Wildflower Records artist Amy Speace will be touring throughout November in the UK, Germany, Austria and Luxemburg in support of her recently released album ‘Songs For Bright Street’ in German through O-tone/Edel and the rest of Europe through ADA/Ryko.
It follows radio airplay across Germany, with some stations spinning the songs from [...]

Vandaveer is the town-folk, city-pop, solo song and dance routine stated for the record and committed to tape by one Mark Charles Heidinger. In recent seasons this Mark Charles character traversed the mighty American highways spreading golden pop rock cheer and debauchery as principle singer, songwriter, hand-clapper and chorus-yelper for The Apparitions. Where The Apparitions [...]

Cool band alert! The Blood Arm is a rockin’ band from LA, and their sound travels far - at times eerily reminiscent of Scottish band Franz Ferdinand, who happen to be fans of the band…and wow these guys have rocked my socks off. The best way to listen to The Blood Arm’s “Suspicious Character” single [...]

Why Mando Diao isn’t an all around household name yet, I just don’t know. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to hear them, and you like your indie rock punk sounding bands that have a tendency to shift from one sound to the next, then listen to them now! You’re missing out! If you have [...]

I’m always on the lookout for a female singer to come on the scene and ‘wow’ me and I think it’s just happened with Liverpool based singer Candie Payne. Her latest single, “I Wish I Could Have Loved You More” due to be released on March 12th has an old 60’s pop feel that quickly [...]

The more I listen to new band on the scene Ghosts‘ latest single, “Stay the Night”, the more I like it. With the release of “Stay The Night” coming up on March 19th, this breezy indie pop song has a very summery feel. It’s almost too bad it wasn’t released closer to the summer, but [...]

The Bees. That is a great band name. The thing is though, they also go by A Band Of Bees. And the good thing about it is that The Bees can follow up their great band names with quality music. I was fortunate enough to see them play last summer as The Bees at the [...]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will be touring this April in the US with Elvis Perkins in Dearland. In January 2007 Clap Your Hands Say Yeah released their second album, Some Loud Thunder which includes singles, “Satan Said Dance” and “Underwater (You and Me)”.
The Brooklyn and Philadelphia based indie band was unsigned when they released [...]

Muse released Black Holes and Revelations in 2006 and with age, the songs off of the album just keep getting better and better. Each track shines - especially my favorite, “Knights of Cydonia”.
I’ve mentioned before on Trendy Bands, how much I love the track and that I was lucky enough to have seen Muse play [...]
