Something about a great guitar song will never go out of style. “Cruel Love” has some of those feel good vibes that can only come from a song that means anything other than feeling good. PKST (Petty, Kweller, Schwartzmans, Traster, ___ ) come on let’s get this crew together.
Ryan Traster will play his 7″ release party for “Cruel Love” on July 28th in Minneapolis, MN along with Scattered Trees. Be there.

Any little we can find about V&K is written in french so (needless to say) we don’t know much other than “Rollin” is a pretty sick electro track, in so many ways. The track is the debut single from S-Kal Records in Paris (a label created by famous French rapper La Fouine). Preview the track below and keep an eye out for more from V&K.

Cyril Hahn’s “Say My Name” remix blew us away (His “Touch My Body” edit is mint too). We can’t get enough of Cyril’s sound right now, so we did a little digging and found this ace Monica x Teebs remix from a couple months ago. Enjoy. Cyril Hahn ftw.

Ex-X Factor UK top ten finalist Aiden Grimshaw is fast becoming something to keep an ear on. The mid-tempo “Curtain Call” fills a Top 40 void that which artists ala Robbie Williams seem to have been m.i.a. with in recent years. But Aiden is much more than a new school Robbie, his music vibes with a fresh and innovative approach to pop. Armed with crossover club tracks like “Is This Love”, and a debut album dropping soon, Aiden already has given people on both sides of the Atlantic something to talk about.

We’ve been giving some rotation to the new Chapel Club tracks that recently dropped on the band’s website. While the new single “Sleep Alone” is a more instrumental departure from anything we’re used to hearing from the band, the dreamy “Scared” offers both a more discernible take on Lewis Bowman’s vocals and the band’s sound prior. The song’s playful melodies swirl and swing about in a multicolored uneasiness leaving the adolescent topic of what there is to be “Scared” of a bit more open to interpretation.

Seventeen years young Relief in Abstract producer GRANT flips some smooth Kenny G and the call-out hook from CRJ’s “Call Me Maybe” on his new Beat Tape Vol. 1. I’d love to be stuck in the elevator with my grandma when this jam comes on. She’d probably get down, of course so long as she doesn’t know the track title.

Of all the newest albums, it seems The Walkmen’s Heaven is getting the most raves in chats I’m having with friends. True, these New York dudes are in fine form this time around. A few weeks ago, I posted “Heartbreaker”, which I feel would be a strong single. “We Can’t Be Beat” leads off the album. It’s acoustic, with a soothing, inspiring melody and beautiful harmonies. Perfect for late summer nights, or early weekend mornings…or anytime for that matter. – By Bruce Rave

Somewhere in the quirky minor key atmosphere of “We Have To Talk” something conjures up a deeper emotional overtone. Retro in aesthetic, the young synth pop artist Amandine is About The Girl. She has recorded her recent material with the help of Yuksek, of whom has featured Amandine as a backing vocalist on several tracks from his Living on the Edge of Time release. Get familiar with this talent on the rise below.

Some fresh RnB sounds from Mimi trio MMC Da Click. You know Kevin would have totally kicked it to this record and some real hunnies in Home Alone if he were a cool 16 instead of throwing that lame faux party with cardboard cut-outs and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”.
