Against Me!’s last album was a major label crossover that almost left the band in shambles. With half of their cult fan-base alienated as Tom Gabel walked his tour bus on MTV, original drummer Warren left the band permanently to pursue personal interests. The interesting part was that New Wave wasn’t even a departure for Florida’s finest anarchists. It had every bit of muscle, grit, and literate spit that its predecessors had. Read more
The title track off of The Monitor, the Titus Andronicus’ romping ode to the Civil War gets a visual collage of epic proportions (despite being a sufficient radio edit). “A More Perfect Union” normally spans about 7:10, but is cut to a more manageable length here without taking the main concept away.
The video mashes together the Civil War sentiment with the roughshed modern feel that Titus Andronicus mixes with every track on The Monitor. A less violent romp through the southern woods leaves the band victorious once again.
After being some of the most enigmatic icons on the internet, Cults have alluded to their passion for film with a beautiful video for “Go Outside” off of their sought-after 7″.

She & Him seem to have everything set for the release of their upcoming Volume 2. From what I can tell, everything from 2 sounds like progress from Volume 1‘s own, unique blend of retro soul and country-crooning. Zooey’s eyes are as blue as ever and M Ward has added quite a bit of texture and depth to every bit of the album’s first singles.
As she did with Volume 1‘s “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here“, Zooey has put together a fun, playful little music video for the duo’s latest single, “In The Sun”. Blue eyes, hula hoops, cute girls in plaid skirts . . . it sounds like a re-telling of everyone’s fond-yet-awkward memories of freshman year of high school.
As always:
Jack White’s Third Man Records has some seriously dark, bluesy characters lurking in its roster. The Black Belles are a collection of tough looking dames playing some serious garage rock, that, I’m sure, makes Jack proud.
I really love the sound of this new single as the noir video rolls along like an Alfred Hitchcock-esque mind bender. The ladies definitely understand that simplicity of their chosen instruments and weave them together behind the sultry lead vocals.
Sounding like a toned-down Kills song, it’s really an infectious beat with very little filler that puts the vocals at center stage. Center-cut, this could be the next club stomper.
