I’ve gotten tons of requests on this new release from the Weeknd, Thursday. Though I’m not exactly excited to dive into this Canadian, experimental R&B project again, I figure I’d at least touch down on one track to let y’all know how I feel.
Considering I touched down on this band’s debut EP earlier this year, at least reviewing one track from this new All Pigs Must Die album, God Is War, was simply a must. As far as I can tell, the band is still working with Kurt Ballou of Converge to
It’s a review of the track that seems to be shining a lotta light on Australia’s independent music scene right now: Gotye’s “Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know.” Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy checking out this track as much as I did.

A new video for “Slime,” which comes off of Sleeping Bag’s new debut album via Joyful Noise. I wasn’t down with the entire LP, but I’m very in love with this song–not to mention the video that’s now been attached to it. In this music
