San Francisco – Usually, crowded shows are not my cup of tea. As someone who likes to hang in the back of the venue, a sold out show does not offer the same sort of space than that of a less populated one, even when hugging the wall along the side or leaning against a pillar towards
San Francisco – It’s not always easy to pick apart an album. Even those that seem more straightforward seem to guard some concealed meaning within the confines of the hour or so an artist or band is given to express themselves, but when given an album by a group that is so notoriously and deliciously abstract as Brooklyn’s
New York – U.K. band Fickle Friends – whom some say is one of the hardest working bands in the indie world right now, having played 31 music festivals in 2015 - has a new music video featuring the band’s lush ‘80s-inspired indie-pop.

Los Angeles – Lukas Graham just performed global breakout hit ”7 Years” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. The lead single from the self-titled debut album – out this Friday, April 1 via Warner Bros. Records – “7 Years” is now #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, charting at 6 radio formats (including Top 5 at Hot AC and approaching the Top 10 at Top 40), and remains a

Glasgow - Scottish band WHITE recently set out to tour the U.K., with photographer Martin D Barker along for the ride. Together they documented the journey for Best New Bands.
