2016 Favorites

Ashley — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 15:30:50 +0000

I think we can all agree that 2016 has been a major drag of a year. Like, GIRL, BYE.

Despite the grey cloud hanging over this year, the music released has been nothing short of fantastic…a definite bright spot that we could all cling to when the times got tough. These were the songs and albums that challenged us as listeners, played to all of our emotions, and were just catchy af.

My favorite 16 of 2016 are moody, energetic, passionate, and quirky. These are songs I’ve grown more and more attached to over the year, and have definitely been a comfort to listen to during a year with many ups and downs.

While many of us are eager to put this past year in our rear-view mirrors, we know that 2017 is already going to be a crazy ride. No matter what the new year hurls at us, we can rely on music to help us keep chugging along. There are already a slew of albums that will drop in early 2017 for which I am super duper pumped. I have a feeling, at least music wise, it’s going to be a lit year.

If you like the songs below, head on over to New Jams Vol. 3 on Spotify to listen to all of the great songs I’ve curated throughout this year.

Happy holidays, friends!

Summer’s Over w/ CRUISR

Felipe — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 14:00:11 +0000

Now that summer’s officially over, besides ya’know, the 90+ degree heat, violent panhandlers, and perpetual subway sweat, we can pay homage to all the Shady Girls of Summer. To the gals who insist on only meeting up “out east” – umm, why would I do that? That’s SO far away… we live like, two blocks away from each other. To the gals makin’ plans and not bothering to let you know they ain’t showin’ – “hi.. umm, i’m here… where r u? – oh ur sick… again?! You should really see someone about that.” To the gals with boyfriends who don’t mind you knowing you’re the side piece… well it seems CRUISR, the chilled-out indiepop crew outta Philly are tired of all the bologna, and are letting you know with their new EP, “Throw Shade” (the other half of the EP was blogged out courtesy of Max).

Summer’s over… now what? #wwfd

CRUISR – Moving to Neptune

Max — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 01:47:30 +0000

Moving to Neptune is definitely my favorite track in the Cruisr live set. So I was pumped to see it released as asingle on Friday. The boys from Philly are on tour now with Young Rising Sons & Hunter Hunted and I highly recommend you check it out. Tour details here.

CRUISR – All Over (Peter Thomas Remix)

Max — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 18:04:10 +0000

So much yes! Big ups to CRUISR for crushing life right now and massive love to Peter Thomas for this experimental monsterpiece (yeah thats right). Exclusive Spotify stream below.

CRUISR – Go For It

Tim — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 16:20:56 +0000

Talk about picking up steam. As you may or may not know, we’ve been huge supporters of CRUISR for a quite some time. And now they are on an absolute roll. We’ve watched them grow up right before our eyes and it’s incredibly satisfying to see good things come to good people. It all started two years ago when we first heard “Don’t Go Alone“. Shortly thereafter we booked them to perform at our first ever live showcase. Here we are a year and a half later and they’ve signed to Vagrant Records and since toured with The 1975. They deserve it all. This release, is arguably their strongest yet and if it’s a sign of things to come, things are only getting better. We’re stoked to say they’ll be joining us in Austin on March 19th at The Yard. I fully expect it to be nothing short of amazing.

Max’s Top 14 of 2014

Max — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 19:48:57 +0000

No winners, no losers, just the 14 sounds of 2014 that make me smile the most. They are in order from the least number of Soundcloud streams to the most. And yes, one may have blatantly came out in Dec 2013, but too late to make last year’s list. Everyone deserves a fair shake, right? Great. Happy Holidays!

CRUISR – All Over

Max — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 02:00:10 +0000

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 to tell you, believe the hype! After signing to Vagrant and releasing this tremendous title track off their forthcoming EP, it’s clear these guys are staging to be major players in the post-electro rock renaissance. Follow them on Twitter @CRUISR and preorder the All Over EP out Sep 23rd!
