Y’all tired of trap yet? Well, if the answer to that is “Yes”. Baauer’s remix of should be enough to flip that and possibly even recall the heady days of Summer 2012 when Trap was king and the world existed in the right order. If you answered “No”, then you’re a weirdo degenerate and we’re cool with that.

If you have any sort of affinity towards the brilliance of rock music in the early-mid 90s then you can’t deny “Penny Arcade” by new London collective Victor Talking Machine. These young lads certainly know their way around the last great guitar rock era, and most importantly know so with a great tune. We’re especially loving the Smashing Pumpkins style arrangements and Oasis’ Definitely Maybe tinged vocals. The psychedelic indie rock group have genuienly found themselves a recipe that’s been known to rule charts. Be sure to keep Victor Talking Machine on your radar of bands to watch for and check out the band’s debut EP Had Enough which drops this November.

“Mind Waltz” indeed. Australian primetime familiar talent Jacob Butler has unleashed a beast of a track for the AAA airwaves. Previewed here from his forthcoming 2013 Reason LP, the international songwriting award winner (Unsigned Only w/ judges including Cyndi Lauper, Robert Smith, Manchester Orchestra, Kelly Clarkson…) does an upfront job of combining his passions for the music of Elliot Smith, ‘Gallaghers’, and Angus Stone with an undeniable chorus melody.

The Melker Project shows yet again Anything Can Happen Happen this time as he smashes the popular Ellie Goulding hook with some chopped and screwed variations of the 2009 track “Twerk” by Juicy J. This track is a jam. Turn that shit up!

Welcome to Lily and the Tigers, the six-piece haunted folk band I met at a house party in Echo Park. Lead singer Casey Hood was strumming some good stuff when a skinny chick in a white dress started cranking Pit Bull on the communal iHome. I grabbed an album from Casey and bounced. It’s called Hiding ‘til Dawn, their sophomore release, and has been my folky go-to for the last couple weeks. Check out “No Whiskey in My Coffee”, and read my full-length interview with the band over at Cardboard Smile. By Alex Mitchell

Mancunian band I Am Kloot surprise with a strong return. The brooding “Hold Back the Night” excels on arrangement; just the right bits of atmospheric guitar strums and 1-2 rhythms give way at the most perfect of points to swelling string builds. (The track was produced by Elbow’s Guy Garvey and Craig Potter). “Hold Back the Night” is not to be missed.
