P.O.S. has released a new video for “Weird Friends” from their album We Don’t Even Live Here, and it’s every bit as chaotic (and, well, weird) as you’d expect. The visuals and lyrical content are a nice alternative to the usual stuff you’d find in more mainstream hip hop. We Don’t Even Live Here is out […]
All day festival. Many different genres. All ages. Free admission. What more do you need?

Subpop posted on YouTube one of the 15 bonus songs included in the 10th anniversary reissue of The Postal Service’s landmark (and only) album Give Up. Even though it is more of an upbeat departure from the tracks on Give Up, it’s still quality material. The album is out April 9th (preorder through Subpop).

She is a shepherd and his wife in labor. She is a young man in America. A tailor because he liked her clothes and a poet because he vowed to forget her. These fine stories permeate through the sweetness about her. It is the eternal tale, sung by Anaïs Mitchell, the queen of modern folk music (a […]
Festival Nrmal – March 6th-10th – Monterrey, N.L Mexico.
Black Congress’ self-titled EP was just uploaded to their Bandcamp site, and it showcases their unique brand of noise rock. Local boys creating a wall of sound with the trademark weirdness of the Houston underground music scene. It doesn’t get better than that. Be sure to check out their other 7-inch releases, also available on […]

Tree, the Chicago producer and rapper released one of last year’s standout mixtapes, “Sunday School,” which featured him rapping well and throwing his hoggish, soulful “ah!” all over his signature style of sampling. When at their best, Tree’s beats sound like an assembly line of little toy parts strung up by snares pops. With samples […]
