OS Member Never Shout Never has released a stream of a new song entitled, “Malibu.”

The second song to surface off this summer’s Sunflower, “Malibu” harkens back to an earlier time in the career of Never Shout Never. The simplistic heartfelt lyrics are met with instrumentation inspired by early Dylan and are later made complete with the addition of Christofer Drew‘s signature croon. You can stream the single on Purevolume.

Sunflower is currently scheduled for a July 2 release through Drew’s own label. Will you be picking it up? Comment below and let us know your thoughts.

Get ready, internets. The king of all things weird and electronic is coming back for more.

We expect a rip of the single with surface online a short time later.

While we cannot guarantee when at this point, we promise to post “Came Back Haunted” as soon as humanly possible. Stay tuned!

Ever since the dawn of music videos, well-choreographed dance routines have had the ability to make or break a promotional effort. You could have the biggest song in the world, but if people cannot dance then it’s not going to go far. Kate Boy thinks her new single will win over the world, and we’re here to say she may just be right.

Opting for a minimalistic approach to expressing herself through the art of dance, the official video for “The Way We Are” finds Kate Boy performing, half silhouetted, and spliced between the sequences is a simple dance number that perfectly pairs with the song’s emotional atmosphere. Add to this the fact that the whole thing takes place in black and white, and you may be a click or two away from your new favorite act. Click below to enjoy “The Way We Are.” Continue reading ‘Kate Boy Drops “The Way We Are” Video’

Canadian hardcore outfit Liferuiner have released a stream of their entire new album, Future Revisionists.

Premiering on Idobi Radio’s website last night ahead of its North American release, Future Revisionists finds the one-time controversial band turning over a few new leaves. The anger and blunt aggression found on Taking Back The Night Life have been stripped away and replaced with a focus on bettering yourself and the world around you. There is still an intensity here that stands alone in the world of music, but the intent of the final product seems lean in a more positive direction. Click here to stream the album.

Tons of great albums hit stores today, including Liferuiner’s Future Revisionists. If you like what you hear, please find a local record shop and support indie music!

After a short time out of the direct spotlight, Miley Cyrus has returned to the music world ready to claim her place at the top of the charts with a new sound and attitude.

“We Can’t Stop” found its way online yesterday within minutes of premiering on Ryan Seacrest‘s Los Angeles morning radio show. The single features production from hip hop favorite Mike Will Made It, which adds a thick urban spin to Cyrus’ still pristine pop croon. You can stream “We Can’t Stop” at the end of this post.

Forgetting for a second that a big chorus with an overly simplistic set of verses is the exact structure for “Party In The USA” as it is for “We Can’t Stop,” Miley’s latest something to marvel. The music is just different enough to paint her in a new light, but still familiar enough to work with longtime followers. Will those same fans also go along with Miley’s seeming infatuation with drug culture, which is is a predominant lyrical topic throughout the track? Comment below and let us know your thoughts.

After months of slow rising anticipation, Jimmy Eat World have unveiled a stream of their forthcoming album for fans around the world to enjoy.

Hitting stores this month ahead of the countless blogs that will doubtless praise its material, Damage appeared online sometime yesterday, June 3. The 10-track effort, which runs just under 38 minutes, can be streamed on the band’s official SC Page.

Everyone has their personal favorite Jimmy Eat World world, but I dare anyone to find big flaws on Damage. After a few listens I think it’s one of the band’s best to date, and I look forward to discussing it further in the weeks to come.
