The French electronic/rock music duo, Justice, performed in NYC this weekend. I was lucky enough to attend the show and witness what I would call a truly amazing concert. I was very impressed by Justice’s two hour set consisting of a majority the tracks off of their latest album Audio, Video, Disco, and some classics from…

Now that it has been around a week since the release of fun’s sophomore album, Some Nights, we have heard mixed reviews on the album. By now everyone knows Fun’s viral single “We Are Young” featuring one of my favorite pop singers, Janelle Monae. Some Nights may have a lot of autotune, but all I have…

Grammy-winning indie band Bon Iver just released a music video for “Towers”, one of my favorites off their sophomore album. As CoS pointed out, the main character seems to be taken from the cover of Led Zeppelin IV, which I thought was really cool. I love seeing new indie bands paying homage to the classics.

I have at least 5 exceptional songs to post from the last couple of days, but I’ll get to that tomorrow. To end off the night though, I have the newly released Arctic Monkeys single “R U Mine?”. Hopefully I’ll hear…

YGM + Down With Webster A couple of nights ago, YGM went to Santos Party House NYC to see Down With Webster perform and get an interview. The band completely blew us away, putting on one of the most high energy shows we’ve seen in a while. We even got to sit down for an…

I hear a lot of different Indie bands with catchy songs on the radio, and every time I hear one I like to give their whole album a listen. It is very rare that one of those bands has a listenable album all the way through; GroupLove is an extreme exception. Not only is their…

I love the original version of this song and it’s gotten a ridiculous amount of plays in my iTunes, so naturally I was excited to hear a remix. This remix by dBerrie definitely didn’t disappoint, with a great buildup and great translation of the original song into a whole new genre. Check it out below.…
