Barbarossa – The Load

Here is a catchy song, however a silly music video that isn’t done very well. Does the lead singer look like a backwoods Justin Timberlake? You decide. Enjoy

From the album Bloodlines (2013)

The Knife – A Tooth for an Eye

A wonderful video! Check it out! The song is a 8/10.

From the album Shaking the Habitual (2013)

A little somethin’:

Records do not come more provocative, abrasive or uncompromising than Shaking the Habitual. Does that make it good? It’s so un-apologetically indigestible that it’s hard to say at this stage: Silent Shout is clearly superior as a pop record and Tomorrow, In a Year is much more satisfyingly fathomable as a piece of art.

Shaking the Habitual is something else, but it’s hard not to find that profoundly exhilarating.

Bastille – Pompeii (Weekly Highlight)

This band will get big. I’m predicting it. They have 3 great songs that just make you feel good with solid vocals and quality lyrics. Note the date because I saw them first!! haha

From their EP Bastille – Pompeii (2013)

And from their new album Bad Blood (2013)

The South London four-piece Bastille recently released their official music video for “Pompeii” in anticipation for their EP of the same name that will be released on February 24th.  They just seem to be getting better with a more uniquely refined sound with each song they release.

Telekinesis – Ghosts And Creatures

“It’s Telekinesis Kyle!” Enjoy this great song with a humorous video.

From the album Telekinesis – Dormarion (2013)

Here is a bit:

Telekinesis is both a band and a person. It’s taken Michael Benjamin Lerner, now a wizened, grizzled 26-year-old, four years to come to terms with this and understand what responsibilities it does and does not entail, although one would not, from listening to its/his previous two albums, 2009’s self-titled debut and 2011’s 12 Desperate Straight Lines, detect any hint of confusion or self-doubt, aside from the songs that were directly about confusion or self-doubt. His third album, Dormarion, is, then, in ways both practical and profound, the sound of a man figuring out exactly who he is. Also, it’s a total fucking hoot.
Lerner wrote the 12 songs that comprise Dormarion in early 2012—half at his home in West Seattle and half at his family’s house in the San Juan Islands—with the original intention of recording the album completely on his own. Instead, he road-tripped over the summer and made the record in two weeks with Spoon drummer Jim Eno in his Austin, TX studio, Public Hi-Fi. On Dormarion Lane, to be specific. “It’s a beautiful-sounding word, and if you Google it, nothing but this one tiny street comes up,” says Lerner, although this is obviously about to change. “No origin, no description. I can’t tell you what the word means. It’s like something from Lost.”
So there’s two drummers, and no one else, collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder on a musically adventurous album containing two centerpiece songs on which there are no drums whatsoever. The breakthrough, musically and otherwise, came with the eighth song written for the record, “Ghosts and Creatures,” a keyboard-driven, spacey, and darn near Goth turn that marks a conscious departure from his guitar-bass-drums power-pop racket. “That was the most unlike-me song I’d ever written.”
When you see Telekinesis perform this year, Lerner will be backed by Erik Walters of The Globes on guitar, Say Hi’s Eric Elbogen on bass, and Rebecca Cole of Wild Flag and The Minders on keyboards.
