around and are putting on a completely different game face for their new album, Last Night On Earth.
Still a project from the mind of lead [...]
Band of Horses Premiere Video for “Dilly”
The brand new Band of Horses video, “Dilly,” was directed by Phillip Andelman and is a little reminiscent of ’70s biker flicks. According to guitarist/vocalist Ben Bridwell, “[Dilly] capture[s] the essence of what a day in our personal lives is actually like.” Really? Where do we sign up for that?
Though the farthest [...]
BRAIDS Premiere “Lemonade” Single
BRAIDS will be releasing Native Speaker January 18th, 2011. In the meantime though, the band officially released the track, “Lemonade.” (The one you probably played out on the MySpace Music Player.) Now you can take that little gem with you wherever you go! The track. Not MySpace.
Preview: “Lemonade”
First Impression: Appropriate indie-pop without an obvious and [...]
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Release New Single and Tour Dates
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have had a busy year after the release of their debut album last February. After some non-stop touring and diligent work in the studio, the band are getting ready to rinse and repeat.
“Heart In Your Heartbreak” is the latest release and is a great indication of what style [...]
Local Natives Release Video For “Who Knows Who Cares”
Right before Local Natives wrap up their U.S. tour and retreat into the studio to work on their new album (as if anyone would believe you could get tired of replaying Gorilla Manor), the band leave you with this brand new video for “Who Knows Who Cares.”
If you like calming melodies, flawless harmonizing, food fights [...]
