At long last, You, Me and Everyone We Know has released the full length album that everyone has been waiting for since 2006 and it is exquisite.
Occasionally, when a musician and his former band part ways, it can be detrimental; but in some cases it can cause three like souls to find one another and create something that has been burning within them all this time.
New Politics ultimately sounds formulaic; it eventually lacks the initial pep that draws you into what this Danish band potentially has to offer. The songs are textbook from beginning to end; they are decent for what it’s worth, but there is no noticeable sheen in them. Many of the tracks, such as “Love is a Drug,†have their introductory moments of catchy beats or great bass lines, but that spark gradually fizzles.
California’s kings of summery rock anthems have released their third album just in time to beat the inevitable heat, and with Eureka the band have once again proven their ability to craft a timeless record collection of fun-in-the-sun jams.
Living Like Ghosts has made a big but potentially necessary move in its hunt for rock stardom: the jettisoning of two members, including a third guitarist, from its lineup. It would be hard for any band to justify a six-string attack, and the now four-piece group from Detroit is free to roam the country in a much roomier tour van and spread its shiny pop rock tunes to audiences near and far.
Anyone looking for a departure from the electronic and dance inspired music that seems to be all the rage these days should be sure to check out The Last Tibetan Midnight, the latest release from psychedelic rock group The Greening.
This past December witnessed more than snow and sleighs when We the Kings re-emerged with Smile Kid.

Motion City Soundtrack is at it again with its fourth studio full-length album, My Dinosaur Life, the first released under its contract with Columbia Records. The band is set to embark on tour in support of the album with Set Your Goals, This Providence and The Swellers.
