amidst an episode, episode hopes for a new episode

Felipe — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:30:14 +0000

“Boy band” no longer, this NYC foursome, Episode, have set out on the humbling quest of a full-fledged makeover, a reinvention of themselves. The desire to shake off their former selves in to something a tad more “palatable” was strong enough that it appears they scrubbed the internet Gavin Belson-style of any of their previous misgivings (today’s Tinder generation is gonna need that technology if they’re ever going to run for office…). It’s as if in 2015, the four Episode boys went for a walk in a meadow, discussed the status of their band, and picked a whole bouquet of oopsie-daisies… After regrouping and recentering in their East Village apartment, vocalist Daniel Lonner reminisced on a time when he almost drowned as a kid… and boom, therein came their new single (this song) “Swim,” ya know, cuz “sometimes love can feel like you’re drowning.” How lovely.

Kiiara & Jai Wolf mastering USA foreign relations

Felipe — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 16:00:52 +0000

Born and bred Fightin’ Illini, 21 year-old Kiiara appeared outta nowhere last summer on SoundCloud with her single “Gold,” a chopped up electrochill track that raced to north of 51 million spotify listens as of today. She was just making music in her bedroom at mom’s house, something happened, got hooked up with some mega folks and now she’s a hit. Easy peasy. Her official first EP came out like a week ago, but the jam to get on is this Jai Wolf remix of her track “Feels” – which gives you a very “move in slow motion Miami”-vibe (hit that 1:40 & 3:33 mark). The Bangladesh-born, NYC-raised DJ better known as Jai Wolf, not only has a sweet stage name, but was really in to Crash Bandicoot (gr8 game) and Pokemon growing up, which makes him aok in my book (all about that Charizard).

Feli Wonders which is more acceptable as an adult, Pokemon cards or Magic: The Gathering?

Public Access TV-In Love and Alone

Ashley — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:00:48 +0000

Public Access TV are grit, guitars, leather jackets, cigarettes, and rock and roll. Lead singer John Eatherly and his band mates have had quite the whirlwind year. Hailing from downtown NYC, this 4-piece became known as the band who lost their apartment to the gas explosion that rocked the East Village back in March. Becoming homeless while on tour on the opposite side of the country could derail some bands, but PATV (in true New York fashion) dug deep and threw themselves into more touring and making new music. In May they released their 5 song EP titled Public Access. To promote Public Access, they toured the US supporting British rock bands Gang of Four and Palma Violets. They also played a slew of summer festivals in Europe and opened for The Strokes, to whom they’ve drawn many comparisons. They also just completed a month long run with Hinds on a portion of their North American tour.

With their debut album slated to be released in early 2016, the band has just posted a new song, “In Love and Alone” + an accompanying video. This is the B-side to their previously recently released single, “Patti Peru.” Both are currently available via Terrible Records. The video below shows the band gallivanting around the East Village–grabbing food, shooting some pool, and drinking beers in dimly lit bars–just a typical night out with the pals. The song is rambunctious, loud, full of guitars, and showcases Eatherly singing about a love gone wrong in his signature growl. Definitely get yourself acquainted with PATV now, and be prepared to watch them really take off in the new year.

Bel Heir – Free + NYC

Jason — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 19:11:39 +0000

Bel Heir is bringing the groove again and they have shared a one-two punch of awesome tracks today.

Free is my favorite of the duo and features some classic Bel Heir vocals, soft synth and pulsing bass. The song wants you to set it free, I suggest you do as it says.

NYC is an ode to one of the greatest cities in the world, Tokyo! A happy April Fools to you too.

This ballad dedicated to New York is all about giving in to the immensity of the city and accepting that sometimes, you just can’t live without it. Not bad for the boys from Philly. It makes me miss living New York, badly.

Breton – Envy

Jason — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:11:09 +0000

Breton, some wonderful lads from London, have been teasing us with tracks off their forthcoming album, War Room Stories. This album isn’t due out until February 3rd, but I’ve been pretty impressed with what I’ve heard so far. Got Well Soon is a great track, but Envy has to be my favorite so far. It’s got some real guts in there with what sounds like steel drums (a particular favorite of mine), a horn and a violin. Listen to this and see how Breton manages to weave all this into a coherent, toe tapping and dance-y as hell track!

For all of you in NYC Breton is going to be in town soon. You can soak up all of their British goodness during the show at Glasslands put together in part by our friends at Beautiful Buzzz. Get your tickets now!!!
