Erin MaherComment

It seems the only French electronic duo people are talking about these days are Daft Punk - but I have found some newcomers that are going to dazzle you with with their sexy dance pop goodness!  Juveniles are here and one hundred percent would like you to have a dance party!  They will be releasing their new single "Strangers" on May 20 with a few remixes to go along, and then a full length sometime this summer!  The Black and White Diamond Tiles - AKA my angels Dan McIlvenny and Adam Ainger from the UK electro-rock band Breton - have produced a great remix, which you can grab here as a free download!   ​

Los Angeles-based band Kiven have released a video for their hit single, "Hope & Smoke."  Directed by Edwin Eversole and Jack Murgatroyd at Hunt House Pictures, LLC., the video features the band adrift in an ocean, the beautiful visuals melding perfectly with the melody and musicality of the song.  Made up of Tyler Demorest, Danny Schnair, Matt Cohen and Jake Reed, Kiven's diverse musical influences come from a wide array of musical and artistic spectrums, before being blended together for the unique and personal sound demonstrated in their latest video.

Named by Entertainment Weekly as the #2 "Great Indie Discovery" from CMJ 2012, Kiven recently wrapped up a west coast tour culminating in several buzzworthy SXSW showcases - including our very own Beautiful Buzzz showcase!! 

NEW VIDEO: KISSAWAY TRAIL - NORREBRO

Erin MaherComment

Today, Kissaway Trail offer their official music video for their brand new single "Nørrebro."  The video captures the intimacy between band mates Thomas, Hasse and Søren as well as the emphasis they place on their roots by showcasing the town that serves as the track’s namesake.  In a response to a recent interview question about the idea behind the video, Thomas Fagurlund responds saying, “Nørrebro has meant a great deal to me for the last three years of my life.  I wanna show everyone all the places I've spent my time and all the people that made me who I am today.”  Warm and emotionally charged, the tale told through video and song of finding ones place while avoiding temptation showcases the sincerity and passion driving Kissaway Trail.

Hailing from Odense, Denmark, the band’s brand new Life is a B-side EP will come out on May 28 via Yep Roc Records and later, on August 20, their full album Breach is planned. 

NEW VIDEO: EXPLORERS - ALICIA

Erin MaherComment

So happy to see something new from Sheffield, England's electro-pop band Explorers.  I stumbled upon their track "City Lights" last year and immediately bought their Souvenirs EP - and then made my friends buy it as well because IT RULES!  They have just released a new track called "Alicia" along with space themed some what of a love story video that I think is just great!  Their new EP will be out later this year and I see great things for Explorers in the future.  Love them!      

NEW VIDEO: PVT - HOMOSAPIEN

Erin MaherComment

People - there is so much amazing and inspiring new music in the world that is like mind blowing good!  Turn off top 40 radio for 5 minutes a day, and forget about your Red Hot Chili Peppers or Of Monsters and Men, and listen to really great cutting edge music!  I swear it will make you smarter.  Australian band PVT are one of these bands that totally rock my world, and I want them to rock yours too.  PVT - much like The Darcys and Memomena - turn conventional rock songs into unconventional masterpieces.  I wish my brain worked like their music sounds - it's so brilliant!  Check out PVT's new video for single "Homosapien" and gain a few IQ points!  ​

NEW VIDEO: NONONO - PUMPIN BLOOD

Erin MaherComment

Sweden is back in action!  One of my new band crushes are Stockholm based electro pop band NONONO - and yes, they are pretty amazing.  Forming less than a year ago, NONONO are already on their way to greatness; they are currently working on their first full length album, and last month dropped this crazy good single "Pumpin Blood" with a video to boot!  This video makes me long to be back in Sweden, in the little toen of Ornskoldsvik where some of my best friends in the world live!  When I am in Sweden, I am just like this guy in the video, not so much the part of running with a rabbit - the dancing part kids!  NONONO will be to the states before you know it, so keep a look out for new music and tour dates!  ​
