FEARLESS SONS VIDEO :: WE ALL FALL DOWN

Fearless Sons just released a new video for their track We All Fall Down. Looks like an old JAMC video. Watch it first here:

Franklin Stein

The boys from Yorba Linda have a new band called Franklin Stein. Playing at Union Pool with Clear Plastic Masks on June 20.

Whitness

We recently had the pleasure of hearing a set from up-and-coming EDM artist Whitness. It was like stepping back in time 20 years and hearing what we thought electronic music might sound like today. We hope to hear more of his back-to-the-future dance styling very soon.

FEARLESS SONS - NEW EP

Through the grapevine we are hearing that Fearless Sons (formerly Primitive Skin) is set to record their second EP at Adrian Grenier's WRECKROOM studios in Brooklyn. "Fearless Sons are a three-piece hard psych rock band from New York City. The band’s sound is a departure from and a reaction to the airy synth-pop sound that dominates the underground music scene today. The band roots itself in the musical aesthetic of musical icons like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Spacemen 3, The Stooges and Nick Cave while also drawing inspiration from primitive urges, dark imagery and the human experience. Their compositions shift dynamically from one moment to the next, moving from hazy repetitive guitar riffs to explosive grinding choruses. Fearless Sons will take you on a ride through hazy ruins of time only to spit you back out onto the dirty city streets of New York." We are excited to hear what these boys put out. A lo-fi self-recording of one of the tracks off their upcoming EP can be found here:

ANIMAL PARTY - AND THE SUN WILL RISE

New video from San Fran. rocker Kiyoshi Foster and his latest project Animal Party. Classic, hard hitting rockroll. Looking forward to hearing the full length from these boys. The Sun Will Rise!

PALMS HOTEL

I was recently digging around on the interweb for new music and came upon an old demo from a group called Palms Hotel. It's gritty lo-fi pop reminiscent of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. It seems like the tracks are somewhat unfinished, but I like the lo-fi electro live sound none-the-less. The uploader says the tracks were converted to digital via cassette tapes. The tracks are streaming on soundcloud here: Post a comment if you know anything more about this group...

Disappears

Disappears has to be one of my favorite bands right now. Can't wait to see them live at Glasslands in Brooklyn in April.
