Blitzen Trapper Stream American Goldwing, Announce Tour
Blitzen Trapper‘s new album is one worth sharing with your parents. Recalling the fuzzy guitars and heavy drums of ’70s americana, American Goldwing (Sub Pop) is a better example of classic rock than the music you’ll hear on your local classic rock radio station, and from now and through the next two weeks, you can [...]

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.

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.)
