// THE 1975 // ARE BACK //

Hailing from Manchester, UK, The 1975 can be described as a dark and youthful band mixed with elements of sex, love, fear and Alt-rock Their newest single UGH is a bitter different from their previous body of work but still carries the same undertones as the full length self titled release dating back to September 2013. I am a really big fan of this track because the lyrics, melody and video are all fascinating.

The 1975's 1st album hit #1 on UK charts and #28 in the US, thereby erasing any doubts of the band's legitimacy. This deep cut, Robbers, is my favorite from their debut release. Give them a listen and lookout for their 2nd album titled "I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It" that is set to be released on the 26th February 2016.  Get it using the link below!

Teenage Tide

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is not a new band but somehow I have only just now discovered them...  The band formed in L.A. back in 2006 and got to Austin as fast as they could. They released their 1st (self titled) album in October 2009. Letting Up Despite Great Faults band is best described as dreamy Indie & I instantly feel in love with their sound. I think you will too, click here to give "Teenage Tide" a listen and see why they were a breakout at the SXSW Festival.

Questionable name, awesome song: Donkeyboy Lost

Today we venture into the Nordic Indie scene and uncover Noway's Donkeyboy with their smash hit "LOST"

There is not a really a great way to describe this song and video other than you will be in a better mood after listening to it!!! This song is great and I found myself replaying it a couple of times...  The video is pretty weird so brace yourself for that (aka AWESOME)

Give "LOST" a listen HERE and be sure to pick up the vinyl here...

I just had to post one more Modest Mouse video - Coyotes

This one is too cool not to share!  Amazing video and fantastic track!  Such a cool concept... the coyote looks pretty spooked at first but settles right in on this Portland MAX train.  Sit back and give it a listen!  Need to make a trip out to Portland for the beer, awesome people, great sights and the coyotes....
