Nashville – Born out of the minds of Joshua Rawlings, Dylan Wayman, Stephan Gubanov, and Sebastian “Seabass” Barnum in 2012, New Wave Rebellion is more than thrilled to announce that their first album, Transmogrification, was released on March 31st. The title track off the album just happens to be the introductory song – and it
Nashville – It’s not often that I listen to a pop song, let alone an album, and like it on the first listen. It typically takes me hearing the song (either willing or forcibly by a friend) several times over for me to even begin to slightly enjoy it. The moment I began to play
Los Angeles – S. Carey, a one-man project of Bon Iver drummer Sean Carey, released a new album “Range of Light” through Jagjaguwar on April 1, 2014.

New York – Amid the sea of lo-fi, guitar-glossed beach wave genres that rose to popularity within the last decade, Real Estate is a group with a sound that soars above the rest. With melodies that amble with calm grace, these artists have always offered us something worth ruminating to. The cornerstone of their sound
Nashville - Charlie Oxford is out to break the mold. His debut self-titled album, released on March 11 on Rock Ridge Music, has stunning mixtures of rock, pop, jazz and a dash of classical that surprisingly work beautifully together.

New York – Metronomy is an outfit that produces timeless electronica, a seemingly impossible feat in our time. The group’s name is a repurposing of the device that measures tempo, and Metronomy’s sound follows an identical algorithm. With liberal electronic transgressions, this is a group that modifies strict technique boldly. Their work at large is
Seattle – Since it was a Spice Girls CD Karen Marie Ørsted received at the age of 10 that would encourage her to pursue music, it is only apropos that she would cover a song by the UK girl group. With her immensely catchy rendition of “Say You’ll Be There” making the rounds last month,
