  • Clear Plastic Masks




    Clear Plastic Masks are pissing off my neighbors. I am listening to the few songs I can find online so loud they can only assume I'm a thirteen year old boy who hates their parents. These guys are Nashville based, but let's face it, they're' [...]
  • STRFKR :: While I'm Alive


    STRFKR (Starfucker) is about to drop their new album, Miracle Mile! This post has been in the pipeline for a while, but since the release date is coming up - February 19 - I figured I'd stop dragging my heels.
    The Portland-based electronica group has been slowly' [...]
  • Knocking Ghost :: Distractions


    Seems it's a London kinda day today on OTR. Another track that caught my attention in our inbox today is "Distractions" by London band Knocking Ghost. A great subdued synth track. The video really sealed the deal in me digging the track. That's why videos are so [...]
  • Elephant :: Skyscraper


    Got sent this lovely track "Skyscraper" by London duo Elephant. Beautiful track with gorgeous female vocals that reminds me of the days of Nico and the Velvet Underground. Fans of theirs will find themselves falling in love with Elephant as well. 3 1/2 mins of pure pop [...]

    Chvrches seems to be the next "it" export from Glasgow, Scotland. Their feature single, "Recover" hit the internet by storm. The track is nice and lead singer's, Lauren Mayberry, voice accompanies the track perfectly. The trio is bound for San Francisco on March 10th, and have a couple of tour' [...]
  • Du Tonc :: Darkness


    Du Tonc is a new project between Mighty Mouse and founding Van She member Matt. The first track they've released/sent our way is the lovely disco tinged "Darkness". An amazing track that I could tell within 5 seconds of pressing play that I was gonna' [...]
  • Little Daylight :: Overdose


    Not sure where the trio known as Little Daylight are from, but apparently after putting out a bunch of cool remixes they released their own original track "Overdose" recently and then quickly managed to reach #1 on Hype Machine. Pretty impressive achievement and I can see why. [...]
  • My Bloody Valentine :: MBV


    The big news this past weekend was shoegaze legends My Bloody Valentine releasing a new album 'MBV'. It's their first new album since 1991's classic 'Loveless'. They are self releasing the album via their site here in a bunch of different formats. I am currently absorbing [...]

    One of my favorite bands of all time Depeche Mode are getting ready to release new album 'Delta Machine' March the 26th. They just released first single "Heaven" earlier this week and yesterday unveiled the video for the track. It is a ballad that has gotten some [...]
