In a previous edition of our MP3 freebies I posted a song that really touched me and that proved to be a true on repeat by [tag]Kate Tucker[/tag] & the Sons of Sweden, namely the slow motioned soundtrack of Faster Then Cars. This time I’d like to put to your attention a song of at least similar beauty and musical craftsmanship, called “In The End.” The track revolves around Kate’s mellow falsettos, with a laid…
[tag]J Wells[/tag] has grown along the years into a highly respected west coast MC and producer. Word on the street went especially strong, after the young producer released his recent blunted collaboration with legendary rapper Kurupt, titled “Digital Smoke” that mainly speaks about the current state of the West Coast hip-hop. Recently though J apparently engaged into a rap battle with fellow artist Bishop Lamont, by recording and releasing “I Don’t Give A Fuck.” The…
Photo by Mocking Music If the recent shopping spree traffic had some negative affect on your jovial holiday spirit, here’s a bit of spiritual elevation from behalf, of whom has recently become to us the new indie Christmas elf, [tag]Sufjan Stevens[/tag]. Sounds Familyre just compiled a list of new interpretations of traditional Christmas carols as well as original songs, with free streams and mp3, that also includes Sufjan’s take of the classic “We Wish You…
A few days ago, a new garage rock band came to our attention, in the form of the ’60 revivalists Foxboro Hot Tubs, that apparently sprung out of nowhere and met with instant success after posting 3 tracks at their myspace. Through concise research, the band turned out to be none other then the punk meisters of [tag]Green Day[/tag], after they got exposed due to frontman’s Billie Joe Armstrong unmistakable vocals and even rhythm signature…
This thing is huge; fabulous. Queen cleans the spider webs from their instruments and they start to sing again. Wait just a minute. What could they do about Freddie. Their website announced that the band was going to release their first single in ten years a few days ago and more then that it was announced that it will be for free as well. The rock band introduces again frontman Paul Rodgers and they recorded…
Sometime earlier this morning, the zoological quartet of [tag]Animal Collective[/tag], stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank show and were gracious enough to play a few songs live for the show. Not only that, but they played a two new songs as well! Besides the fan favorite “Doggy” from Campire Songs and the psychedelic “Hey Light,” from Here Comes The Indian, the band also premiered two never before heard tracks as well. These are…
The product of a merger between two local New York bands, The Mercenary Gang and Del Black Aloha, The Vandelles have made a name for themselves, thanks to their experimental distortions and harmonies, as Noir Rock’s new generation spearhead. Recently I’ve had the pleasure to sample their latest self titled EP [via Safranin Sound] and I can say that I’m particularly impressed. Their sound resembles The Jesus and Mary Chain and Danish duo The Ravonettes,…
I just recently came across a really interesting Florida based indie band, going by the name of The Oaks. It was founded by drummer Matthew Antolick and guitarist/songwriter Ryan Costello. The later has been living a, some may say, thrilling and risky life in the past years, after he sold everything he owned and moved to Afghanistan for the next two years (this was from 2003-2005), where he thought agricultural techniques and directly participating in…
Originally from Ohio, singer-songwriter Kate Tucker made her way to Seattle where she met the musicians who would later become her band of Swedes. She’s a balladeer considered by many in the Suzanne Vega, Neko Case and Tracy Chapman mold. I’d say these are flattering comparisons, considering her debut self titled album, has just been released; a confident collection of multi-textured and colorful rock based songs full of acoustically intimate, moodily atmospheric tracks. The album…
Considered a true southern rap pioneer, Atlanta’s own Witchdoctor aka Eric Johnson, is set to release his latest record: “The Diary of an American Witchdoctor”, the spiritual rapper’s prolific collection of songs ranging from street life to the greatness of God. “The Best Year” is one of the album’s highlight, a upbeat song in the Down South funk tradition, which although doesn’t feature any moving lyrics, like he accustomed us with his previous work, it’s…
