[imgfull] [/imgfull] There’s so much new music on the latest episode of First Person we might just burst (and we know you will). Sky Ferreira, Minature Tigers, Kanye West, Noise Machine, and more take turns rocking the show.
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.
The band mostly known for a cover of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop†has released its sophomore album, and unfortunately the original tunes fall a little short.
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.
All 29 minutes and eight songs of the Neon Trees’ debut mix up the decades, combining for a fast-paced dance party reminiscent of The Strokes and Depeche Mode.
The idea of a collaboration between The Shins frontman James Mercer and DJ Danger Mouse seemed a bit absurd at first.
It certainly does not suck to be Four Year Strong right now.
This past December witnessed more than snow and sleighs when We the Kings re-emerged with Smile Kid.
