Almost a week after releasing "Monarch" Manicanparty is at it again, this time winding the focus back on their debut single "Rebels in the Light" with its corresponding video. While the video isn't particularly anything mind blowing, it provides a brilliant visual aid for the track's soulful, pop-infused vocals. As for what they are concocting within the film -- we're still not sure -- but there are dry-ice bubbles involved, which is if anything just simply a joy to look at. ...
Today's delivery is brought to you by Bear In Heaven. Many of you are probably already fans of this group as they have been producing quality music since the early 2000's but i'd be a liar if I said I was a fan from the beginning.

Late last night, I got an email from a band that calls themselves DWNTWN. I had never heard of the duo, which consists of Robert Cepeda and Jamie Leffler. I wasn't sure at all what to expect but I am always intrigued by a new band, especially one that I have never heard of even in conversation...
Oakland's own Finally Boys release this captivating trancy vocal duet between a man and women that touches emotions on every level. Sounds a lot like something Pictureplane would throw into his DJ sets but this is way sadder than a Edgey fan would hope for. This sound is very unique and be on the...
Trust's latest single, "Sulk", is a delectable preview of things to come on their upcoming LP TRST (out February 28 on Arts and Crafts), blending their eerie instrumentation with a well-suited post-punk feel that gives the track a strong Echo and the Bunnymen flavor (with a cheeky lyrical nod to...
