NEW VIDEO: HOORAY FOR EARTH - NO LOVE

[Your Name Here]Comment

Hooray for Earth released a new video today for their song "No Love" - claiming it was leaked early!   This is never fun for any artist because then you are just forced to put it out, and any plan they had for using it for promo is shot, and they probably spent a lot of their own money making it, and people who leak things suck!

Hooray for Earth is a great band and this is a great song!   I highly suggest catching a live show from this band!   They were in my top 5 bands for 2011!!

NEW MUSIC: HUNDRED IN THE HANDS - KEEP IT LOW

[Your Name Here]Comment

The Hundred In The Hands has announced the upcoming release of the “Keep It Low” single from their upcoming album, RED NIGHT.   The 12” single is due out May 28 via Warp Records and will include an original B-side, “Mountains” and remixes from Andy Stott, Pattern, and JD Twitch of Optimo who supplies two reworks.   The anthemic “Keep it Low” has a driving rhythm that underpins Eleanore Everdell’s seductive and wistful vocal turn and Jason Friedman's echoing guitars and spiraling atmospherics building the song from its melancholy beginning to a fever pitch.

Enjoy!

NEW MUSIC: HARPER BLYNN - BUSY HANDS (FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD)

[Your Name Here]Comment

It's one hot weekend, and I have to say I am very happy to be sitting in my airconditioned studio with my dog rather than being at Coachella!!   102 degrees at Coachella yeaterday, and I think it is going to be hoter today....no thank you!   I am also very happy because last week Harber Blynn released their new album called Busy Hands - which is literally music to my ears!

You can download the record for free right now....RIGHT HERE

I was first introduced to this band through a friends friend....I needed a band in LA to play a show with only a few days notice, and was told that Harber Blynn were amazing live and I should book them.   It was all true, they came, they played, and I was very impressed!!   I even booked them for my SXSW showcase after that - that good kids!

This band appeals to my softer side of rock - think The Temper Trap, Travis, Snow Patrol....that relm!! Pete Harper and J. Blynn can fucking sing...no joke....and the band as a whole are amazing musicians and incredible guys who I am happy to now call my friends!

They don't all have to be electro rock bands from the UK for me to love!! ;-)
