The New Girls Single, 'Lawrence' Reviewed

You gave me something to love, or in other words you gave me love itself. You took something that can sometimes feel so common and dull and brought it back to life with so much beauty and verse. You gave me happiness, and you still do. Anyway, I’d just like you to have it, it’s yours, take it as yours

Lonely Boy – The Black Keys – The buzz on the new BK album is loud and hard, maybe, but, though pretty good, this ain’t no “Next girl”.

You Me At Six "Bite My Tongue", Reviewed

You Me At Six, is a great band but uh oh, someone needs to put them back on track. The song begins well enough with a powerful beat and deep sound but the chorus? The chorus is the most dreadful generic rock band inspired wavelength of vomit I have heard in a great while. Its as if they just said ‘aww fuckit’ and threw it on tape.

To put it another way, US Punk is one thing despite the attempts of Jello Biafra and others because there was no class warfare… and maybe the attitude has changed

Woe Is Me Covers Katy Perry’s ‘TGIF’

Fearless Records now infamous “Punk Goes…” series is generally a great compilation of up and coming bands covering todays pop hits. Consider it something like Kids Bop with a beard. What worries us this time is the initial leak by the band Woe is Me. Katy Perry is a fun perfomer to cover but the band does absolutely nothing with it- other than make it worse.

Amanda Palmer, "UKULELE ANTHEM" reviewed

” do your homework with a fork, and eat your fruit loops in the dark and bring your flask of jack to work, and play your ukulele ” lyrics contributed by hundreds of Twitter using fans who used the social media vehicle to assist Palmer in her latest artsy endeavour. I may say I hate her, but thats a lie- Amanda is a genius.

Foster The People, "Call It What You Want," Video Review

Could you get more cool than having your Wikipedia page explain your band name as follows “Mark Foster originally named his band Foster & the People, but people misheard it as “Foster the People”. Eventually, he took to the nurturing image it evoked of “taking care” of the people, so the name stuck” I think not and their latest video just proves that the band has lost its fringe.

Deacon Blues – Steely Dan – These guys never got out of college and in the wake of Alabama getting beaten by LSU Saturday night in one of the best games I’ve seen in awhile, perhaps these manic depressive smartass dropouts will make em feel better.

Gym Class Heroes streaming "Ass Back Home"(feat​. Neon Hitch)

The rapping’s genius, and the lyrics are punchy with a lot of hooks and clever lines. The beat makes it a good party song, and it’ll be a good one to sing along to. GCH keeps appearing and disappearing, and as other artists start covering their earlier work, Travis and the gang finally let loose something new in this latest single.
