• Vacation – “Broken Bones”

    MMMMMP3s welcomes another Vacation single into the mix: "Broken Bones." Hella darker that previous releases, which dig around lovestruck, lo fi, Johnston-meets-Barlow territory. But this is a guy who made a video starring himself in full clown costume — and we all know what deep, dark, twisted madness lies...
  • Bleached – “Searching Through The Past”

    QRO doesn’t usually pile up two artists in the same MMMP3s post, but we’ve got 2 great ones here — Bleached and DāM-FunK — so I couldn’t resist. Plus, wasn’t sure what crazy hell the super long name of the DāM-FunK song "Just Ease Your Mind From All Negativity...
  • The Famines – “Faux Famous”

    Whoah! Stripped down Canadian garage punk attack. The Famines are a wild two piece that’s been kicking around for a few years, popping out 7"s along the way. Now all those tracks have been gathered together into a complete singles collection, released by Mammoth Cave Recording Co. this past...
  • Hip Hatchet – “Coward’s Luck”

    Hip Hatchet are some real acoustic dudes & dudettes from Portlandia. Beards. Flannel. Rain. You know what I’m saying? QRO dug their last release Men Who Share My Name and we’re digging the EP they just dropped called Coward’s Luck. Lush, full guitar pickin’ weaves with winsome poetry for...
  • Tribes : We Were Children

    Tribes – “We Were Children”

    On Thursday & Friday, December 8th & 9th, New York City is visited by England’s Tribes.  The group has been building a lot of buzz back over in Blighty as a ‘return to rock’ without being only a ‘return to rock’, thanks to a healthy dose of indie. Their...
  • Inca Gold – Inca Gold I & II

    Scanning my Twitter feed one day and some dude I follow is raving about Inca Gold. Like: "If you haven’t heard ’em yet, y’all, get on that shit before 2011 is finished." That’s a paraphrase, but more or less correct. Can’t remember who gave the tip off — my...
  • Patois – “Antiqued”

    Some chill dub fusion from Chicago’s Patois, delivered straight through your interwebz portal. That’s just science, homie. Stream the track "Antiqued" below, off their self-titled album & check out the vid & figure out how to buy their album at their own site or at Dimly Lit Records &...
  • The Black Tambourines – “Bad Days”

    This is the sort of buzz pop band that sounds so ruthlessly catchy, you figure they’ve been bred overnight in a test tube by some major label. But no, the Black Tambourines have been puttering about in the UK long enough to record two earlier EPs at least, Hombre...
  • speedy ortiz – “frankenweenie”

    Back when I lived in the Pioneer Valley (that’s where Kim & Thurston live(d) — maybe they’ll find separate residences now, post-split?) I used to hear a lot of these types of bands: fly-by-night, 4-track indie projects that would pull together for one magical session of noise & pop,...
