Best Coast - "The Only Place"

California's indie-pop dream duo Best Coast have given us something to get excited about with their new song "The Only Place." After setting hearts a-flutter the world over with their last album Crazy for You with LA-based label Mexican Summer, Bethany Cosentino and musical partner Bobb Bruno are back to re-light that old flame. Best Coast's lo-fi style, simple melodies, and lyrics wrought with romantic and/or relationship-y themes give their music a potent dose of nostalgia that resonates with listeners - both on...

Beach House meets Wavves, that's all I have to say. Splashh has been releasing tracks intermittently for the past three weeks, starting with "Lemonade" and "Washed Up" on the 26th of February, then "All I Wanna Do" on the 27th, and finally "Feels Like You" last Thursday (the 8th).  The...

Tennis - "Origins" [Video]

Tennis is going to be one of the major breakthrough bands of 2012. I'm calling this right now -- but before you dismiss this audacious proclamation let me explain. The husband-wife duo contains all of the same elements that made bands like Cults go viral last year: A sort of Surf-Pop vibe that is...

Introducing: Ski Lodge

There is nothing more pleasant than being utterly impressed by a band you've never heard of, especially at their live show. This surprise encounter happened a couple of days ago, when Ski Lodge opened for The Good Natured. Ski Lodge is a project from Andrew Marr, who was previously in The...
