Today’s Track of the Day actually gets you 3 (or 4) for the price of one.  I have been receiving an absurd amount of singles in my email lately and was sifting through them to find what gem I could post today.  I prefer to put some more obscure singles out there, but most importantly, [...]

Geeky white dudes that make great grooves and sexy dance rock.  That about sums up We Are Scientists.  It makes me wonder how much action these dudes really get from their shows seeing as how all of their singles make women go wild like Patrick Dempsey just walked into the room.
The first single from the [...]

Those damned Mumford & Sons . . . they’re just so rad.  The appalachian folk music they throw down on Sigh No More has kept them buzzing on the internet blogosphere and their street-cred is right up there with Vampire Weekend, only with a dirty, barroom blitz kind of feel.
Not being a huge Vampire Weekend [...]

To preface this edition of Saturday Morning Punks with something weird: Someone named Mary emailed me and told me that a good way to get more hits on a blog was to post recipes. I’m assuming this was an automated email from an “improve your blog” service seeing as how I’m a friggin [...]

Those damned Canadians.  They get the Olympics, snag our hockey gold medal, and now they release some fine indie-rock music.  Since when did Canada become an epicenter of victory?  I mean . . . they’ve never even fought a war, led alone WON one.
Perhaps Canada is on the uprising these days.
The Born Ruffians are a [...]

I’ve always been a sucker for the Bloc Party/Minus The Bear connection of Foals.  The super-groovers have just released a new single for their upcoming album, Total Life Forever, to be released on May 10th.

“Spanish Sahara” is a bit more moody and mellow than anything they’ve put out in the past, but it’s a nice [...]

Ever since getting turned onto Mumford & Sons via their Sigh No More album, I’ve had a hard time listening to anything but.  Being a country-born kid just makes you have this affinity for the stomping folk music that these guys make.

The only downside being that I could see these guys invading the US just [...]

MP3:  “Anti-Manifesto” – Propagandhi
Seriously. I awoke this morning to my usual case of insomnia and decided that a sugary bowl of cereal was the only way to spend my early Saturday morning. Just like the good old days. The shuffle function threw me the biggest curve ball ever and left me with [...]

MP3:  “Thieves” – She & Him
Zooey Deschanel and M Ward’s retro-epic little side project, She & Him, is the closest thing to 50’s/60’s crooning that we’ll ever get.  On the first single from the upcoming Volume 2, things were just a little bit more playful.  On “Thieves”, thing gets a bit more serious and Deschanel [...]

MP3: “Sister” – Mumford & Sons
So I have this friend, right? The dude smokes a lot of cigarettes and loves strippers. He’s not as scummy as he sounds . . . he just works in the snow/skate industry. All kidding aside, the dude grew up on a steady diet of awesome, under-the-radar [...]
