Chapel Club – Sleep Alone

One of our favorite things about Chapel Club has always been the band’s obvious love for a greater vision. That being said, and even after hearing that their new material would be nearly all electronics based, “Sleep Alone” is still a complete 180 from what we’d expected, and in the most pleasant sense. Get familiar with their hot new track “Sleep Alone” below and pick up a free download of it over at the band’s Soundcloud while you can.

RUN DMT – Sugarcube (Bassnectar Remix)

This drop on repeat. Bassnectar works with “Sugarcube” from RUN DMT’s new Union of Opposites release. Pretty filthy stuff.

The Raveonettes – Observations

What might that Richards/Taylor guitar work on “Gimme Shelter” look like if it lurked in the night as some sort of docile pill induced zombie? Moments in The Raveonettes new single “Observations” feel harmoniously possessed by the iconic track’s six string weepiness. The song, from The Raveonettes forthcoming and sixth studio album Observator premiered today on Rolling Stone, and has a certain duality in addition that soul chilling pocket the band explore so well. Hat tips to the Danish duo yet again.

The 1975 – The City

The 1975 have developed an identifiable and forward thinking cast of Manchester indie rock. The band, aka T H E S L O W D O W N and B I G S L E E P within the last year or so, will be releasing a debut EP Facedown under The 1975 guise. Rightfully, the crew have attracted some noteworthy love from the blogosphere and tastemaker radio, and their track “Sex” is easily one of our fave of 2011. Pick up a copy of their Facedown EP August 6th and preview “The City” from the forthcoming below.

Coastal Cities – Relief

Fresh out of school and with plenty of promise, Coastal Cities are an unmistakably English five-piece group. Influenced by math rock, post-punk and new wave, their second single “Relief” features dancey baselines, sharp guitar hooks and a distinct hint of trampolining action. Out July 30 on Once Upon A Time Records. By Nathan Hetherington

THROWBACK SATURDAY! Sexton Blake – Hungry Heart (Bruce Springsteen)

Mid aughts, a bit around the creative incubation period of a band known as STRFKR, Josh Hodges was influenced to work on a project that he called Sexton Blake. The project consisted of his take on some of his favorite popular songs from the past. Covers ranged from ELO to Milli Vanilli and our favorite, this version of Springsteen’s 1980 Top 5 hit “Hungry Heart”. Sexton Blake Plays The Hits gets re-released for the first time on vinyl via Polyvinyl this July. Grab yourself a copy.
