WatchNow that Kings of Leon have become divas with their own line of crazy-expensive/not-worth-the-money clothing (see here), KOL fans need a new band who won’t insist on having their own toilets.
Cue Alberta Cross. The Brooklyn-based English band play the same brand of blues-inspired americana-ish rock. But less arena and more edgy. I’d say, sounds similar to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Vandaveer’s simple folk tunes are a breath of fresh air and a worthy throwback to the old school days of Bob Dylan domination.
Boy-girl harmonies and clean guitar plucks are the M.O. for this Washington DC band that is the brainchild of main man Mark Charles Heidinger.
The stream above features their latest A Minor Spell EP, available exclusively on tour or...

WatchEditors sound great on record and they sound amazing live. But in my opinion, they definitely sound best stripped down.

Warpaint's The Fool
(image via Pitchfork)
New album releases don’t excite me that often. But man, am I super stoked for Warpaint’s debut LP.
I discovered them after trawling through the list of performers at Mercury Lounge. I was staying two blocks away and so I walked down Ludlow towards Houston in the rain, excited to finally see them after watching and re-watching “Beetles” and...

Arcade Fire: The Wilderness Downtown →
(image via techshout)
The Wilderness Downtown is Arcade Fire’s latest stroke of genius. And yeah, they’ve been having many of those lately. Along with Internet giant Google and director Chris Milk, Win Butler and friends have taken the idea of a music video and transformed it into an interactive trip down memory lane.
So, how it works is that you enter your childhood address and...
