• New Music Saturday: The Wonder Years

    Yeah, I know it’s not Saturday, but it’s close enough. The Wonder Years are another band that are pretty popular in my world, but I don’t know how popular they are in the real world. This week they released a video to a new song that is going to be included with a book that they are releasing titled “Living Room Song”. I’m really digging it. Sometimes the simplest videos are the best.

  • New Music Saturday: We Are the In Crowd

    I’ve been a fan of We Are the In Crowd for what seems like forever. In my world they are a pretty big band, and I assume most people know about them. In reality, that’s probably not true. This video is their latest off their debut full length album, Best Intentions.

  • New Music Saturday: TAT

    I feel I’m a little late to the game with this band. I discovered them maybe six months ago. Sure you may not have heard of TAT, but they have been a band since 2003, and their one full length album came out in 2008. They also have a bunch of EPs out. Their acoustic EP is especially amazing. You can check out more of their awesomeness on their YouTube page. They are literally the best new band that I have discovered in years.

  • New Music Saturday: Candy Hearts

    I’m going to start using Saturdays as the day that I post new music that I am really digging lately, if I remember. Today that band is Candy Hearts. I don’t know if they have any official videos. I couldn’t find any. The above video is an acoustic live performance of their song “Lighter Than the Air” off their latest album, Everything’s Amazing & Nobody’s happy. You gotta love an album named from a Louis C.K. bit, but it’s even better because it contains some great songs too. You can probably pick it up wherever you get your music, but I got it from their Bandcamp site.

  • Band you should know: Mixtapes

    So one of the bands that I’ve been in love with lately is the Mixtapes. The above video is off their Hope is for People EP that they released last year. I believe all their music has been self released so far. They have one album, and a handful of EPs, and they’re all great. They have a new album coming out on Tuesday on No Sleep Records. I’m really looking forward to it.

  • New music for your ear holes

    I probably don’t share enough of the current music that I listen to. I kind of just assume everybody else knows about the bands I listen to, but in reality most people have probably never heard of them.

    This video is for a song called “I Already Know (She Don’t Give a Shit About Me)” from Patent Pending. The video is filled with internet pop culture that I’m sure you’re familiar with.

  • One week left until Go is released

    Well, we are now a week away from the new Motion City Soundtrack album. I got my preorder in, and am so tempted to download the leaked version. Thankfully they are streaming the entire album on Soundcloud. Go check it out. They also have a bunch of videos up on the Epitaph Records YouTube channel. They are such an amazing band. I have seen them in concert eight times, and can’t wait to see them again.
