Zebra Tracks – We Found A Reason to Live and We Called It God

Zebra Tracks make something fierce with face ripping rock that would probably be our best friend too if we were living through the turmoil of life in Greece nowadays. “We Found A Reason…” is something poetic to a decades (ages) old type statement.

Roane Namuh & Reva DeVito – Frozen

We love this. New duo Roane Namuh & Reva DeVito offer up something-fresh a take on RnB and soul. There’s a chemistry on their latest Cloudshine release. The album track “Frozen” is especially drenched in sultriness with a digable nod to the ’93 Top 15 (Billboard 100) “Rebirth of Slick”. Cloudshine is available to stream at their BandCamp. Give it a spin thru.

Martin Solveig – The Night Out (Live at Studio Ferber)

Martin Solveig just dropped this live 25 piece orchestra version of his smash “The Night Out”. This tune has longer legs than they make pants. Even at that we still can’t get enough.

Euros Childs – Spin That Girl Around

There’s something reborant about Welsh songwriter Euros Childs new recording of “Spin That Girl Around”. There’s a whimsical quality to it, something intoxicating that we just can’t get out of our heads. As Euros puts it “… it was bugging me that there wasn’t a studio recording of the band version, so for peace of mind I recorded this version and thought it would make a good single”. And indeed it does. You can download the track over at his site here. Also worth noting, the former Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci frontman is currently putting finishing touches on his 8th solo album Summer Special which is expected this August on his own label, National Elf.

Little Comets – Jennifer

“Jennifer” has summer jam status written all over it. Basically, you can close your eyes and have a 2:45 sunny vacay getaway (if you’re like us and you need more than 2:45 then we highly recommended the replay button). Little Comets release “Jennifer” on June 11th via Dirty Hit Records. Grab yourself a copy and catch this band on tour through the UK later this year if you can. You can also sample their ace live performance of “Jennifer” below.

Tango In The Attic – Mona Lisa Overdrive

Contributed By Nathan Hetherington

“Mona Lisa Overdrive” is Tango in the Attic’s second single from their forthcoming album, Sellotape, and comes with an accompanying video featuring footage from their time at SXSW this year. What we’ve heard so far from the new album points towards an altogether nosier, garage sound than the debut Blank Place Locomotive Society whilst hanging on firmly to their energetic pop qualities. Sellotape will be out on May 28th.

Harlan – Native Son [EP]

Contributed by Chris Gedos

harlan-native-sun

Harlan’s Native Son EP is a delightful pop carousel, one of my fav EPs as of late, with heady hooks to be enjoyed by music lovers of all ages. Per the Echo: “It has been described as Prince meets Genesis meets Shuggie Otis.” However, songs like “I Never” also show off a Nilsson Schmillson variety involving the rare juxtaposing of whimsicality and self-seriousness. Sprinklings of da Doobie Bros and Jamiroquai can be detected as well. We’re mightily stoked here @ B3SCI for his May residency at the Echo, one of the more exciting in recent memory. Harlan can hit all the notes and plays just about every instrument as well. And right when you think you’ve heard it all, there’s that desert rock guitar on the EP’s title track. Absolutely righteous!

Tom Vek – You’ll Stay

Contributed by Nathan Hetherington

tom-vek

So Tom Vek’s new video (below) takes us on an emotional journey through love and betray, all while taking in a total of 17 wheelies on a remote controlled monster truck! You’ll stay is actually another top quality tune from Vek, so if a few easy low budget videos means we don’t have to wait 5 years for another album then we’re all all for it. (Truck not listed on eBay yet, which is a shame)

This Many Boyfriends – (I Should Be A) Communist

this-many-boyfriends

Leeds based This Many Boyfriends are releasing a new Ryan Jarman (The Cribs) produced single of their song “(I Should Be A) Communist”. The tune has a catchy melody and carefree swing reminiscent of The Smiths but with a grungier lo-fi dynamic that plays to the new generation of indie rock disenfranchised. Plus “Commie” comes in towe with a pretty sweet video that stars a costumed bear attacking the band as they pretend to rock out in the park. “(I Should Be A) Communist” is expected to be release on May 21st through Angular Recording Corporation. Get it.
