About a year ago we invited Diamond Rings to stop by and perform some of his songs for our freshly minted session series. And so, the man himself soon visited Feliz hts. during a brief west coast stint with Twin Shadow for a close and personal look at the songwriting behind the artist. Armed with just his 6-string, John O shared “It’s Not My Party” and a rad rendition of “Wait and See,” performed on the fire escape right outside of our window. Camera acrobatics and all, we captured the moment!
Check out this exclusive and previously unreleased performance footage from Diamond Rings below, and be sure to mark you calendars for his new full length Free Dimensional dropping this October.

Give this a spin. Just when you think things couldn’t possibly get any hotter, a blistering heater of a sax solo blows your mind at around 3:20. That’s a real “Summersweat” for you, so hot that it only gets hotter. If you’re into Winnipeg collective Royal Canoe then be sure to pick up their new Purple and Gold release. We promise it’s well worth your next available 18 minutes. Also, if you’re located in SoCal, catch the band performing at The Satellite in Silverlake, Los Angeles this Saturday night (9/22).

Well fed psychedelia here from a new Copenhagen group known as The Wands. This blahblah-blow track has been a serious fever to our speakers as of late. The band’s debut EP is scheduled to drop early November. Be sure to stay tuned for more “magic” to come on The Wands.

Couple of tones we’re liking in the latest we’ve heard from Idles. Mostly it offers up something we’ve been missing from songs (in general) in a while, some balls.

Something new from Dog is Dead’s anticipated debut album All Our Favourite Stories. We’ve been on double Ds for a minute, and then “Get Low” comes along to really set this crew apart from the crowd. Grab it 10/8.
