NEW MUSIC: GHOST BEACH - BEEN THERE BEFORE

[Your Name Here]Comment

It's that time again!  Ghost Beach have released another single today - "Been There Before" - and it seems to keep getting better for this New York synth pop duo!  I have been following their single releases for about a year now, and each one is a perfect example of fun tropical pop that is dance floor delicious!   And talk about a great live show - Ghost Beach killed it at my 2012 SXSW showcase...and I have been waiting for them to hit the west coast!

You can download this new track RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW for free.....thanks guys!

NEW VIDEO: SPECTOR - NEVER FADE AWAY

[Your Name Here]Comment

One of the most anticipated albums of 2012, for me, comes from this little London band called Spector!  You may have seen them at Coachella or any number of UK festivals this summer - I saw them at The Satellite in LA and it was AWESOME!  They have a new video out for single "Never Fade Away" - and it's really great, they are great, the song is great.....fucking GREAT!

Debut album Enjoy It While It Lasts drops August 13 and you can pre-order RIGHT HERE!!!!!

NEW MUSIC: MYPET - PAYS TO KNOW

[Your Name Here]Comment

Los Angeles, I knew you had it in you!!  Really...to produce a band that sounds like this is rare, but from time to time is does happen!  Holy shit - check out this new music from MYPET - it's new and it's really fucking sexy!  Looks like they are joining the Luv Luv Luv Records family, and this is a good thing!!

NEW MUSIC: PRISMS - FOR I HAVE SINNED

[Your Name Here]Comment

Lets keep the awesome dark wave sound going...shall we??  Know what's nice about having friends in awesome bands??  They play shows with other awesome bands and then I have new music to talk about!  PRISMS - well...they are from Brimingham, UK and they just played a show with my biggest UK crush band Mafia Lights...which is why I decided to check them out!

I really like this song "For I have Sinned" - it has a great feeling and the chorus is amazing!  However, I think if this band hooks up with the right producer they could be bad ass....I think the vocals were mixed a but flat and need more sparkle....but maybe that's just me being spoiled with my boss being the guy who mixes Trent Reznor's soundtracks.....

I digress - it's good shit and has some great potential! You can download their Creator EP HERE and I am really looking forward to seeing what's next...
