Quirky yet awesome English electronic band Hot Chip have a video that stylistically sums them up. Known for quirky yet cool videos, the band serve up another treat in the new video for Started Right. The song has a bit...
Foals keep hitting us with new stuff, and fortunately for our ears, it’s good stuff. Following up Mountain At My Gates and What Went Down, the Oxford, England band return with A Knife in the Ocean. A Knife in the...
Half Moon Run are back, which is great news for fans of their stunning debut. While Dark Eyes was a bit of an alternative, folk sound with interesting rhythms and song structures, lead single Trust is a gigantic warp in...

ON AN ON have fallen into an unfortunate category that too many bands fall into for me – they get bookmarked for me to post about later, and live forever in my Google Chrome bookmarks bar. Upon hearing their latest...
