    Surfer Blood Covers "Hey Sandy"

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 Although we haven’t heard much from Surfer Blood regarding plans for a new album, the Florida power pop outfit has been keeping busy since the release of its debut, Astro Coast, last year. This past weekend, the group brought their sunny guitar leads and melodies to Denmark for

    House of Wolves- "50's"

    The Needle Drop

    50’s by House of Wolves When I was first introduced to House of Wolves, I was confused. According to his facebook page, House of Wolves is a solo project of Rey Villalobos, a singer-songwriter from California. Although he’s a man, I could have sworn that the vocals I

    John Maus- "Cop Killer"

    The Needle Drop

    While it certainly doesn’t seem as official as John Maus’ video for “Head for the Country,” the eerie and sci-fi movie footage strung together in this video seems pretty appropriate for the track “Cop Killer”–admittedly, one of my favs from Maus’ latest LP, which we’ve got an

    Bad Bad Not Good's Debut EP

    The Needle Drop

    BADBADNOTGOOD by BADBADNOTGOOD Last month, I talked up some live videos from Canada’s Bad Bad Not Good, which is a young jazz trio of sorts. I’d call them “jazz fusion,” but that hardly addresses what they’re fusing together. Rather than welding jazz with some rock or funk,

    Via NPR Music, it’s a live video of the Body performing its crushing brand of sludge metal with the Assembly Of Light Choir In Concert, which made an appearance on the duo’s 2010 album All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood. Last year, the album had

    Toxic Holocaust- "Nowhere to Run"

    The Needle Drop

    I heard about Toxic Holocuast’s new LP, Conjure and Command, from one of my most trusted sources on all that is metal: JGC Sound. If it wasn’t an easy guess from the album cover and band name, this is a thrash metal album. And it’s nice to

    Herman Dune- "Tell Me Something I Don't Know"

    The Needle Drop

    The highlight track from the French duo Herman Dune’s recently-reviewed new album Strange Moosic has an interesting music video. In the clip, Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm stars alongside a furry blue creature as they take a drive into the city to see the folk band perform at a

    Herman Dune- Strange Moosic

    The Needle Drop

    France’s Herman Dune has come correct with another batch of light, breezy indie folk tunes that make for a perfect summer listen. Like always, the band’s frontman, David, brings these songs to live with his approachable voice and personality. To me, some songs really do pale in comparison
