Muse is back. This time with a more powerful sound. How can these guys get better and better with every album? A lot of people compare them to Radiohead. I can see that, but they haven’t really ventured too far from their own sound. They didn’t go the electronic route like Radiohead did. They remain [...]

Dude, I was listening to this track tonight. Enjoying it. Then it stopped and the music continued. Really, a supersonic clicking noise continued. I walked into the living room and there was a bat hanging out under the sofa. Apparently he liked the tune too and was singing along.
Oh bats! Justice on Vice. Chromeo on [...]

Forgive me but my Puffy AmiYumi knowledge is a bit limited. They’re a cartoon? J-pop… what? Eh…
Whatever. Puffy AmiYumi’s “Call Me What You Like”, the opening track off of their newest disc Splurge, totally wins for one reason… the following lyrics: “We ain’t no Harajuku Girls. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.” Watch out for that volley, Gwen. Even though [...]

Tigarah is our newest obsession. She is definately gonna get lots of hype, and impress us with her innovative style. She comes directly from Tokyo via Rio, currently residing in Los Angeles(of course).
Being compared to M.I.A. is average for Tigarah. She is way more than that though. She doesn’t even remind me of M.I.A. She [...]

Check out Kudu’s new-ish video for “Love Me In Your Language.” Directed by PetRobot.

I always hate it when an album leaks. I’ll admit that I like having a sneak peak, but it takes a bit of the joy out of it. I love to wait, and the anticipation, and the marketing blitz, and then finally… you go to the record store on that Tuesday and whatever album you’ve been longing for is [...]

MSTRKRFT don’t really need an intro. Their signature sound has been uniting hipsters on the dance floor for a while now. And their remixes always spread like wildfire…. like from the internet to the dance floor to your little sister’s Myspace. They are the constant cool.
Whatever. I had little hope for their debut album The [...]

With MOTOR’s Klunk, Mr. No and Bryan Black bring us their first “solo” effort. Everything that I loved about Mr. No and Bryan Black’s previous project, XLOVER, is gone: Nina Rai, pop, Nina Rai, hot vocals, Nina Rai and Nina Rai.
After listening to Klunk, I have yet to be totally woo’d — Not that Klunk [...]

I don’t usually post parties on bigstereo…. especially parties I’ve never been to… but! Wtf…
From the looks of it, Ruff Club at The Annex reminds me of many nights wasted at Luxx (back in the day - HA!). Enough reason to move back to NYC?
Boys Noize will be DJing on June 23rd. Foreign Islands will [...]

Young And Restless is more proof that Australia is so hot right now… so ripe. Y&R delivers some perfect post-hardcore, dance punk… sounding something like when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were still good. You know, when Karen O wasn’t afraid to rock. Of course, with five players instead of three, Y&R has a much fuller [...]

The Gossip all over the net…
Kill Rock Stars video podcast… Watch the video for “Standing In The Way Of Control” and watch the band comment on it.
The Gossip performed on KRVX last month… check out live mp3s.
The single for “Listen Up!” is out soon with remixes by ATOC, MSTRKRFT, JD Twitch, Tronik Youth, and Arthur [...]

This is like the type of music I want to shake around and make babies to while listening on full blast. Totally unapologetic, Fierce Perm has that signature Olympia, Washington sound: like, the vocals and guitar are fighting over your heart. They will cut your soul. Not for the weak of heart, this band reminds [...]

Le Sport - “It’s Not The End Of The World”
Le Sport is hardly an insider secret, but as of late I cannot get enough of Le Sport’s “It’s Not The End Of The World”… even if the begining sounds like it is totally lifted from New Order. Perhaps that is one reason it is so [...]
