Summer I can smell you! Brothertiger is your answer to a heatwave, bring out the lemonade and top it off with a little vodka, summer dance season starts now!

it’s been too long — so psyched for the return.

It still won’t sink in.

Where is my trash can boyfriend? One of my favorite bands are at it again with the too cute for you attitude we’ve all come to adore. Be sure to check out their latest album “Love at the Bottom of the Sea”.

Ana Lola Roman is going to fuck up your life, good! Throw some Little Dragon, Yoko Ono, and Siouxsie Sioux in a cauldron and you got yourself a potion ready to destroy everything in sight. Her ‘Keep It Mellow’ EP came out last month and the three songs pack a punch. The song for download is the title track and it’s nothing short of 80′s industrial anti-godliness that could resurrect the famous Bat Cave in NY. My favorite track is “No Architect” and if it doesn’t get you drawing the curtains on the dance floor I don’t know what will. If you get that reference you are a creature of the dark side. I also included a fun video for all of your drug needs. You are welcome!

Ana Lola Roman- “Keep It Mellow”

Oslo champions Philco Fiction are here and they’re sticking around. Reminds me of our carefree days in the early 2000′s, hip and packing a punch they are definitely a band to watch out for. Give me Philco Fiction or give me death.

World’s End Press are back with a new single! Just released today and another small tease to the long awaited album of 2012. These guys sure know how to make a girl wait! Beautiful and gentle, this disco track will get the shyest and most prude guido in the ballroom on the dance floor. Take your time boys, we have all the time in the world to wait for perfection.

Sometimes I’m itching for rock ‘n’ roll like heroin, “How to Start a Revolution” is that fix that I needed. Some Velvet Morning has a new album coming out today and if it is anything like this then expect the riot gear look on the dance floor.

‘Gloom’ is coming really really soon, preorders begin next week! Even darker than the last album, this will make all your nightmares come true. Pull out the ouija board, demons are on drums, goblins on synths, and Dez and Vee on vox. Gloom has all of your séance needs covered.

Gaga owes everything to this.

We were going to change the world. And we did.

Electroclash 2012.

It’s almost time for the full release, we couldn’t be any happier.

ninety four was a good year.

Few get me out of hiding…

Where are you going with this? I’m confused. Are you going ambient on me?

New album out on May 29th in the US. I can’t wait. I was absolutely obsessed with the last album, and although this seems like less of a dance floor ready album I can honestly say I don’t care. I love her voice and there’s nothing like a summer album to sing a long to. Bring it on!

Well the rock and blues The Gossip we know is non existent, but thats why they dropped the The, new sound new band. I’m definitely not opposed. Here’s their new single “Perfect World”, less Tina Turner and more Stevie Nicks, but I’m all over it! New album coming soon!

Penguin Prison are on tour with Miiike Snow and if you haven’t caught them lately you should go check them out! With the voice that can make any teenage girl swoon it’s no doubt panties will be flying. Their latest single ”Multi-Millionaire”, which you can listen to below has a little Prince vibe to it that we can definitely groove to.

What better way to celebrate their current tour and single release than with an awesome contest?! We’re giving away a Penguin Prison prize package which includes a vinyl record, an autographed CD, a Penguin Prison flash drive, and an exclusive music download!!! To play all you have to do is send me an email at [email protected] and tell me why you want this prize package sooooo damn bad! Contest ends on April 14th!

Van She are back and they have a new album coming out titled ‘Idea of Happiness’, coming out July 10th in the states. It’s about damn time! Here’s their new video to a really promising album.

Spain’s Cut Your Hair has arrived. Their new single “Utah in Pictures” is absolutely brilliant and adorable, indie pop at its finest. Just signed to Delorean’s ‘Mushroom Pillow’ label these cute and bouncy Catalan boys are bound to go places, and I’m following close behind. I’m thinking they named the band after the Pavement song and I can kind of hear some influence. Hurray to the 90′s pop grunge sound coming back!

You know we rarely stay off the music subject, actually maybe two times since we started but this is a cause that we think is great. You all love Toms shoes and what they do right? Well they are doing One Day Without Shoes again this year and we jumped in! Click on the link to learn some more.

As most of you don’t know both of us here at BigStereo actually help people by day in the Social Services field, and then give you all something to listen to at night. We both work with our communities to help those in need, and it is a passion we both hold dear to our hearts. Companies like Toms are doing things on a larger scale and we really hope everyone can give a little back to this planet that we love so much. Learn more about what they are doing with their new Eyewear campaign as well, it’s really awesome and the glasses are pretty damn cool.
