Cardiknox – Wasted Youth

Pardon my speed bloggin skillz but the new Cardiknox is incredible.  It reminds of WHAM! and that scene from Zoolander where they have the freak gasoline fight accident.  Whoa!  Im losing it.  Bear with me.  One week til Austin.  Get your mind right!

And just like that a fresh track-of-the-year nominee has arrived. Its now no wonder that Cardiknox was spawned out of a Broadway show collaboration, this track is BIG…like stadium big. Lights, pyro, fog, wireless mics, backup dancers…thats all I can picture when the chorus hits....

CRUISR – All Over

Did you know CRUISR was the first band to ever play a TMD Presents show (see here)?  After the gracious intro from a Noah Hyde remix early last year, we had no choice but to invite them up from Philly for the real thing.  I’m here...

Kid Astray – All Alone We’ll Be Just Fine

After first hearing about Kid Astray from a Cardiknox interview on Backseat Mafia this morning, I’ve been listening to the Easily Led Astray EP non-stop trying to figure out which is my favorite track.  It’s a very tough call.  These Norwegians have indie pop pretty much...
