The awesome Summer Camp turned an already great song, UK songstress Jodie Marie’s “On the Road”, into an absolute must listen. Jodie’s voice is incredible, little hints of trip hop and a classic country twang give it a depth and broadness that is really arresting. The melody reminds of something taken from mid 90’s alt rock radio, like one of those big anthemic “Black Hole Sun” sort of songs. Amazing.

Alex Clare, one of the dopest artists in any genre right now, recently cut this gripping (and we don’t use that word lightly) cover of “Damn Your Eyes”, a tune made famous by the legendary Etta James. It’s rare to hear an Etta song done so well, let alone by a male voice. Do not miss this one.

According to Wale, “Lotus Flower Bomb” is the first official, real, actual Ambition track to be leaked to the interwebs. The smooth, “call up your girlfriend cause its gonna be a special night” track is all sorts of major radio hit material. R&B dude Miguel Jontel hooks up an easy, sticky, stays-in-your-head type hook to complement Wale’s choice focused bars. Wale sounds focused. He sounds ready. Ambition is due November 1st.

The stunning “Push It” is new from UK dance act Duologue. “Push It” is the sound of a band in transition. Formerly of a more electronic extraction, Duologue are pushing their sound forward into a more guitar-driven melodic territory. The dance references are still there, they’re evident in the percussive nature of the vocal melodies and guitar layering but the band is really moving into some extraordinary sort of material. “Push It” is beautiful, epic but also interesting and fresh. We cannot wait for more.

If you love anthemic dramatic UK guitar rock as the crew here at b3sci does. You will looove The Deadsets. Think Oasis, Kasabian, etc and you’re in entering the right ballpark (which is where these guys seem destined to playing someday (in 1995)). Take that and lace it with some slick sounding Morricone western type shit, and that’s sort of the point from which The Deadsets start from. Grab your Supernova guitar or at least your Supernova air guitar, your Orange amplifier, turn all that up 100x and get involved by hitting play below.

The dark! mysterious! cryptic! (ooooh spooky!) NO CEREMONY/// just turned in this glitch-y, garage-y mix of Patrick Wolf’s “Time of My Life”. Definitely feeling the track after first couple spins. And now spin three…

Cleveland is our city. Seriously, bloggers, can we do with a better starting phrase for Chip than “Cleveland’s own” which seems to start 80% of the posts about him. The only dude that should ever follow the phrase “Cleveland’s own” in a sentence is, no doubt, beloved toupee, Ted Henry, Cleveland’s own Ted Henry. Tell Ya Friends is due soon.

Old man Waits has a new LP (Bad Like Me) due soon (October 24) which should have you super psyched. Anytime this legend takes a break from being one of the coolest people on the planet just long enough to get in a studio and cut a record, you need to be listening. “Back in the Crowd”, the album’s second single is a slightly island-y Spanish guitar-backed love song. The gritty, gravely, gruff Waits can write some seriously dark shit, but the usually candid Tom can also pen the sweetest songs of devotion. With Waits it’s always been about emotive honesty and connectivity, his ability to precisely point into the whole vast continuum of emotive quality is what really elevates (and keeps) him into the sphere of the best songwriters.

Zane Lowe just dropped the premiere of The Weeknd’s remix of Florence’s latest single “Shake It Out” and now you can stream it live on b3sci. It’s moody, it’s ethereal, it almost sounds of a space age spaghetti western. It’s The Weeknd, it’s Florence, it’s b3sci.
