Moonlight Bride were an act on our must see list for SXSW this year. Of course general live festival chaos took its course, schedules crissed and crossed every which direction, etc, etc and we missed the band’s one set, that we knew of. (PS if you were there hit us up because we need to know how it was!) Fortunately the band have released a new remix collection of their Twin Lakes EP to remind us of what we missed. A standout from the collection is this expansive version of “Drug Crimes” produced by the Machines Are People Too team. Give it a looky below.

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.

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.

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

The lo-fi treble on “Where Are We Now” will blast through your veins and clot up your throat. The track offers up a ruckus hiss of genuine garage rock and pop sentiment from the young LA based trio Wake Up Lucid. “Where Are We Now” is previewed from the band’s forthcoming and debut LP titled Feel It which sees release on August 7. Give it a spin below.

New music from Blur is always cause to celebrate! Today the band released some lyric based visuals for two new tracks “The Puritan” and “Under the Westway”. Both tracks have had some much lauded over live performance exposure so they’re not TOTALLY NEW but today does mark our first taste of the full studio versions. Blur will be playing a few warm up dates (if you’re near where they’re performing, you already know) in the lead in to their anticipated Hyde Park gig on August 12th. Blur 21: The Box will be released on July 30, 2012.

In anticipation of their Lilith EP coming out next weekend, Indigo Joseph have released the new single “In Memoriam” for our listening pleasure. It starts off soulful and deep, but turns up the funk as the song progresses. Indigo Joseph have been owning the local music scene in Regina, Canada for the past year and are ready to show the rest of the continent their unique breed of indie music. They call themselves blues-rock meets folk-funk, but basically they are indescribable until you have seen them live, and even then sometimes you are left without words. By Jon Herriot

What might that Richards/Taylor guitar work on “Gimme Shelter” look like if it lurked in the night as some sort of docile pill induced zombie? Moments in The Raveonettes new single “Observations” feel harmoniously possessed by the iconic track’s six string weepiness. The song, from The Raveonettes forthcoming and sixth studio album Observator premiered today on Rolling Stone, and has a certain duality in addition that soul chilling pocket the band explore so well. Hat tips to the Danish duo yet again.

The 1975 have developed an identifiable and forward thinking cast of Manchester indie rock. The band, aka T H E S L O W D O W N and B I G S L E E P within the last year or so, will be releasing a debut EP Facedown under The 1975 guise. Rightfully, the crew have attracted some noteworthy love from the blogosphere and tastemaker radio, and their track “Sex” is easily one of our fave of 2011. Pick up a copy of their Facedown EP August 6th and preview “The City” from the forthcoming below.
