I usually filter out most of the indie rock that lands in my inbox because there about five billion blogs out there already doing that. Often it doesn’t really hold much interest either. But I can’t let Scanners slip by without posting something up.
In Scanners’ “Lowlife”, singer Sarah Dailey sings with a sense of urgency [...]

When I think remixes of Spank Rock I think - typical. They all seem so prescribed. But, but, but. Audioporno’s remix of “Far Left” is anything but typical. Audioporno strips away the XXXchange sound that we all know and love and throws down that big marching band thing. “Far Left” ends up sounding like something [...]

Where was I when Soulwax didn’t release Nite Versions in the USA? I mean — I thought we were done with this album. I guess my favorite part about living in the USA is that all the great electronic albums take about an extra year or so to be released domestically. So by the time [...]

Word, another remix of Young Love’s “Discotech.” This track is so solid on its own that it almost doesn’t need remixes. But both Weird Science and Ocelot Mthrfckrs have pretty much proven that theory wrong. Remixed or not, this track is still not tired. I must admit that I’m a little sad that Young Love’s [...]

As of late, Teddybears have been all over the (music) blogosphere with their unique style of electro-kraut-rock. No surprise. There is something about Teddybears that is very easy to like. You know working with everybody from Iggy Pop to Mad Cobra to Annie has probably helped capture a large array of fans. Perhaps their only shortcoming [...]

I know a lot of you guys already know and love Shiny Toy Guns. And not just because Rchrd Oh?! posted their video for “Le Disko” almost a year ago. Well I’m happy to say that a year later Shiny Toy Guns is back on bigstereo… this time backed with a record deal from Universal. [...]

Woop, woop. The video for The Rapture’s funktastic “Get Myself Into It” has found its way onto YouTube. God bless YouTube. Their new album, Pieces Of The People We Love, is out September 12th. That’s like almost tomorrow.
Edit: Btw, YouTube wants every single music video ever. Ever. That’s busy.
Edit 2: Ok, so the above video [...]

Have I been living under a rock? Does like everyone already know and love Bedtime For Toys?… because there is like no way these kids aren’t huge. Or there is no reason they shouldn’t be. I guess being remixed by Le Tigre and working with Har Mar isn’t bad for the resume.
Crazy hybrid, genre bending… [...]

NYPC - “Ice Cream”
New Young Pony Club recently got the full video treatment for their classic “Ice Cream.” Listen closely nerds. I believe this is a minor edit from the 12″ version we all already know and love. So happy to see this band signed to Modular. Is it an understatement to say that we [...]

Even robots get the blues. Wolfgang is a robot with a message — Love. Hey, AI might currently be a pipe dream, and emotion is something our electronic cousins lack. But this is music! Anything can happen! Wolfgang is conceptual ep about a robot who does have emotion. When you’re programmed to emote, what is [...]
