Based in Brooklyn, New York, Yeasayer rocks the Indie scene with crazy Bollywood inspired tunes. Check out this live performance of 2080, which I have had stuck in my head for the past week (its that damn catchy bass line).
Every now and then I pull a CD from behind my drivers seat and pop it in. A band called Iron Horse starts to play blue grass covers of Modest Mouse and I sing along to every word, hoping someone in the car hasn’t heard Modest Mouse before.

I call it ear candy, because it is very pleasing. It will give you goosebumps at every apex, and will make your room transform into a den of cool. Who would have known such amazing music would come out of Pennsylvania and from a band called Black Moth Super Rainbow. (more…)

We welcomed the new fresh sound from a band we haven’t explored as much as the others. Their lyrics moved us, and set the perfect mood for the night. (more…)
I just discovered an amazing band after watching a unique and fascinating video. Shot using a single camera shot, and not using computer effects, they create a stunning visual experience. Directed by Roel Wouters and shot in Amsterdam in October, “Robot High School” from the band My Robot Friend is an amazing display of video genius. (more…)
