Vivian Girls Announce Debut Album

Vivian Girls is another all-female band worth a mention. A trio from Brooklyn formed about a year ago, pretty new, yet already sounding like a familiar veteran from an underground indie joint. Their musical styles have similarities to the likes of punk rock, indie rock, shoegaze, maybe a little blend of feminine pop.

Started off with a self-recorded demo CD-R and developed strong impact to fans remembering their names. Followed by a single earlier this year, and this upcoming self-titled debut release coming October 7 through In The Red Records.

Crunchy distorted guitar strums, deep thronging bass grinding through an energetic punk drumming work. Certainly the greatest blend of all time in rock history!

Dear And The Headlights - Drunk Like Bible Times

An American rock band from Arizona, Dear And The Headlights elaborates their musical styles through a variant of mix from indie pop to folk rock to rock.

On September 30, the band will release their follow-up to their debut (Small Steps, Heavy Hooves), Drunk Like Bible Times through Equal Vision Records.

A quote by vocalist Ian Metzger in an interview, "I think part of the issue with the first record is that we demoed a bunch of songs, and we just demoed them to death......By the time we ended up recording the actual record, I had to go in and sing about stuff that I didn't even slightly relate to anymore. When we went into the studio and heard the polished version, we're like, 'Ugh! It's a little lifeless.' On this record, we didn't demo any of the songs. We let playing them out live kind of be the demo just by playing it out and remembering how it sounds live."

If you're considering bands like Third Eye Blind, Jimmy Eat World, Copeland and Brandtson, this is one of the selection that you won't wanna leave out.

Air Jordan 1 'Low Phat'

Check this one out. Jordan have chosen the Air Jordan 1 as the base to produce the all new Air Jordan 1 Low Phat. Considered as a skate shoe due to the heavy padding on the shoe, otherwise, it looks similar to the original one. Available in two different colorways, these are now available at eBay.

MURS - Murs For President

MURS, an acronym for Making Underground Raw Shit, is the stage name of American underground rapper Nick Carter. One of the many reputable independent rappers in the West Coast, he has released several solo albums, and is part of other rap groups including Living Legends, Felt, 3 Melancholy Gypsys and Log Cabin Crew.

Signed to Warner Bros Records, MURS will be releasing his seventh studio album, Murs For President on September 30. In this album will see guest artists include Snoop Dogg and Will.I.Am. This is his first album with a major record label.

Take a vote for MURS entertaining flow, scrumptious dup-dup-dap beats, lyrically brilliant lines and some deep baselines to get the other instruments all geared up to make music. Simply tremendous! You'll get yourself a hell of a president.

Mercury Rev Unveils Two New Albums

American rock group Mercury Rev unveils two new studio albums, Snowflake Midnight and Strange Attractor, both to be release on September 29.

Snowflake Midnight is a set of nine self-luminous, astonishing new songs from the band which will be available in physical CD format. However, the companion Strange Attractor is an 11-track album which will be given as a free MP3 download.

The first thing that came across our minds, "marketing strategy". Instead of compiling them into a double-disc album, which most bands apply, they took this step to release two separate albums on the same date. Well, let's not highlight the fact that Strange Attractor will be a bigger catch to Rev's fans, it seems like we have a winner of the month here - the most generous one.


First single is Sense of Fire. The EP featured remix versions by Fujiya & Miyagi and James Holden. (check out their MySpace to listen to it while you still can)

You're just too curious to find out how you can get the free download, ain't ya? OK, click on this link to find out how.
