We’ve got two awesome videos for the day straight from the ZME inbox, both signed by one of the best projects of the year, Monsters of Folk. The first is the official video for “The Right Place,” filmed pretty old school in black and white, featuring the band members giving it all they have in the studio, quite fitting for the Americana vibe of the song. The second video is that of the band’s yesterday…
I used to be a huge gaming aficionado, but during these past few years something happened that dramatically diminished my interest for video games, something that to this day I’ve yet to figure out what it was. Who knows, maybe I grew up, although highly unlikely – trust me. I barely play a few times a year now, and even then a few hours with buds or at dorm LAN parties. However, this latest installment…
Violent Soho is a young punk rock/grunge outfit from Brisbane, Australia that’s been making a lot of waves recently in the scene. Now, after extensive touring in the land down under with the likes of Reptiles, Cut Off Your Hands and The Mess Hal, they’re headed for a US stint alongside iconic indie band Built to Spill and Disco Doom. The East Coast tour will feature 11 dates, starting October 8th in Ithaca, NY. Check…
If you’re into Animal Collective and college lo-fi jams, you’ll undoubtedly love Truman Peyote, a Massachusettes electro duo consisting of Eric Farber and Caleb Johannes. The two just recently released a very promising album titled “Light-Lightning” via Whitehaus Family Records, which has already sold out, so if you like what you hear, you’ll have to wait for the LP to come out. There seems to be a lot of bands popping up recently that are…
Weird, avangarde and adventurous are words that do well in describing the new Portugal. The Man video for the spacey “Do You.” ‘Nuff said! Off the new Portugal. The Man album “The Satanic Satanist” out now on Equal Vision.
Since Kanye’s epic fail VMA crashing the Internet has been soaring under various satires and parodies to his, now all too notorious, “Imma Let You Finish” routine. Moreover, if Kanye didn’t manage to produce a world class album last year, he can rest assured this year he has one of the best meme of all time. OF ALL TIME! We posted a few of our favorites a few days back – don’t eat while reading….
It seems like my bitching was heard or something (start a blog too, people. Who knows who might hear your whining and do something about it. Just kidding – don’t mind me). Either way, a few months ago I was feeling a bit dishearten about the straightforward approach St. Vincent received for her video of Actor Out Of Work, but in this latest music video for the cascading “Marrow” it’s all the other way around….
There’s been a lot of hype recently around the teen-vampire-love-story-preposterous-concept-flick New Moon, mainly the soundtrack to keep things relevant here on ZME. A few days ago, I wrote about me being surprised to see Grizzly Bear officially confirmed on the sound score for the movie, after subsequently Thom Yorke, Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver and The Killers were also announced, and how things we’re clearly shaping up towards an all indie cast. Today, we’ve…
Pearl Jam’s highly anticipated ninth studio release, “Backspacer,” is finally officially out this week, and it’s just pure goodness, folks! Don’t believe me? Check out Al’s review for a glimpse. Islands’ new record “Vapours”, their 3rd, still follows the winning formula of the band’s previous albums, but this time first time listeners might find themselves mesmerized. Beware! Last week, I told you all about my new favorite band, Girls. Well, this week their debut album,…
