OOIOO - UMO



OOIOO ( /ˌoʊˌoʊˌaɪˌoʊˈoʊ/) are an all-female group founded by Boredoms drummer (and sometimes trumpeter and vocalist) Yoshimi P-We.[1]
According to allmusic's Kieran McCarthy "It's next to impossible to describe their sound, because — by design — it rarely follows consistent patterns".[1] Some of their music has been described as having "a majestic ebb and flow that suggests natural wonders"[2] or a "witchy, tribal side".[2] Either way, at any one time it may incorporate chanting and punchy drums,[2] dancey polyrhythms[3] atonal composition[3] or psychedelia.[4] "Wikipedia"

Nikki Lane "Lies" Official Video



It’s not just Nikki Lane’s raw, Tammy Wynette–style voice that gives her retro-country sound its stamp of authenticity. The South Carolina native, 25, who now lives in Nashville after brief stints in L.A. and New York, also has a backstory that is (to quote Billy Ray Cyrus) as country as country can be.

“While I was living in New York my boyfriend dumped me and moved to Atlanta,” she explained on a recent trip back to the city. “I was heartbroken, and stuck by myself, crying and upset. I’d been talking for years about making a record so I just started writing.” "Vogue"

SAVAGES - 'Husbands'

SAVAGES - 'Husbands'

NME and The Guardian are all over Savages, proclaiming them "the first vocals/guitar/bass/drums band worth caring about for eons." Brits love to overhype bands, but the four London ladies who make up this ferocious post-punk group seem worthy of the praise despite the fact they played their first show in January (opening for British Sea Power). "Husbands" is a fierce and twitchy rocker with singer Jehnny Beth yelping over a dark and driving bass line and near-constant ride cymbal. This is a song that will make you nervous, but also make you dance with reckless abandon. "Nylon"

Beast Make Bomb - Dream Boat




Beast Make Bomb is a pop/punk rock band from Brooklyn. It consists of Ceci Gomez (vocals, guitar), Glenn VanDyke (guitar), Sam Goldfine (bass), and Hartley Lewis (drums).

Haim "Forever" (Official Music Video)



“We used to do covers of rock songs by musicians like Billy Joel and Santana,” middle sister, guitarist, and lead vocalist Danielle Haim, 22, explains. “Dad played drums, Mom played guitar, Este played bass, and Alana played everything else.” Unfortunately, teenage rebellion comes in many forms (even in the laid-back Haim household) and, growing up in Los Angeles in the late nineties, the sisters were much more interested in what was playing on local pop radio stations like KIIS FM. “I think we were pushing out against our parents a bit,” says Este, 24. “Every Sunday they’d put on ‘Breakfast with the Beatles,’ but we’d always want to switch it over to something like TLC, En Vogue, or Brandy and Monica.”

Eventually the trio decided to break out on their own, and, four years ago, began experimenting with the stripped-back nu-folk–meets–nineties-R&B-pop sound found on their enchanting, recently released debut EP, Forever (currently available as a free download on their website). "Vogue"

Little Boots - Headphones (official video)



“Headphones” is the new single from the endlessly lovable British dance-popper Little Boots, and it’s all about keeping your headphones on when you’re at the club. In the Bullion Collective-directed video, Little Boots and friends throw on headphones and imagine themselves as theatrical disco stars. "StereoGum"

Colleen Green - Y Do U Call Me (Music Video)


I know a couple of things about Colleen Green.

One thing that's for sure: she's a songwriting phenomenon. She sings lovely, catchy, fuzzy songs that range from 80s pop goulash to psychedelic drone; from 90s power punk to homemade Sebadoh-style songs of heartache. Think of her as a sort of female Daniel Johnston, with her at home making comics, armed with a seemingly unlimited amount of well-composed songs, her lamentations on out-of-reach love, her self-medication, her bedroom recordings. She proudly displays her musical heroes' influences on her sleeve. She plays live shows alone on stage with only an electric guitar and a drum machine to accompany her. "Hardly Art"

Reading Rainbow: Always on My Mind



I know a couple of things about Colleen Green.

They’re likely not trying to lose their edge here and, at the end of the day, are churning out some incredibly catchy pop music, but you can’t help but wonder if they could be the prototype for the Last Hipster Band, vying for approval among people who love The Vaselines, and people who haven’t the slightest idea about The Vaselines.
