Brass Bed - Melt White



Sunshine, sarcastic, and sullen, Brass Bed are a quartet of wide-eyed pop dreamers rifling through record bins and churning out recordings that double as rock and roll history lessons. Born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, their music elevates the unrestrained power pop of Big Star and the guitar heroics of Television with the 60’s pop revivalism of bands like Dukes of the Stratosphear and the Elephant 6 collective. Their songs speak with a voice that is both thoroughly modern and reverent of the past.

From this wealth of musical wisdom comes their new LP Melt White, presenting 11 sonic adventures. Recorded in Austin, TX with Danny Reisch at Cacophony Recorders and Good Danny’s studios, this album presents the potent live Brass Bed sound on tracks like “Pop Mission” and “Bums On The Radio” and studio playfulness of their home recordings on “Aria” and “God Save The Thieves”. Performances with the likes of The Walkmen, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Oakley Hall, Here We Go Magic, and Elf Power have established Brass Bed as a rising regional act with an unforgettable live show. Melt White drops on Park the Van Records in the Fall of 2010, melting faces and leaving a burning trail of psychedelic destruction in its path.

The Amplifetes - Whizz Kid + It's My Life



Another very interesting Swedish band coming up on the scene. Definitely bringing a little more pop than anything you'll hear from Miike Snow, but equally as talented. The Amplifetes, named after the first Finnish beauty queen Doris Ampfliete, are a 4 piece who have come together over the last year after working with each other off and on throughout thier individual careers. Also, they bring experience from working with incredible artists like Madonna, Grand Master Flash, and Peter Bjorn and John as well as influences like The Electric Light Orchestra, The Ramones, Elvis Costello, and David Bowie. 

The Whizz Kid EP is out now and they're even letting us give these tracks away for free for the first time! 2 original tracks as well as 2 remixes of 'Whizz Kid' from Blende and The Amplifetes' own Big Beat remix.

Robot Disaster - The New Campaign for More Sound



The epic B-Side to Robot Disaster's forthcoming single 'Electric Shocks'. By epic, I mean: "takes you on a high energy, quick-fire stomp through a semi-fictional landscape of sound waves (and sound monsters)". Yeah. They also have a "Live & Direct" EP coming out soon.

Symphonies - Dan Black (feat Kid Cudi)


 

My apologies to my fellow audiophiles. I haven't had much free time during the past week and therefore haven't been posting as much. No worries, I'm still here and rockin the tunes for ya. This is one that I defintely can't let you miss. Dan Black is one of many great artist on The:Hours record label. He's getting a lot of good press and it all says he's going to blow up this year. His single 'Symphonies' has been hugely popular already and now Kid Cudi joins up and lays down a verse to make this a sure number one for radio. the full single comes out later this spring as well as the U.S. release of Dan Black's album ((Un)).
